I 100% agree with admins decision on it, if there is rules, it have to be respected, otherwise its the begining of a mess. 1st as it was said because brackets were made in a way that doesnt allow a 2k team to replace a 16 17 or 18xx team, but above all because if u allow them, then why not an other random team which contrary to didnt made a post but wasnt too ready in time, or any other team ? Im sure we can find several other teams/guys who finally regret to not have signed-up for this tourney, including some just when they saw the large amount of teams who finally signed-in, despite the very difficult no-to-say demoralizing path to group stage for all <1800 teams, and then the extrem level of these groups.
There was enough time to sign-up, admins even let many more hours to some teams who werent fully ready Friday midnight. Whatever the level of latecomers, this should NOT be took into consideration.
Chinu some words for u all the same, when u signed-in u were or should have been aware of the rules, only 32 places to group stage, I thought too this was too few and not the best solution thats why i proposed for more teams in groups, however tournament admins stated their reasons and we must accept it even if we dont agree ; considering ur case u can be already happy to face a team more or less at your level in qualifs, and to have the possibility to play a second match ; many 17xx teams wont have that possibility and will face 19 or 2k teams in one single deadly round. And anyways ur team is what, 1650 level maybe ? You cannot seriously expect to be apart of groups where lower teams will be 18xx, even with 40 or 48 teams in groups u probably wouldnt have succeeded to qualify anyways as lower teams level would have dropded to still 1750 i think. Ok i agree that with PoJ u can be sure of it and that isnt motivating but as it was said there is RTSL if u want to train/play more matches/compete more.
