I Can understand admin decisions to give advantage to "better players" or higher seed for entertainment purpose, which is not the case, clearly we had the same rule being applied in very different ways (both if you are strict to how the rule states it..) which made the brazilliam team to lose their spot..
This obviously affects not only the team and those players, who are probably feeling very demotivated, since they ain't "special" as the others..but also the final results on tourneys, because of the size and the timeframe, AoELympics is a challenge regarding schedule, especially when it has to compete vs bigger events such as redbull and so on, aws are expected, high elo players will fail in their schedule aswell, and shoul'd be punished for that, at the same point if the idea is getting more matches player, giving extra time for teams to schedule or reschedule(if BOTH teams are fine with it) could help a bit...
What we can't accept is having both guys getting eliminated, after two no-shows by the opponent team just because they ain't "big enough".. i doubt viper/mbl would ever receive the same treatment, and this is just unnaceptable.
