My team just got kicked from a $6000 Marvel Rivals Tournament 15 minutes before our first match because of my nationality/country of origin.
I need to talk about what happened in the ASUS tournament called ROG Rivals. Originally, I was on a team with YZNSA, Legendry, Trqstme (EU), Lvl1Crook (EU) and BADGENIUS. However, we decided to get another player in and I was moved to the bench. The rules of this tournament state that you can only have 2 non-Arabic players also known as “imports”.
I asked one of the admins whether I classified as an ''Arab'' or an ''import'', he asked me for my documentation and since I am Iranian, I sent him two pictures of my passport. He told me I was good to go. I asked him multiple times if I counted as an import or as a middle eastern player for our team cause that was what I was asked to do in order to play for the team and not count as an import.
I was told clearly that my team was approved and that he had spoken with YZNSA and our captain about our team lineup and that I was considered 100% middle eastern for this tournament. Which I assumed meant NOT an import.
I wanted to play the game and not be on the bench, I respected my team's decision to play someone else for synergy and went to make my own team. This team consisted of the following players with their nationalities included: Me (Iran) , Raajaro (Finland), Kqz (Iraq) , Crysis (Lebanon) , Mash (Morocco) , Fate (England).
I had signed up with our team before the deadline, which was 18 hours before the tournament match started. The tournament organizers knew of this. I find it difficult to imagine that the organizers would have disqualified YZNSA’s team if I had been part of it, but I’m reserving judgment for now. To be transparent, I have nothing but love towards the Arab community. This is only targeted towards the mismanagement and unfair treatment towards my teammates by the organizers.
Fast forward the next day, I booked us a scrim so we can practice as a team before the tournament match at 16:00 CEST. Nearing the end of our scrims I get informed by the admin that our team is ineligible and that the match will be forfeited. I was informed FIFTEEN minutes before the match started.
Why were we disqualified? For having more than TWO imports. When I asked who the imports were, the admin answered: “Raajaro, Fate and you”. I was dumbfounded because I had sent my passport and had asked for clearance multiple times. He said I don't count as an arabic player while being Iranian because on paper my passport isn't arabic. However I had asked multiple times in DMs if I got counted as an import or not and I had sent my IRANIAN passport and stated multiple times that I am from Iran. Even YZNSA himself told me that they were told by the organisers that I count as part of ''MENA'' for this tournament. He was confused about this as well because he wanted to play against my team.
They said that it was poorly communicated from their side. They implied I was greenlit as a non-import. Yet even with all those mistakes they made, they disqualified us 15 minutes before our tournament, and I was NOT allowed to get a substitute to play instead of myself while I resolved the issue with the organizers.
My teammates asked themselves what would have happened if I remained at Yznsa’s team. “Would they have kicked out the biggest names of the tournament as well if I was there?”
This outcome was extremely disappointing and unfair to my teammates, several of whom live in Arabic countries and had set aside personal commitments to compete because they could have used the money. They were never given the opportunity to play, even after I offered to find a substitute to replace me so that our team would fit their last minute obligations.
@ASUS_ROG@ASUS_MiddleEast is this the standard to which tournament operations under your name are held?
TL:DR of Kingsman Drama:
> 40k tournament on the line
> Kingsman recommends team takes games seriously because 40k is a lot of money
> Team is a group of women
> one chick is 0-5 while king is 18-2
> Kingsman suggest she swaps to a different character he even offers to swap to a different character for her to
> she refuses both whole team shits on him
> Kingsman warns whole team that every other team is gonna run triple support (busted team comp)
> whole team berates him again tells him he’s wrong
> whole tournament does exactly that and runs triple support
> their team goes 1-8 gets lasts place because they didn’t listen
> they never apologize all gang up on Kingsman again
> woman gets team and boyfriend to write a google doc on king labeling him a horrible person
> it works on tournament he gets kicked out
> Kingsman goes live gets sponsored has biggest stream ever makes more than 40k off return stream and yt vid
