In Qualifier #1 of my HusKerrs Howl tournament, I poorly handled a situation in which my teammate Hisoka was blatantly streamsniped multiple times, causing us to lose that map. The match was reset due to this, even though the rule book at the time stated no resets for streamsniping. I unfortunately did not realize this was the ruling, as it was copied over from my last tournament a year ago. Had I known, I would have had the rule amended before the tournament began to include resets for blatant streamsniping, as this is pretty standard in most 2v2 tournaments.
Because of this, @zGhoullll and @Jayvela_ ended up losing the map and a spot in the finals tomorrow. I would like to apologize to them both for mishandling this. After speaking with them privately to make things right, I will be giving them a spot in the finals tomorrow and personally paying them the 1st place qualifier prize since they never had the chance to make it that far in the qualifier.
BREAKING: Folarin Balogun could face an extended suspension, per @MarkOgden_
FIFA's disciplinary panel will review if the challenge warrants more than the automatic one-match ban originally issued.
