Late last night it was announced on wc3l's homepage that the two prominent players 3WD.Remind and mYm|Susiria will receive a four play-day disbarrement from the WC3L.

Both players were in violation of rule 1.c. which states:
" Each player belongs to one and only one clan within the WC3L. Furthermore a player is not allowed to play in another online-event with prize-money for another clan than his WC3L-clan. Player's are responsible to know if the event provides prize-money or not. Violating this rule will automaticcaly lead to a 4 playday exclusion from the current competition stage beginning with the day an ESL WC3L Series Headadmin or Supervisor is notified about the matter."

Both players had been under investigation since earlier this week where a complaint was filed, stating that 5 or more korean players were in violation of the forementioned rule. HeadAdmin of the WC3L, Basci, undertook the task of investegating the matter, where the key to the investegation was wether or not the +5 players had played round 7 of the xp-cup, because this took place after the introduction of the season 7 rules, which were uploaded on january 6th.

This may seem harsh, but rules however rules and I applaud the WC3L for upholding the written rules. I myself was very early in process made aware of the dilemma, and engaged in talks with Baschi several times during the course of this investegation, which was conducted in a very fair and pragmatic manner.

Who's at fault?
I can only speak on behalf of mYm|Susiria and in his case the fault lies with mYm|Nordahl and myself, as it is our responsibility to make players aware of rule changes, which can have influence on their normal gaming patern. We however were not aware that the rules would apply before the start of the season, but alas this was not the case and we are of course berived and apologize for our failure. Which has caused mYm's most succesfull player last season, to undergo a 4 playday quarentine.

Consequences?
Of course its a big setback not having a key-player like mYm|Susiria available during the start of the upcoming season. We spoke with mYm|Susiria 2 days ago and made him aware of the situation and he was very upset about the whole perdicament, but has of course come to terms with the situation and he will return to the lineup after he has served the 4 Playdays Penalty. On a positive note for all the mYm|Susiria fans, he expressed that he would like to play some more European tours, like Incup and WC3M so you hopefully wont forget about him in this period of time.

Nordahl and myself has had some time to make some damage assement and have already prepared new strategies for the upcoming clan wars, and hopefully this will lessen the impact of mYm|Susiria absence. This will not mean any roster changes whatsover, seeing as we have multiple options with the current roster, and several competent players to fill in where need be.

On a sidenote mYm|Susiria did not play round out of a competetive wish, he had already forfeited 6 matches, but because he was helping a friend record a VOD.

To all the mYm|Susiria fans and mYm|Susira himself

Im sorry -mYm|Quinine
