Some teams forgot what "fair-play" is and wanted to ruin the fun of the World Cyber Games. Four "great" Counter-Strike : Source teams recieved a yellow card. The teams that recieved one were; Greece, Switzerland, Mexico and Spain. Team Turkey didn't like to lose and started to argue at the WCG officials.
None of the teams were given a red card. But when they recieve a 2nd one it will be converted into a red one. If that happens then they are out of the tournament.
Anyway, Mexico and Greece received a yellow card because they ghosted during the game. Ghosting means that people talk when they died in their game of CSS.
A player of the Spanish CSS team recieved one because he was stupid enough to forget his badge.. But the greatest of all is that a player of Switzerland tried to steal a mouse from a different player in the tournament area and got caught by one of the WCG Admins.
The penalty standing board
1 Yellow card - CSS Greece ?Ghosting in game
1 Yellow card - CSS Mexico ?Ghosting in game
1 Yellow card - Spain ?No badge on a player
1 Yellow card - Switzerland ?Attempted stealing
Team 'ATI power color TGT' representing Turkey in the WCG CS tournament claims WCG ruling was false to allow Malaysia to advance to the at expense of the Middle Eastern country.
After Turkey and Malasia tied in their group match, both teams win ratio were equal. So some rules were applied:
As I quote from the World Cyber Games Rules Page
Group Full League qualification process
1) Win Ratio
2) In case of tie in win ratio, the winner of the match between the two teams qualify
3) If the qualifiers are not decided by above two conditions, a decision will be made based on the number of rounds won/lost as CT/TR
To determine the groupwinner, their match and more importantly their roundratios against India's team 'ACID', third team in their group, would become decisive.
Turkey was scheduled to play ACID first. After a hard fought battle the Turks won in a close match ending 18-12.
Then a huge debate was staring and the atmosphere was heating up and lasted for over two hours long. Then Turkey began to argue that India gave up, allowing FMJ to win by enough rounds to let them advance on to the next round. Turkey抯 argument was that after India realized they couldn抰 advance because of their loss to them in the second match of the group, they gave up. Not playing hard, Turkey argued, gave the spot in the next round to FMJ.
Another factor was Turkey抯 involvement in an issue in last year抯 WCG 2004. Turkey was last year forced to replay a match with Team Canada, EG, because it was ruled that they were using a person to watch Canada抯 screens and relay positions. Turkey felt the ruling was unfair, and used an argument that they were being unfairly victimized again this year by a 搇oophole?in the rules.
Team Turkey has filed an official complaint with the ICM, the governing company of the WCG topped with a possible boycott for WCG 2006.
