Lots of tank action if that's to your liking.

Yeah, let's break it down since you're incapable of being neutral about this.

"Disqualifying a person who legitimately reached the final" - Incorrect, he reached the finals in breach of tournament T&C's technically.

How is this a breach exactly? In what way does not having a passport or whatever the issue is, invalidate Noggano's climb to the finals? Are you going to seriously suggest he does not deserve the second place prize? There may be complications, as is the case, with the live event but in no way, shape or form should this strip you of what you've achieved in the tournament, just like any other player.

You're speaking nonsense, Noggano is still able to fly if he can get things sorted which fingers crossed, can happen. The issue is that if he can't go, third and fourth place will need to fight for that spot. Relic haven't 'picked' someone to fly they are presenting options to the remaining top 3 contestants in the situation that Noggano can't uphold the conditions, you're talking bulls***t

Again, I think you're the one talking bull**** here, why is there no effort being made to compromise an effort to have this final played offline with DevM still going? Sure Noggano can make an effort and try to make it but in the likely case that he cannot go, he shouldn't be punished for it just because you want an elaborate LIVE casted final in some half-assed attempt at appearing to be E-Sports? You can just as easily have the finals casted over there, you'd just be missing Noggano. I understand the event would look a bit silly if only one of the contestants was present in the studio but I don't think the current situation is fair or justified by any means.

I never claimed Relic picked anyone to fly any players out, they all fought for that right (which is actually what happened to a certain extent in the case of the casters). You don't start giving players who've lost and been positioned appropriately another chance. Like you said yourself, if you have rules then you should rigidly abide by them and having the power to dictate who plays and doesn't play for a spot that is already taken is just stupid.

If you're that desperate to hold the finals in person with both contestants then simply postpone the tournament which is not ideal but if you give such late notice to the parties involved then Relic, Kyle or whoever organised this rushed mess should have anticipated such a possibility.

In the context of this thread about a balance preview mod? Yes. Yes, I am.

Ok, cool.

No, they play on toasters.

How much do you want to bet the game doesn't run smoothly on a 5820K, 980 Ti and 16GB of RAM?

Cool patch but not enough. Performance remains unaddressed, maps are untouched, commanders are for the most part still 98% useless and irrelevant and there is nothing but more content being pumped into the game without refinement and bug fixing being done beforehand. The amount of bugs is just increasing and the bug fixes list is getting shorter.

I am gonna vote for the "not quite enough" option.
