Savage XR & Heroes of Newerth Community

Carnival in Germany, if you know what I mean..
If he didn't play for eXp and since he left/got kicked without having played for a clan yet, I don't see a problem with him joining in another clan.

Can't be the 3rd since I got his message just yesterday..

No.

 

I'd prefer something like this 
In addition, shouldn't the logo say 'a newerth.com production' ? 

The wiki is bugged at the moment, we're trying to fix this issue asap.

Should have called the game "Diablo - Error 37" -,-

Thanks for that! Now I dont have to (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ in duels anymore. Before this explanation it didn't make any logical sense to me that a hit of my claw/axe did not do any damage which made me quit the game 

I wonder if anyone ever read this, especially the first point of the posting guidelines..

To prevent some drama I'd like to explain my decision.
The SWC Rules clearly say it is not allowed to shoot over a mountain, regardless the map situation. The player KQ broke this rule as you can see on this image:



As you can see this is only for smaller props, so no mountains. Though this might apply for a mountain's side edge.

In the NSL or on public servers the situation of KQ might have been evaluated in a different way, because it was easy for the enemies to sneak around that mountain's corner and kill him, but still he shot over a mountain which is agaist the rules in THIS tournament. It is a thing players have naturalised, but it does not apply for the SWC.
Though this does not mean it is allowed to shot over mountains in general in the NSL/publics. They just handle it with another intention.
I might be that this should be written more clear in the rules, but that is not my task. I am just the executive.
It was never my intention to say that ballistic curve weapons should be used like coil or tempest, in a straight line. I just followed the rules that say "Dont shoot over a mountain!" There are several other points from where the cata could have shot without directly revealing itself.
In addition this is a teamgame, so your team should be able to defend you when you are a catapult, but that is another story.
I just gave the lowest punishment and noted it for myself as 1/2-infraction if something happens to him again, because of this naturalised ruling and I had a feeling that there would be a few "complaints".
Still, I am just enforcing the rules that were made before the tournament started and I am trying to keep everything as calm as possible.

I feel like I have missed something to say here, but I hope you are able to understand my point of view now.

After reviewing Tirza's video and Groentjuh's Screenshots (thanks for those things!) and having a look at the map itself, I have come to the following conclusion:
The player KingQuiBiT/KQ has been found guilty, because he did infringe rule #17, which clearly states that firing over "impassable" rigid terrain is illegal.
To make you feel happier look at this screenshot, where you can clearly see that he shoots over the mountain. Even though he did not hit anything with his shot, the attempt is still there!

The judgment reads as follows: The player KingQuiBiT/KQ receives a yellow card.
One more infraction and he is going to be suspended or will be disqualified from the tournament.
Furthermore, Team A.S.O receives 1 penalty point.
The match result is not affected.

To clear up questions:
KQ is allowed to play the next match unlike in Azura's case, because playing with a not registered player is weighting 3 and Buguse 2-4. It was lucky for KQ that he did not hit that sublair or anything else, else he would be suspended for the next match.
Team A.S.O receives a penalty point, because the Team's captain is responsible for the actions his players make. In addition this is a team game.
If i missed anything in my explanation or you still got a question, feel free to contact me.

I added the penalty point system myself. Those are not -1 points! They are, as said above, yellow cards. I don't want to make the cup toooo strict so if a team has 3 penalty points it will be disqualified.
Should have make a thread about that earlier, but I hope it is clear now.

I have successfully reviewed case and found evidence that it was the accused player who participated in the match.
The player Asura/Azura has been found guilty, because he did infringe rule #4, which clearly states, that players have to use the icon from the country they've signed up for the SWC, or the region they've been assigned to, and took an active part in the match.

The judgment reads as follows: The player Asura/Azura is not allowed to participate in the upcoming match!
If he's going to infringe a rule again he will be disqualified from the tournament.
Furthermore, Team Poland receives 1 penalty point.

As you can see from the Stats&Rankings page, the accused player does not even have an account with the correct clan tag, so I'd like to advise the polish leader to add the player to the ingame roster.

Welcome to gaming competitions. It is a common rule that players who take part in an esport-tournament have to use their nickname and clantag they've used to register.
Every player has to stick to the rules that were accepted when they've signed-up.
