The Emulate - MYM controversy:

Tournament area aflame



Enraged Emulate players re-paused their game with MYM. According to MYM's manager the admins decided that two rounds would be deducted from Emulate's total match score on the current map, de_train, as a penalty for the French player's pausing, and unpausing the game in the first half.

"- We will complain if we don't win this half," MYM's manager said.

"- Two rounds deducted is not sufficient penalty bearing the consequences of what happened."

MYM's "Neo" stated earlier that this caused MYM to lose the round in question as well as the two next rounds.

Apparantly Emulate was told of this decision while fighting an on fire Polish team. They decided to pause the game AGAIN to discuss with the admins. The discussion turned into a heated argument where one admin was sandwitched in between five French players with "Harts" being the more vocal of the five.

At press time it looks like the admin's initial call, of deducting two rounds, will hold up but they are still fighting. It seems like a tie breaker will be needed as MYM looks poised to win de_train regardless of the outcome of this debacle.

Controversy strikes as MYM fight to survive Emulate:

Neo: - We'll complain



Polish MYM got more than they could handle from Emulate on the first map, de_dust2. The 2007 WCG champions blew the 2006 champions off the board by 16-3. As the Polish team was trying to regain their footing on de_train controvercy struck.

"- They paused the match in the middle of a round, and we lost it because of that," Polish star Filip "Neo" Kubski said.

"- That loss forced us to do TWO save rounds and ruined our economy."

Consequently Emulate's score at the end of the first half was 8 rounds, as T - a score that is widely regarded as terrific. MYM's hopes are hanging in the balance, both pending the
outcome of the final half and the complaint.
