I usually don’t comment on things like this and tend to keep to myself.
I initially started off wanting what’s best for my own personal gain, but after spending some time talking to others, I realized that the slight personal gain was not worth the cost, and I am now in favor of extending the deadline with the same seeding.
The part about this situation that bothers me the most is the hypocrisy that comes from this circle-jerking friend group (not the CTG members). The same people who are trying to bend the rules now, clowning us for suggesting a compromise that benefited us while also helping the people who messed up the registration, were doing the most and speaking the loudest to push for the rules to be enforced when our group and friends were being punished. If the roles were reversed and we were receiving some form of punishment while their friends were benefiting, these guys would either not say a word or would be pushing for our downfall. I don’t really care if we play in open qualifiers or not anymore, the result is the same in the end.
