![]() ![]() After a few hours, the manager said none of his team members had said anything about a smurf. He said he would gladly ask his team to see if any of them had said anything to the admins. After talking to the team manager, he said that he had made no such report. The name of this supposed masters account that our sub apparently plays on.įirst I went to the team we had just went up against, as they were the only ones who had seen our sub play.From this, there were 2 things I had to find out: So I decided to do my own investigation to see where the admins had gotten this information against our sub. Especially players I had felt so close to at this point. However, as the manager of the team, I felt partially responsible for my players being kicked out of the tournament. ![]() To avoid any further punishment, the team decided to take the L and just move on. They had claimed our off-tank player had already been playing with him beforehand and knew he was a smurf the entire time. They said that there would be no discussion about whether or not he was a smurf and the player would simply be banned along with our off-tank player for bringing him in. They said that they didn’t have to tell us anything and that they had to “respect the privacy” of the person who had tipped them off (even though they were clearly violating the privacy of our player). We had asked the admins where and how they had gotten this information but they refused to share. The admins said they would lessen the penalty if he had shown them all of his different accounts but he simply didn’t have any. ![]() We had asked the played why he didn’t tell us he was a smurf and he said that he wasn’t. We had to forfeit the match we played because of it. After about 15 minutes, Lunar had announced that “after thorough research” they had concluded that the player we had subbed in was a smurf and he was actually a masters player that had thrown his way down to plat on a different account. It wasn’t uncommon for the admins to join our discord and leave occasionally, but we had asked if they had something to announce or anything but neither of them gave a response. Two of the admins “Lunar” and “Tarantino” joined our tournament discord in the middle of the night for seemingly no reason. We got along with him very well and we won the next match despite not having our carry dps which made us all very proud of ourselves.Īfter this match however is when things started to crumble. After doing some digging, our off-tank player “SunMilk” said that she had a friend that she met while playing ranked the week before who can sub for us. We were on track to make the playoffs and only had one loss under our belt out of the 5 matches we had played.Īfter our 3rd match I believe it was, our star dps “M0ist” had lost access to his pc and we had to find another player to replace him. Socks and Sandals started off very strong and we found ourselves at the top of the standing of the tournament. We found a suitable replacement in little to no time though. Being a college student, it was difficult for me to keep up with my school work and our practice schedule at the same time. However, before we played our first game, I had decided to step down from the player role and assume the position of manager instead. It was like we were a real team, something I had never really experienced with this game before. We practiced regularly and discussed strategies. After cycling through many team names, we eventually landed on the name “socks and sandals” and playing through the first few matches of the tournament were some of the most fun and educational experiences I’ve ever had. The teammates I got placed with all had great chemistry and we all still talk and play together to this day. After signing up for the tournament, the process went by very smoothly. After discovering Jayne’s channel around August of 2018, I became very invested in improving my skills as a player and was extremely excited to find out that he was running a tournament for players around my skill level. ![]() I am a platinum flex support player who has been floating between gold and platinum for the past 4 seasons. However, this is mostly a critique of admins currently running the discord and the tournament itself. This is why he has admins in the first place. However, after my experience with this tournament and the admins who run it, I am surprised that this isn’t being talked about more.ĭisclaimer: I know that Jayne himself is pretty detached from what goes on in this tournament. So I felt the need to make this thread because I know Jayne is a very positive face of this community and a lot of people (including myself) think of him very highly. ![]()
