Clan League Group C - M'Hunters GL Team Ruling: 2016-07-26 08:59:30

Let me help you out.

1) Alts - A player may only operate 1 account in a given clan league (regardless of division, and must declare their main if using an alt.

When you quote a rule it is important you quote the entirety or you risk losing clarity and objectivity. The rule is ambiguous for a number of reasons: -

1. No clear definition is given for the word alt. Are you an alt if you log on a friends account once?

2. The rule appears to be aimed at 1 person having sole ownership of two accounts, and not a situation where there is shared access to an account.

3. Rule 6 contradicts your interpretation of rule 1, as it states someone can take over an account for a retired player. There are circumstances and constraints around it, but providing those are met, rule 6 states that one player may operate 2 accounts - assuming you take a sufficiently broad interpretation of operating 2 accounts to include logging onto your team mates account.

6) Retirements - Someone can take over an account for a retired player if it is declared and they violate no other CL rules in the process (RR limit, 2 clans, etc). A player can also be replaced entirely in a tournament due to retirement (if you have no access to their account), but only in games not started yet.

I absolutely agree that your interpretation is valid. The rules can certainly be read in that way. In order to be impartial however you need to consider both sides.

Given the lack of clarity, and the context that babysitting accounts is common practice in other competitive team events, then it is equally reasonable that you could read the rules and not see the actions of Emu Pub/LTEmperor as doing anything wrong.

I'm glad that the clan league organisers were able to objectively look at both sides of the debate. It was a complex case which needed to be understood from multiple angles and could not be resolved by taking a black and white approach. They showed strength to make a decision that is fair, even though they would have known they would take criticism from those who aren't able to/don't want to look at things from multiple perspectives.

Next rule breaker: Chromeo plays ME 1v1 with his own account and now 3v3 with the LTEmperor account on Great Lakes. I already told the clan league management about this and they gave me green light. What are the SJW's in this thread gona do about that?

Edit: Or to be more precise: The clan league management had a problem with Emu Pub taking over an account for someone in the same tournament. There was absolutely no rule going in this direction and no, Benjamin628's private chat doesn't count. An already playing player "multi accounting" with the account of a retired player is allowed according to the rules, else the prerequisite that this player isn't allowed to extend his tournament limit doesn't make sense.

Yeah, I too am wondering what extreme viewpoint your alt has on the issue.
