As was discussed in several other threads, they weren't in the top points numbers, thus no invite.

Hmmm, guess I misunderstood then, me apologies. But yeah, now that you mention it, I think they were abstaining due to the new rules implemented.

Yes we opted out. We just have no interest in the current rules system. We will keep our eyes on this as the rules and policies develop. For now we are focused on the Sunday Rumble and pre-Cogs training.

And the community split has begun. Cheers guys. I thought this competitive community was supposedly better than all the other ones out there. So disillusioned right now it's unbelievable. Thanks a lot.

Effective immediately and until further notice, although I will remain a part of Overwatch and it's leadership, I want absolutely nothing to do with this games infighting, pathetic competitive scene. To Everyone: Sort it the hell out now before it becomes any worse than it already is!

And the community split has begun.

And so unnecessarily... all because of a single clans exaggerated bitching and a single tournament organizers arguable reaction to it.
Seriously can't you guys just pull those sticks stuck up in your stubborn asses and start to talk again? You don't have to like each other, but it'd greatly benefit the general good of our community if you could agree to sort out your problems and maintain that very minimum of communication that's required to get tournaments running.

As for the Gents, I respect their decision (https://gunsoficarus.com/community/forum/index.php/topic,2850.msg48924.html#msg48924) and agree that muse handled and communicated the situation rather poorly.

The post season tournament is using the rules from the past season, not the new rules.

maybe 4 dragons and whoever we can grab off the street... talking of which, anyone interested in helping us out? We're pretty badly shorthanded right now but we'd rather not be that clan to drop out of a tournament at the last minute.

When the lag seems to have stopped, only to have your expectations ruined by another spike lag

Hey Guys,

Thanks for an awesome first day.  It got crazy for a bit, but I know we had a lot of fun and can't wait to challenge some great teams in day 2.
We had some issues with our hosting company that we're working out right now and I'm really sorry for anyone who experienced lag spikes.

I simpatise with anyone who experienced lag spikes yesterday (our own clan members, amongst others), but I pesonaly have had much worse on various TSRs (not blaming TO of TSR, lag spikes can happen at any times).

Those were some amazing games.  The Flying Dutchman vs Duck Match was certainly a highlight I'll never forget.
We'll be doing this with more fanfare soon, but for now:

1st place: Ducks
2nd Place: Merry Men
3rd Place: Sky Invading Rhinos

For the full scores and placement. (http://binarybeast.com/xGoIO1311240)
