The Atomic Masters situation.
I'm looking for unbiased opinions (not from Masters or Atomic members) on the situation, I'll try to explain it clearly.
The following spoiler is a screenshot of my chatlog with Jorge, I was given permission to post it and can pm a ss of him giving permission to anyone that doubts me.
In the logs we schedule the match after I state that I will cancel the match if something doesn't work out. Jorge responds "Alright" making me think that he is acknowledging what I have said and is okay with it. Apparently I wasn't clear because Jorge claims that's not what he meant but doesn't say I can't cancel it. Numerous times other teams have canceled on Atomic with Jorges consent so I figured it was no big deal seeing as we still had 5 days until the deadline. Where I was wrong I guess is that a new rule was added saying that you cannot cancel a scheduled match unless both teams agree, though we were not alerted of this and it's not explicitly stated anywhere in the rules.
So, in the end Atomic was forced into a forfeit which I find extremely unfair, of course I am biased towards my team though. Looking for other opinions on the matter as I hope maybe this can be changed since it really puts Atomic in a tough spot and the deadline isn't for another few days yet.
Not trying to start shit, just looking for input, I'll answer any questions to the best of my ability.
