[SJK eSports vs. Written in the Stars - LA Decision]

I just want to made it clear, SJK, SKY or me, didnt come to ask any special treatment. Never. We dont think we should get any. As ADETIKKI said, we are here to play and love this game. SKY & SJK were both prefering playing, instead of WOs. We tried to work together to get one night more. Bc ofc!! We wanna play, win or lose. Thats the only way, when we are in Elite Playoffs. Imo.

Im just little bit confused why people was so much against it. Don't you wanna see these awesome playoff games played? Would people be jealous or something if that extra day would given? If yes, why? I understand there is rules, but we didn't made this on purpose with SJK. It wasn't our fault, it wasn't SJKs fault. And for last time, there was nothing to do with that first lineup. These cases are not very common in Elite Playoffs I think. In my eyes, in this situation and both teams driving same thing together.. little extra time would been understandable.

Remember, this was friendly based writing...

@ADETIKKI @Bugimir @s_w1ld_rus Thx to all my teammates! Your support atm is most important thing! Love ya!

[SJK eSports vs. Written in the Stars - LA Decision]

@Bugimir Thx buddy. I know how things went, Im not blaming myself. We did everything. SJK as well. All respect to our opponent too. @Leksa94 @hooneli Great work on your side, I hope you guys very best on finals...

In last couple of weeks I have been maybe be a dick. I know that. Sorry for everyone. I dont hate people of here, I dont wanna be hated. I know, I act too heavily sometimes. Its my temperament. I think you can imagine my feelings atm... At the end, nothing personal.

Theres a many guys out there who knows Im good guy. Im not very best to show my real personality on internet. 

And @plee999 Much feelings, much passion. Im showing them. U know. Sry and thanks, Im out for this time.

[SJK eSports vs. Written in the Stars - LA Decision]

@gzell60 I'm not blaming SJK from anything. But how LA counted those days when teams were available, I dont get it? 

SJK didnt even try to get games on Wednesday so that day should not be counted right? Thursday they were online, we were not. Friday and saturday, as I said, should not be counted either? Sunday we were there, SJK didn't. Situation 1-1. Monday we played and tuesday both were online but in different times. So in my eyes situation is tied in what comes to days when you were able to play.

At the end, that "day race" should not be even one of the reasons to give a WOs. But maybe LA see this is our fault in some kinda way. You are not punishing only us, you punish SJK too. Taste is shit on both sides. GGs.

Then fucking give him all the details?? How can they make a decision if you seemingly hold pertinent information from them, dear fucking jesus christ on a bike, for the love of god never go near a court-room. 

You again, omg. This was first time for me working with LA and ofc I waited them to ask me some questions if something was unclear. I see there was unclear things, but they never came back with questions. They only assume. 

But you dont understand, its not surprise at all.

Why is the comment section below the actual ruling the first time we hear from you about someone being in hospital? If there's a lot more that isn't told in this post, then it wasn't brought to our attention in the first place.

Stop it.. You and staff, you don't care. You ASSUME things everytime. You guys dont respect top teams at all. Stop being lazy as shit and ask questions. You dont care if something is 100% true or not. Thats why you didnt ask anything from me after your first message yesterday. You only ask something once and then fill empty holes with your rulebook a.k.a JesusChrist Diary... Cama.

Tbh, with or without Bugimir, we were not able to play on Wednesday or thursday. We didnt have six players, our back ups were unavailable. What I can do then? We just didnt have six players. Case closed. 

Friday and saturday, weekend? When friday and saturday has been gamedays? Really? 

We were able to play sunday, monday and tuesday. Every fuckin those three days at least @ 21-22:30 FIN.

After all that, you are giving WOs? Wtf. Both teams wanted one xtra day. You cant just give WOs in this case. This was not SKYs or SJKs fault, sometimes your real life schedules does not fit with opponent as you want. Do you really think SJK or us wanted this? 

Two teams respecting each other and asking more time! Driving same thing together. Staff, are you afraid to give one more night bc you dont wanna get shit from old foxes? Im disappointed. Can we switch LA?

Anyway. News, articles, podcasts... Everything is more than welcome! Cama, keep it coming.

And if you could you still wouldn't play or what? I don't have a problem with waiting until the final few days of a weekly timeframe to play assuming both teams are cool with it. But if it's just one team dragging their feet and being overly annoying in terms of scheduling then yea, that's the perfect place for WOs in a playoff round. 

Yea I would still drink my morning coffee even without a milk...

@Leksa94 You can say and you can think anything you want. I said earlier I started this bc what happened against Dynasty. Ofc I need some reason to start discussion.

Its fun how you think you know everything. Tbh, today and tomorrow we are not even able to get six players online. If you think I lie, I can't do nothing.

@FlyerKungen Imagine how long the playoffs would take or how hard it would be to get the games played if everyone thinks like you? 

There would be eight teams in elite playoffs asking for more time because someone from their best possible lineup are on vacation, hangover, tired or cat has eaten someones playstation. And if your biggest argument is "this isn't competitive" there aren't any reasons to change anything based on that. NHL teams are playing their games too, even if somebody is injured and they can't use their best lineup.

We need rules and scheludes, if it's too hard to follow them, don't participate.

I'm tired of this new generation where minority thinks that everything should go like they want and how it's best for them, even if it harms the majority.

Did I say that would be usual or common situation to trying get longer deadlines? Don't be so simple. I don't think so. And I talked about few days or something like that. If something happens and only for special case. And there would not be eight teams asking that in Elite, U know that. So don't use color pens just bc you can't figure out anything smart. But that NHL argument was fun, I waited when somebody use that.

I don't know why I'm even answering to you, bc I see you haven't read even half of my messages. I said I respect rules and stick with those what we have at the moment. Can you bring anything wise on the table?

And that bolded magic. It tells me that you are basic finnish boy with cute face with lots of instagram followers. When somebody tells their opinion which is based on only their own experience, people think like you said. If you think I'm here bc everything should go like I want or what is best for me. You need to open your eyes.

The rule is there for a reason. If you have a really good player in your roster but he can only play once in a blue moon then is he really that 'good'? Since more often than not he can't play. 

Your job as a captain is to field the best possible lineup, not the best, as it has to be achievable. If you decide to take a chance and bring in 6 'main' players with 2 'fillers' then that's fine, but you absolutely cannot turn around to the admin team and ask for an extension because one guy was 'off'. The player minimum is there for a reason and if you end up being forced to play a playoff game because one of your main guys can't play, well then that's completely your fault for not acquiring good enough backup players. 

Ideally do WOs have a place in playoffs? No. Alas we don't live in a perfect idyllic world now do we? So such a thing will inevitably occur once in a while. 

You have good points there but what comes about PlayOffs, I stay on my side. It's easy to use best lineup @ playoffs, if you have 6 or 7 very active players. It's not very easy to get good enough backups. I don't wanna run 8 players circus if we got room for 6 or 7 mans party. But as I said, things/cases like that doesn't happen very often. Luckily. This time the case was super unlucky. But I don't expect anything. I know this is kinda special case and I don't have too many players on my side.

Every Captain ride their roads as they want and I promise I will not face that kinda situation anymore. But just in case, there could be something different in rules.

Of course. As I said earlier, we try our hardest to help teams out. That said, it's within reason - we will do it, BUT we also need to keep things fair for everyone and avoid giving anyone preferential treatment. 

We will obviously support anyone If something unexpected happens and if because of it they won't have enough players to complete the games. It's understandable. The thing is - we don't feel that "not being able to ice the best lineup" falls into this category.  

It feels like staff is always hiding behind this "eight player" rule. You guys just use it like a shield to avoid things. It's also shame you don't care about competitive ECL as much as I hoped. "Keep things fair for everyone...", I'm not sure is it fair to force teams to play with bad or secondary lineup at most important games of season, if they play and practice 95% of time with one same lineup. For example, asking few more days in that situation, it's not ridiculous.

I took this to the table only bc I faced case like this first time in my Captain career. We we're really unlucky, no one's fault. It is Captains responsibility to take a good care if they hit on the ice with small roster and one lineup. And I'm not talking only about us, I don't wanna any team need to face cases like this in future. This kinda cases doesn't happen very often, but if that happens, there's need to be something to do. Just in case.

That if something happens such as an accident or traumatic experience etc something you cant plan beforehand im quite sure LA will give more time

Yea, ofc the responsibility is for teams captains and players. So if you plan something not so necessary and you know it would be effect to your teams playoffs, but you still do it... Yeah, its not LA's problem. But usually its just bad luck that you cant get best possible lineup. Like other forcing things in real life. It's just would be so relaxing to know when series start: "ok, if something bad happens, we have a change to get more time 0,5 or 1 week bc rules already said that or something". I know staff use lots of time for keep building this shit together. But as we players do... We play fkin too much to give up easily.

It's not easiest thing to handle some many Divisions, players, teams... me... But at the end, I'm always thinking only how we can be more competitive. At ECL 5, right now, deadline is so tight, bc of Christmas and staff wanted to Seasons end before it, so I will stick with it. So there is not even room for accidents. But as I keep saying I'm talking about future.

As far as I know, the “asking” bit is not really the truth. We always aim to finish within the allowed time frame. Never has anyone from SSG personally asked anyone for "more time". If they (LA) say you can still play 7 days after last game day or 0, we take it into consideration when scheduling last few weeks. Please refer to facts you only know about.

That wasn't personally forced for SSG. I'm not even interested who is dealing with WO's. In regular season, it seems like there is always gonna be some teams for it. I just used that "SSG" for example. Dunno really why. I know staff made mistake there as well. Don't be mad, everything is fine. I don't have anything against you or SSG. And if it helps, I'm sorry.

Yes i understand, for example i will be in usa for 2.5 weeks in march, i was quite sure it didnt hit poff time but it might, but considering that my team (if i find one and is going to poffs) should be given 3 weeks to schedule, if you want to play competitive imo week is enough for 1 series as it mostly has been. 

Yeye, three weeks are too much. I go simple here now... I'm pretty sure most of series can be played now and in the future with only one week. But IF something happens, there should be so well planned season with room at the end and that kinda rules, so in playoffs staff can be more flexible and give 0,5 or 1 week more time just bc of one or two key players can't play. It's not too much, imo. I love competitive NHL and I wanna play with our best players against opponents best players. If you keep playing and practice like months and months with your best weapons. Much more than others. You don't wanna go war without them. It feels so stupid, why we even played so much, why we even practice? I know pretty good how fucking heavy thing that can be. But as I said earlier, there is many kind of teams and players. It's hard to understand me, if you haven't feel the same as me...

Let me see if i get this straight, in regular season more time wouldnt help but in playoffs it will? 

Let me see if you doesn't see they are totally different world to shedule games. In regular season you are dealing with many teams per week etc and it's also much larger package. 1 or 1,5 week deadline in regular season is good so you kinda stay in touch. In playoffs, you have only that one opponent where to put focus. So it would be much more competitive to give more time for the series, so you can 100% sure play with your best possible lineup there. Or even play. In regular season its not so necessary as U know. It's not world end if you need to use potato as goalie in one regular season night. But what about playoffs? I think its kinda world end.

But yeah, my writings was kinda made for teams, who wanna play as comptetitive as possible. So pls, don't fuck dots. I know you are wise man. Read with mind.

We understand that everyone wants to play with their best lineup. Tho it's not always possible and you have to work around it. The deadlines for each round are there for a reason -  everyone has to follow the same set of rules and the same deadlines. There's no preferential treatment.

OK, lets say we indefinitely extend the current round of the playoffs because of a single matchup where both teams couldn't ice their best lineups. Now what? Everyone's forced to wait? What will we do when another team approaches us regarding the same issue? What happens when in the following rounds teams actually can't play their games because of the previous delays (holidays are right around the corner)? What happens when we are forced to push back/cancel the next ECL/Summer Cup? 

We're open to all suggestions and will always try our hardest to help teams to overcome any potential issues.

There are valid reasons for not being able to finish the series and if such cases arise we can possibly try to squeeze in an extension. That said, demanding an extension simply because one of your main players decides to go on a vacation and then the team doesn't want to play the series even though they have enough capable players is just ridiculous.

Please respect other members of this community and their time.

Ok, sry for myself. I need to catch this. With that bolded line, why? Cama. Are U tryin' to BABYSIT me here? I'm really sure U know what I'm talkin' bout. xoxo If you don't keep private things out of here, me either. Customer service as it best. No hard feelings, just giving a feedback in my way. But I'm not sure are you best person to say "respect others".

It's fun how the whole LA keeps saying same things over and over again. Jaadajaada... My point here wasn't that I wanna teams get forced to wait others or something else. Just saying, think before you even start! That was the point. Staff forcing and waiting all teams to play whole season within 8 weeks without any WO's is also as ridiculous as (for example:) me asking two weeks more time bc Ulla went to Hawaiji with him Tinder match. Blaablaa...

Ok, I understand, giving 8 or 10 weeks for Regular Season would not change anything. Theres always that one "SSG" at the end, asking more time to play. 1 or 1,5 week for three opponents is pretty good, imo. But for future, I wanna see at least longer PlayOff deadlines. Or at least more freedom with them. I mean, think before you start, as I said. If Christmas comes to your way, then it comes. Don't force PlayOffs in future. We can continue playing on January as we (you) did @ ECL 3. Why we even wait one month after game release to start ECL? Now we need to hurry with everything. Rules @ ECL 5 are already written. I can stick with those, I respect them as much as I can. But I'm talking about future (ECL 6 etc.). I don't wanna see any WO's, I wanna see more competitive and friendly rules for top teams. Imo, if we (you) are smarter, we can play Seasons without killing tight deadlines. Just be straight and simple with those rules what comes about games deadlines in future. And do it before you start season, not when season is going to end. The fear about WO's is always here when you play or not. It's not good. Plan your seasons with more time, so at least those PlayOff WO's are gone forever.

I respect you and other members. Different opinions are richness. But I think, nobody doesn't care how many seasons we play in a year. Me and other members will enjoy much more to play 1-2 ECL Seasons which are almost 100% succesful with good straight rules, than playing 3-4 ECL Seasons which are 75% succesful bc there isn't really change to be flexible. There's always a problems and there's always different kind of teams. Others maybe doesn't care about WO's, but I care.

And don't get me wrong. The problem isn't as big as my text is. It's interesting to discuss and this is what I think. Perfectly planned is half done...

seems necessary to get some teams to play in time. perhaps it helps for upcoming tournaments  

But still, it's bullshit. ''Yeee leggo and let's play good regular season so after that we can gain WO losses at first round of PlayOffs.'' Thing what should been never happen. And in my mind, if that happen, It only tells about stupid rules. Staff can always keep crying about how you can have so many backups in roster, bc we got that cute 8 players minimum rule. Fuck that. There is teams who wanna play with one lineup to get best possible result. Respect that first!!! And I don't mean scheduling should be some kinda kinder garden to teams but you got the point I hope.

Maybe staff can think what they can do better with rules and scheduling in future. That 'wannabe strict' what I have seen so far is kinda hilarious sometimes.

I have experience how LA guys can be disrespectful against team Captains so I have full rights here to say directly what I think. And no... I don't need any staff member to answer this. I have other things to do. I just wanted to say. I respect all work you do, but theres a things what I can't really understand. Maybe someday.

Sry & thx, remember to enjoy this awesome PlayOff time!
