My two cents on the EWC signup situation :
Let me preface this by saying that I hope the teams that failed to complete the form get a second chance as I think it would be a disservice to the scene if they don't play, although I'm obviously biased as some of them are my friends.
To me this is just another example of something that really pisses me off : TFT pro players not taking their job seriously enough. Professional players want big orgs to invest in the scene, they want to be paid and respected but they don't hold themselves to that standard.
The FACEIT thing is obviously ran by admins that, while I'm sure they're competent on other esports, don't really know much about TFT, we know that the signup process is weird since last year, so just double check everything man, I swear it's not that hard.
When we qualified for last year's EWC, I remember that legit half our scrims got cancelled or delayed last minute for reasons such as : players not waking up, teams booking two scrims at the same time, teams messing up timezones, teams straight up not showing up.
I also know some TFT pro players have just terrible life rythms, are waking up at 6 pm, don't go out, eat garbage food, etc.
Sorry for the yapping, this is not meant to be a shot at anyone in particular, I'm just tired of seeing players that I care about and respect shooting themselves in the foot, and damaging the scene for themselves and others by the same occasion.
