Before I go any further, let me make this point abundantly clear:

HYPER IS NOT DISQUALIFIED

There was a dispute after their match with the zomblerz for using an illegal config. I’m not going to bog you down with details, but basically some people watching the match noticed that something was amiss, notified an admin, and we’ve just finished sorting everything out.

Hyper had asked an admin prior to the zomblerz match if they could edit their configs for improved FPS. There was a miscommunication which led to Hyper adding illegal commands, and that’s what started everything. It’s worth noting that this only affected the match with zomblerz, before that, Hyper was using the same (legal) configs everybody else was using.

After talking to pretty much everybody with any say at the CPL, there were two options: disqualify Hyper or replay the match after changing Hyper’s configs back.

Zomblerz chose to have great sportsmanship and agreed to replay the match. I’m not going to say whether it was right or wrong for them to do so, but in the end the playing field is going to be level. The best team will, theoretically, still advance, and that’s a pretty good outcome from a sticky situation.
