XpreZ removed from EPS Scandinavia

ESL Pro Series Scandinavia is one team short as XpreZ is removed from the current season.

The Norwegian team XpreZ played their last match in ESL Pro Series Scandinavia this week against mTw. The team managed to get a very close match against the Danes, ending 16:14 in favor of mTw. XpreZ is however not longer to be found in ESL Pro Series Scandinavia, as the team have been removed due to accumulating too many penalty points. The team broke several rules in a short period and there was no way around the immediate removal of the team.

XpreZ produced penalty points which amounted to a prize money deduction above 35% of the overall prize money. Most of the players on the team did not have premium accounts, which is needed in order to participate in the league, which resulted in four minor penalty points.

The team did furthermore in the match against mTw use two ineligible players, xern and tacky. The players were added on 1st December, and were used on the 4th of December. New players shall wait one full playday, which in this case meant the players would have been eligible to play on the 15th of December.
This resulted in 1 major penalty point per player not eligible to play.

XpreZ also failed to upload the needed match media after their match against GamePlay, resulting in another 2 minor penalty points. This is end of the road for XpreZ’s ESL Pro Series adventure as they have been removed from the current season, plus banned from the current EAS and the coming EPS season.

Couldn't add them earlier cuz the team roster changed so fast. Shit rules (for players that it is). Should have been allowed to postpone the match or something. As for other penalties, I'd only say that it's unprofessional by XpreZ.

Premiums are 2 € per player each team gets 50€ per win so do the maths. To play in the EPS you just need stability and follow other simple rules such as statements etc... if a team cant follow that they dont deserve to play there tbh

Stop thinking with your ass, it's completely XpreZ's own fault. Everyone always whine about inconsistent teams, well tada, if teams can't even follow a few rules here and there I don't see how you could possible blame it on the admins? Besides they are not German, they are Scandinavian.

ye i know and understatnd this Xprez's fault but for example our CS:S player is banned because of stupid excuses of german admins he did what the german team did too, but they banned only him and so on...anyway XpreZ is my favourite team but they are quite "stupid"

lol, have u read the page with all the rules breaches they did? its like 2-3 major penalty`s, and a few minor, that beeing said, u think they should be treated different just becose they are a top team? I dont think so, and im glad to se that for once, that the admin does something right. Now xern has realeased a statement at catch-gamer saying that they are not used to playing in esl etc, all the new rules are new to them, but u would think they would know the rules, and then do something to not break them? They just cant keep doing things there own way anymore, specialy if they want to play at the level they do. thats my two cents, not that they are worth much :)

Omg, to many rules :) Can't the admins just let the players play? So what if two of them didnt "aproove" on the esl page... What difference does it make if they play 2 days after signing up or 10? If something, it's only positive for them. So it should be XpreZ's call if they want to play with them eventhough they haven't practised enough.

If they don't agree with the rules, they don't play in the tournament. Simple as that. Admins could demand 30 needed days after signing up before being able to play, it would be legit. They are the ones that decide, and they don't need a reason for it.
