DRILLAS replace AMSALEM with SENER1

16-10-2024 18:24

The ohnePixel-backed team has enacted a change ahead of the Asia RMR.

SENER1 is back in action with DRILLAS

Update: 18:38 : A DRILLAS team representative shared to HLTV that the decision to remove Meytar "⁠AMSALEM⁠" Amsalem was a "mutual agreement among all the players, who decided to submit Sener "⁠SENER1⁠" Mahmuti instead." AMSALEM also confirmed that he didn't feel comfortable in the team in a statement on X.

DRILLAS have announced that SENER1 will replace AMSALEM ahead of their Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024 Asia RMR campaign, set to start on November 11.

SENER1, who is most known for his time on Bad News Eagles, returns to activity four months after the Kosovar squad disbanded following the loss of organizational support. He joins the team to replace AMSALEM, DRILLAS' second-lowest rated player with a 1.09 average.

ohnePixel signs team for Shanghai Major qualifiers

DRILLAS, the project backed by German streamer ohnePixel, came together in August with the aim of qualifying for the Major through the Middle East qualifier.

They passed the first test in the open stage and made the Middle East RMR Closed Qualifier, where they secured the only RMR spot on offer after a win against Onyx Ravens. Since then, the team has competed in several online cups with limited success and has now enacted a roster change ahead of their trip to China.

SENER1, who was listed on the team's Asia RMR roster as a substitute, will now replace AMSALEM for the "rest of the team's events, including the RMR in Shanghai."

PW Shanghai Major RMR rosters revealed

The Asia RMR is set to run from November 11-13, with Volodymyr "⁠Woro2k⁠" Veletniuk's squad among the outsiders for one of the three coveted Major spots. DRILLAS' opening match in Shanghai will come against Lynn Vision.

Date	Matches
Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024 Asia RMR

DRILLAS are now:

Volodymyr "⁠Woro2k⁠" Veletniuk

Sener "⁠SENER1⁠" Mahmuti

this only applies when the "player" isn't affecting you. what about all of the actual asian teams that lost/could lose RMR and Major spots because ohnePixel wants to bullshit his way to the major. You get these situations in every sport and esport where a party with a ton of cash will buy a bunch of players and dominate the leagues they are in. it's never fun for anyone who isn't a dickrider or a gloryhunter. fuck ohnePixel, tbh.

2024-10-16 19:51

you only really bend rules if you do something that's outside the realm of what the rule allows hence the term bending. Here they are following the actual rules of the major like it's a logical proposition. Hence, they are no in fact engaging in rule bending behavior in this instance. Regards.

2024-10-16 21:46

6 replies

It's "bending" exactly because it's not "breaking". It's acting juuuuust in the scope and really pushing it to the limit but not breaking it. Usually it ends up with rules being more strict in the future, but there's no need for that, next time there won't be any qualifiers and rules for them to abuse, you will be invited on merit throughout the season, not by exploiting loopholes.

2024-10-16 21:50

5 replies

The problem is the rulebook is so large with what it will allow (team can choose region based on a tie in the lineup for instance) and there are zero rules stated about where the substitute has to come from. So yes they are taking advantage of the fact that the rulebook doesn't contain specific requirements but they're just literally following the rules. You could say that is bending the rules but only from the point of view that you think it should be changed. The only thing i think should be changed is a requirement that the substitute must retain the majority middle east region which i don't think they have with seneri unless he has dual citizenship? If you make the rules even stricter you essentially end up with mickey mouse teams in RMR because there are zero middle eastern, competitive lineups (all the good israeli players have been poached already right). From the standpoint that the rules are inadequate, they still are not bending them imo. But you can still have the opinion that it's not specific enough which i would agree with.

not exactly, the sub can be from anywhere, but the majority should be from the region they signed up for. That way you eliminate the tie rule which i think is not congruent with the way we normally speak about cores and regions on HLTV, and you don't limit the type of sub the team can get unless they want to specifically sub out from their core.

2024-10-17 14:24

2 replies

My proposition is a bit easier to follow, simply because there's only 1 sub and you don't know who might fall down with an illness or will have a visa issues when you register a sub. And yet we have the same idea: keep the core in the region. Mine does it no matter what. Yours fails to account for non-import that makes the core to have troubles (in case it's 3 2 combination, for example, one of 3 can't make it, but your sub was with accounting for one of the 2. Task failed. Works for 4 1, 3 1 1 and 5 0 though), unless you register several subs just in case for every situation, but currently only 1 is allowed. That requires further changes then. Or requires those 3 2 and 2 2 1 to limit themselves to the subs only from the region, but that's not written concrete rule then and theh should do so just to account for troubles themselves. And if we sit down and write possible subs for every region structure of the team it will be more words and more convoluted.

2024-10-17 15:06

1 reply

Yes if the sub is locked early on my system would fail. It would need to have the ability to bring in anyone very close to the RMR actually happening to allow for the specific scenario that someone from the regional core gets sick or whatever. That could be fixed with having the substitution locks much closer to deadline for instance. And i also think registering several subs make sense just like most teams do with every single t1 tournament. And in that way you could register one from X region and another from the required region if the former situation applied anyway. I think there's no poor or good way to do it as such both ways to address the issue have advantages and drawbacks. The key is that i think we can all agree that when valve doesn't regard a core in the same way we usually do on HLTV (3/5 player rule) and don't care about it changing - that is the actual issue with the way they handle regions with teams. EDIT: and to stress what i mean with valve don't consider cores the same way, the 'tie rule' as said earlier allows a team with lets say two from EU and two from asia and one from a third region to choose freely between EU and Asia. I don't think that's a good idea but obviously we would need a new system to then account for such a situation or simply enforce it - which is also not ideal.

2024-10-17 21:55

Oh I see, thanks for the clarification. I just had no idea that sener1 was registered as a substitute for drillas

you need to have atleast 3 players from the region. hadji has double-nationality to france and morocco. amsalem and meztal are from isreal. this means they were eligible to play in the levantine & north africa open qualifier that got them to the middle east closed qualifier and then asia rmr. there is no rule that limits a team's SUB's nationality, so drillas simply have sener1 listed as a sub player while amsalem is still technically on the main roster.

hAdji holds dual citizenship so there are technically 2 eligible Asian players on the roster. Of course I still think they should be disqualified.

True, but as stated by the other comments Africa is included in the Asian qualifier, which is where my brain incorrectly went.

disqualified for breaking which rule exactly??

2024-10-17 17:39

1 reply

Eh, they haven't broken any rules and it's unfortunately to late in the game to do anything about it now. If Valve was going to keep the RMR system I would advocate for a rule change that requires teams to keep an eligible roster. However. if teams are going to be directly invited by rankings instead, it will matter much less.

No one is abusing any rules. If the rule is that your desk must be longer than 200cm, and your desk is 200cm, then you're not abusing any rules.

They are certainly using the fact that he was correctly registered as a stand-in to make this happen, but it's my opinion that subbing him for one of the 3 eligible players should make the roster ineligible.

As far as I am aware, the rules allow them to sub a player out for any reason, but in my opinion the roster should have to still meet the eligibility requirements for their region after subbing out a player. In other words, if they wanted to sub one of their core players out, they should have registered a player that is always eligible to play in the Asian RMRs.

You can check their tournament history, they exclusevely play in asian tournaments and qualifiers (huh, I guess that's false now since they tried to play one CCT qualifier, actually, but before that it perfectly stands) Idk, google and see where Khabarovsk or Vladivostok are and tell me if you think it's plausible to play with EU from there. And while you are at it, try to guess the ping to EU servers from there.

2024-10-16 20:19

"so Eu players can play in asia, but siberian players cant play in eu" I really dont understand ur point here. What do you mean eu players are allowed to play in asia? No, they aren't. Gr (the east russian team) have always been playing against asian teams in asia. So they count has an asian team where as a team like spirit doesn't. Did you know that the majority of russia is considered to be part of asia? "Why no hate for teams doing the same". Probably because they dont have a 4/5 eu majority. Even tho Its unfortunate what happened with amsalem.

I don't think there is anything unfortunate about this amsalem dude. Think about that, if they really managed to qualify for the major he will get the sticker money cause sener1 is just a sub, and if they lose he won't suffer any losses since the team will definitely disband after the major anyway. He and the team have plenty of reasons to plan this whole thing.

Saw it coming since they announced the sub. This is kind of messed up even if what the player said is true and he wasnt feeling comfortable. I mean i was ok with them playing the asia rmr due to hadji dual citizenship, they still had 2-2-1, however now they are majority EU, there should be some rules for subs too tbh. I also think it can be possible(since by right the signature of the player listed is in the game, not the sub), that the team and the player agreed to take this approach to just boost their chances. Ill be fine getting even 50% of the money (lets say he 50/50 with seneri) rather than not wualfying at all

Actually no, it's not allowed to have 2 subs, they would be forced to forfeit. So, ah, I guess they should be careful with chinese cuisine and streetfood in case their stomachs not used it?

im a drillas fan but I lowkey dont see how they can still play in the Asia RMR now

2024-10-16 20:16

scamPixel cheating the rules

2024-10-16 20:23

not asia team at all now

2024-10-16 20:36

Very sad abuse of the asian rmr system. If they make the major it is a disgrace.

2024-10-16 20:38

they should get dqed no? Literally 4 europeans, I get hadji technically doesn't count but it's still 3 Eu players and only 2 Asia

If Valve actually cared they'd look into this but they already killed RMRs so this will never happen again

Honestly should just DQ them unless SENER1 somehow has a african/asian dual citizenship. tbh I dont even know what is the point of the middle east qualifiers. The teams that make it through there are almost always a couple t2 EU pros with t3 at best randoms or situations like hadji being moroccan. Like a AUS/Chinese team would be far better than these squads made only to try to get stickers (the actual full middle eastern lineups do fuck all and every relevant middle eastern player trying to be pro is already on a t1 or t2 EU team anyways Ex. ISSAA/BOROS in the past, Spinx flamez Xertion etc).

What a good day to not be chronic HLTV geek

2024-10-16 22:15

a nobody being this picky?

2024-10-16 22:27

clown project , clown players and even valve rules are clowning at this point hope this trashies going 0/3 on quals fucking pesaunts doing everything to qualify for sticker money with 0 dignity and respect about other regions and players

2024-10-16 22:44

So who’s the IGL now? Woro or seneri?

2024-10-16 23:14

L move

2024-10-16 23:59

excepted from scampixel

2024-10-17 02:24

ohnepixel has nothing to do with cs2/csgo just a skin whore He is a lvl 1 faceit player, he can barely play the game how he has a following is beyond me

2024-10-17 02:34

I hope The Mongolz, FlyQuest and Rare Atom qualify and teach a lesson that Asia/Oceania is not amateurism

2024-10-17 03:41

This move is very dubious. It's not cheating but it's definitely exploiting the sub rule. If this had been abused at previous majors I'm sure it wouldn't be allowed.

Bruuh the old logo is gone

2024-10-17 07:28

The hltv flag team logo is europe and play in ASIA RMR c'mon man. Valve what are you doing? I know hadji has dual citizenship, it still makes 3 eu players on 1 teams.

2024-10-17 07:36

pls reject the visa

2024-10-17 08:40

RMR rule abuser, same as Loba and friends. I love ohnepixel, but i pray for Drillas teams to not qualified. There should be update rule where you to be part of continent your sub should be counted.

2024-10-17 09:10

WWWWWWWWWW

2024-10-17 09:27

DRILLAZ had an amazing hype, that ruined by this roste change. If they replaced amsalem with an player that is from that region, it would not have this backlash.
