44 disqualified prior to start

23-5-2010 08:44

Russian team 44 have been disqualified from ASUS Spring 2010 even before it all began.

Tournament officials have disqualified the Russian team 44 before the tournament start at 08:30CET. No information stating what led to disqualification has been released yet, tournament officials will release a statement after the tournament.

Ukrainian-side KerchNET are for the record heavily delayed, meaning their matches have been delayed until further noticed. Stay locked to HLTV.org the entire day, as we will be your host for ASUS Spring 2010. You can find our coverage section for the event by clicking here.

2010-05-23 13:04

Haha, like Chinese people know English. Have you ever even visited China?? Ive lived a year in Moscow and i can say for a fact that russians doesnt speak English that well.. Only young people have kinda "started" to learn it, but most of them are really bad at it. THey dont get in contact with English at all there, all movies/tv are dubbed, they have a big music insdustry and a really big country-> Why would they need English. Its the problem with big countries.. They dont really "need" to know another language.

ofc it's not their fault that there's not English at school, maybe now, young ppl from China are able to learn it, but older ppl didnt learn it, so they dont know it, in 10 years or more I'm sure more Chineasse will talk english on communicative level

2010-05-30 11:01

as an english person i can confirm that "i do know" makes sense as a reply to someone implying they don't

2010-05-24 13:04

True, even if they move to another country or live in a country which has different official language, then it means that ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE must learn the Russian language.. it is so in Estonia. In Estonian schools many students whonder why they have to learn Russian, then my teacher told,"if you don't speak Russian, then you may get stabbed in some places"

2010-05-23 13:11

maybe from 15 to 20, cuz they had a little bit English lessions at school, other ppl just dont give a shit about English

2010-05-23 13:29

Half of asia couldnt care less about English, unless they have a strong tourism going on and many foreigners come to their country. Asia's very big, and it has many languages, why would they prioritize learning english when they could instead learn their neighbours' language? And go to France and try speaking English to someone. They KNOW English, but they'll try their hardest to pretend they DONT know it. You go to someone's country, you either talk their language or cant complain. Knowing English is a plus, but its no country's obligation. edit: that being said... english forum = english posts.

2010-05-23 13:41

I would like to know the reason, this is just absurd.

2010-05-23 13:35

At least, Russia is not pushing all the states of the world to speak Russian language, they just love their language and do not care for others. Mentality of the state is such that they simply enjoy their self-sufficiency, and I don't see any problem in that.

2010-05-23 13:49

Any news on why they got DQ'd??

2010-05-25 16:57

The reason why English is the most widely used language in business, and by extension everywhere else, is that its the easiest language to learn. Would be nice to know why they got disqualified before the tournament even started though.
