Today, the Copenhagen Wolves have forfeited their match against ROCCAT resulting in a win for ROCCAT.

Facts

Copenhagen Wolves are unable to field a full team due to player illness. While the Copenhagen Wolves have substitutes on their roster, they did not have an eligible substitute available to start in today's match. Without being able to field a team of 5 players, Copenhagen Wolves must forfeit their match. Their substitute is eligible to play starting Friday 13th June, 2014.

Relevant Rules

3.3 Roster Submission At a time designated by LCS officials before the start of each split, each team must submit their roster to the LCS, including five starters and at least two reserves. Teams must submit an Eligibility Form and Summary Sheet for each starter at that time. In the event that a team selects to modify the starting lineup, the team’s GM must submit a request to revise the roster to LCS in compliance with Section 4 below. The request must be submitted in advance of any proposed effective date of any such change, at the earliest possible date and time. If a request is submitted too late for LCS to make reasonable arrangements for a new player to travel to an LCS match, LCS may, at their discretion, hold the team responsible for the incremental costs of such player’s travel, regardless of any other rules to the contrary. LCS reserves the right to approve or deny any such request, based upon the eligibility of the players involved and the compliance with the Rules of such request. Requests to modify a starting lineup for the team’s first match on a given day may not be submitted any later than 11:59pm PST prior to the start of that broadcast and/or webcast. 4.1.5 Summary Sheet Any substitution that would result in a team designating a Player as a Starter who has not held that position previously must be accompanied by the submission of a Summary Sheet and Eligibility Form (if one of each is not already on file for the current competitive season) before said Player is considered eligible to play.

Official Ruling

Copenhagen Wolves forfeit their match against ROCCAT on 12th June, 2014.

MY FANTASY POINTS? item 3070

Why are 90% of the comments people crying about their fantasy teams? How about we take a minute to say 'get well soon' to the sick CW player(s)? Honestly guys, we all like fantasy eSports but that shouldn't be our first priority for news about anything in the LCS.

Can we have an official statement concerning Fantasy LCS points ? That's pretty devastating for people who have CW and/or Roccat players on their line-up !

Are there idiots who have CW or Roccat on their team? item 3151

CW may not be winning matches but they are putting up decent numbers. Airwaks is 7th out of 16 junglers and woolite is 8th out of 16 adc's

this is not fair as you should have announced it earlier now fantasy kinda fails

KimTheNukeJongUnJun 12, 20145 votes

It's kind of hard to announce something when they didn't know ahead of time that the player couldn't compete. But hey, that's just how Fantasy sports go.

DaBllangJun 12, 20142 votes

They announced it as soon as they knew themselves. Plus, they talked about it in the preview show and told everyone that if you had any ROCCAT or CW players on your team you might wanted to bench them ASAP

Orgs need to get more organized if they want to be taken seriously...

Why is anyone even using CW or ROC players on their fantasy team at this point?

LajinJun 12, 20142 votes

Well if you look t woolites points last 2 weks it's over 50 points o i would love to have on my team but i got Mr Ralezz and Vasili which i pu hgher

ChampStatus344Jun 12, 20142 votes

Cowtard and Woolite are decent, but if you're absolutely relying on ANYBODY from CW or ROC for your wins, you're gonna have a bad time. Best wishes for Cowtard though, hope he's gonna be alright.

If you have CW players on your roster, unfortunately, that's how fantasy sports goes. You just have to eat this one and hopefully your other players can carry your team this week ;)

MaricusJun 12, 20141 votes

Actually, in any other fantasy "sport" you are allowed to make changes from your bench up to 1 hour before the game. If this happened in NFL i could swap the guy out.

CrippleSTXJun 12, 20141 votes

Players are "game time decisions" all the time in football and baseball. It's the risk you run if you decide to start them. You shouldn't get any points if you started a CW or ROC player. That's the way fantasy sports works.

ZuNuRJun 13, 20143 votes

that's a fucking shitty rule. maybe that's how it works, but it's not how it SHOULD work. players should get a compensation for that, e.g. the estimated points or a point average or something like that. or auto sub the first guy of your bench regardless of role or SOMETHING, but it's retarded how it is. "hey you started cw, they ff because sickness, fuck you and your fantasy team, jajajajaja" -Riot 2014

pyroHedgeJun 12, 20143 votes

Anyone else question this rule? The requirement is to receive notification more or less by midnight the night before a match. Someone easily could think they'd be fine heading into the next day and then wake up and discover that not to be true. Why can't transportation be transferable to a substitute? Or why couldn't a team provide its own transportation to allow itself a last-minute substitution, if necessary? I feel like I'm missing something significant on Riot's side for them to be so restrictive.

KimTheNukeJongUnJun 12, 20142 votes

If a player gets subbed out at the last minute without other teams knowing several hours beforehand, that denies their opponents from preparing properly for the change of roster. Their picks/bans and strategy can change depending on the new player's playstyle.

So what about fantasy? If i would have known i would have subbed out people

K RIDE5Jun 12, 20142 votes

why in the hell are you starting anyone from cw or roc in the first place? sounds to me like your team was fucked in the first place. Kappa.
