I can understand now why you get that feeling but if that decision is based on what we typed in game it's taking our words way out of context, we believed you could play with someone 2 divs above, when they then say "Swi can't play scout since he played prem" we, at least I, took that as a "Swi isn't allowed to play because he was in prem" (which is why I in all caps also write about it being 2/2 points, I was wrong in this case about the rule but it wasn't like we planned to get carried and we would rather have played with mid medic mercs, but they got denied.) we were still very focused on the fact that they told us in steam chat that "we're denying all your mercs because you didn't wanna reschedule" (mind you that no default date was set and we agreed to play on one of their days that they had offered us to choose from)
the "try to default" comment was a passive aggressive thing I said since I consider forcing a team to play 5v6 is default hunting.

I didn't think we'd be getting a warning in the first place but later on when I reread the rule realized that it would've been a minor warning, at this point I had already agreed to switch to scout.
The point still stands though that they continued playing when given the option to restart if they felt it was unfair.

No, experienced players only give minor warnings. We had no warnings prior and wouldn't be impacted by one, there was no indication that it would be defaulted since I have never seen it happen before, and I've been around since 2014.

This legit doesn't make sense since teams that have won with higher experienced players in other matches have ONLY gotten minor warnings, never did the losing team get default wins or options to replay.

The situation isn't "which team was more in the wrong" but rather that admins are unreliable and inconsistent.

LR are aware that Swi is going to play scout, never at any point during the game do they talk to admins or want to pause, they manage to even the scores and force a golden cap.
They contact admins and get told that "Restarting the map with Swi on med would be more fair, unless you don't feel the need to."
I contact admin and ask about the rule and ask if we will get a minor warning if we just continue playing with Swi on scout, I get the response "No, it'll be a default, I can allow Swi to play medic for the rest of the game but that's it"
LR switch to golden cap config and I switch to scout and Swi goes medic, we both ready up. This means that they did not feel a need to restart the game.
We switch to snakewater and we manage to win that map as well, giving us 5 points and them 1, we had 21 and they had 24 before this match, making it so we get into playoffs instead of them.
They complain to admins and manage to get granary defaulted, making them get into playoffs.

Had we known that we would get defaulted regardless of me going scout in golden cap we would have obviously picked to restart, but the decision was theirs to make and they did not feel the need to restart.

The excuse that it was a playoffs deciding match should not matter for any game in the top tables as all the games are fixed. They all matter equally towards getting into playoffs.

If admins hadn't decided on the spot to judge the game differently we'd have gotten a minor warning and that's it. No point penalty. Yeah it might be a dick move to willingly get a minor warning to secure playoffs but so is denying all mercs.

They contacted admins AFTER the map as well, they got permission to replay map or play golden cap and later on after both maps had been played got permission to take default apparently? Why didn't they just force us to replay the map? All admins told me was to play scout or get defaulted

The merc rules needs a change when it comes to 6s as there is nothing preventing people from denying all mercs, not even their social status as everyone can blame someone else who was on the team at the time and people won't bother more than that. ETF2L isn't big enough to warrant every team having substitute players and being forced to play 5v6 is super lame.

As for the official I find it a bit annoying that they were given an option to restart the granary map when we tied and had to play golden cap, I was told to play scout at this point which I did and we won. Only then do they take a default win. We were never given the option to replay the map.

It's very possible to do a rematch if it's done before Wednesday 21:15 as that is when Team Lithuanian Rhapsody have their first round of playoffs against Team goonsquad.
Alternatively it can be done any time during the week if that official gets rescheduled to a later date, might be an issue for Team Lithuanian Rhapsody considering the times they offered us that we could choose from due to their team having highlander players who are equally as dedicated to highlander as they are to 6s.

The rule is worded strangely in my opinion, I'm no linguistic professor but limit being 2 sounds like you have up to 2 points to me at least, but in this case means you in fact only have 1 point.

i was talking about people who posted it on twitter, i saw h3h3 and ben shapiro do it

seen some twitter folks say "don't talk about it, he just wants fame and glory and doesn't deserve it" and while yeah that's why some folks tend to go out by shooting shit up, when it's politically driven like this one it's pretty important to remember shit some ideologies can make you believe and even go as far as to act on it
it's like saying "forget about the holocaust, nazis only wanted attention"
