Testie:
"Ringing has become so commonplace among the competitive scene that I don't think it has been seen as a bad thing anymore by most competitive players. As the ringer in question is seen as lending a helping hand to a team that needs to make a scheduled match or has an issue, thus saving them and doing a favor. Since most teams have been in this situation, it is not frowned upon as much as it should be. This does not excuse the fact, but it is just information for the public on how it is viewed among teams. This does not speak for all teams, but most to my knowledge.

However, in reality it is a cancer to the legitimacy of tournaments and it should be punished and is best to get rid of it entirely. It is something future tournaments may want to continue looking out for. Tourney admins should be able to have the vent info and check up on players from time to time and be more aware of telltale signs, such as ping to certain servers or odd hero choices. Though the latter is definitely nothing to go by and shouldn't be acted on unless other evidence is there.

Long story short, regardless of who's idea on the team it was to use a ringer, we are all to blame for being too stupid or short sighted to not try for another approach such as asking the admins if we can reschedule. To everyone, it will not happen again.

It is my hope that this situation makes tourney admins wiser and helps to keep future tournaments legitimate as I personally dislike the use of ringers. Overall, I'm glad this happened as it would be a great improvement in the competitive scene if this is something tournaments would seek out and punish more actively."

They broke the rules and were disqualified from the tournament. Move on.
