NiP - Anonymo will be replayed
/The Polish organization Anonymo posted on Twitter an official clarification of the situation surrounding the match with NiP. Let us remind you that the match, which took place on May 14, ended in favor of the Polish team with a score of 2: 1. However, already in the course of the match, NiP players began to complain about technical problems with the server, which they attributed their defeat to.
We are currently under pressure from both NIP and FLASHPOINT to replay the match. In the first timeout, we offered to postpone the match as soon as we found out about the technical problems of the NIP - they did not want to do it.
We won the match, which ended honestly and remained in the past. It is definitely too late to rerun the match. We learned about a possible replay date less than 24 hours before it started, during a match in the Polish championship. We don't even have time to properly react, let alone prepare for the match. We are forced to play BO1 today or BO3 on Tuesday. This is ridiculous.
We got the impression that FACEIT is under pressure from the NIP at the business level.
In a statement from FLASHPOINT, NiP filed a request on Saturday to replay the entire match or the final map, claiming that the server was not the team's fault. The technical glitches reportedly "compromised the integrity of the competition and the outcome of the game."
After reviewing the documentation provided by the Swedish team and conducting an "extended sequence of tests, configurations and analysis", the organizers concluded that the problem was caused by "some security settings on the server that partially blocked traffic from the NIP."
At the moment it is known that the match will be replayed today, May 16. It is noted that the NiP - HYENAS meeting has been postponed to a later date. However, it is still unclear whether the entire series will be replayed or only the final map - Mirage.
