This is going to be a long wall of text so take a comfortable position before starting to read.

Hello! My name is SPY3R and I am the captain of the finnish team TRK!

Yesterday me and my team signed up for a amateur tournament, FastCup #6039 (http://dota2.starladder.tv/tournament/9367). We were there on time and everything was set for the first game to begin at 19.00 (http://dota2.starladder.tv/match/642252) and so it did. Game was very long and lasted for 70 min + pauses because the opponent team had internet difficulties and according to SLTV rules we had to give them 10 minutes. The game was finished about at 20.15 and the next game was set to begin at 20.00.

Well the next game started at about 20.20 (http://dota2.starladder.tv/match/642261), 20 minutes late, but we were doing like the rules say and you could say that SLTV is responsible for this 20 min delay. This game was quite long too, no pauses this time but the game took 60 minutes.

So now the clock is 21.20, 3rd game was supposed to start at 21.00 (http://dota2.starladder.tv/match/642265). I contact team WJT's captain virteks_1995 on skype. First he started spamming me with russian letters and the continued with: http://imgur.com/9CkonsM. Apparently since we were 20 minutes late due to long games, they got an auto win. We of course protested this on both the match page and the forums.

Now began the waiting.

The protest was on, with team WJT spamming multiple protests on the forums (according to SLTV rules you should get -100 pts for flooding). We waited 2 hours to get justice from the referees so we could continue with our game againts team NEWLW. After trying to contact the SLTV referee and only getting answered in Russian, 3 of us went offline, only with our Mid player Kalle and our Offlaner Eero staying on.

Next morning I come back and check starladder.tv, and what I found out made me furious (http://dota2.starladder.tv/match/642265). The russian referees gave the victory to team WJT without even trying to communicate with us although according to their own rules WJT should've lost points for flooding and adding the wrong result. Instead of that just a clean win for WJT.

TL'DR - We played in the StarLadder Amateur tournament and were disqualified off a match againts a Russian team who were favoured because of their nationality(?)

And this brings me to the final question, and I know nobody cares about me and my team or about some shitty amateur tournaments, but I dont think that a high profile Dota league such as StarLadder can allow racism of Russian referees. Make the StarLadder only for Russians if you hate us foreign people so much.
