Lol. If everyone who had no experience not run any tournaments, who do you think will run tournaments? You think every person who picked it up and made one happen started off with experience? Stop being such a child.

BTW. You have not seen the "worse" tournament ever. I doubt you've been around long enough for that.

While it is important that an organizing team attempts to ban "pro" teams from joining, it is a sad and horrible truth that there will be players who will attempt to join, even when they are banned. This is highly due to the infrastructure in place (or lack of thereof) to support player banning/team banning. While we can say its an amateur tournament, what qualifies as "amateur" is still highly debatable at this point as organizing teams do not share data between each tournament. So, take what you get, face the challenges as they come and turn out as the better player/team. That is how you win. That is a victory no one can take away from you.

So stop whining and win the next tournament.

16 teams group stage + single elimination isn't a mini tournament. The reasoning for this format is to allow the teams to gain as much experience from their matches as possible. Considering the timeline, this isn't a mini tournament.

Amateur tournaments are aimed at teams that want to improve without too much difference in skill levels, in normal cases teams that have won titles are banned. If one person can strike so much fear in you and your team that you need to complain and rage in the forums, it is likely you won't get further than this.

Again, while the organizing team does their best to not allow teams to cheat, it is common that players will still try. Also, I AM reading the facts.

"We will only allow ONE(1) Pro/Sponsored player in each team. More than that will not be accepted." as stated in the Rules and Regulations that you agreed upon when entering the tournament.

I rest my case. You're a whiner, SIR.

Also...

Terms and Condition
All rules are subject to change at any time by KDU GC Marshalls and Referees with or without notice to participants. The decisions made by Marshalls and Referees are final and is not disputable. Failure to acknowledge decisions made by Marshalls and Referees can lead to disqualification. Each team is given a 15 min timer to set their things straight. Failure to start a match and delaying the opposing team can lead to team disqualification.

While it may seem like its targeted at you, do remember rules made are a blanket ruling. It's not personal. So take some time off to cool down and join the next tournament you find. Geez.

This is an unfortunate by-product of mismanaged communities. This started from DOTA, moved to HON and LOL, very apparent in Malaysia. While I've spent many years trying to fix that, the mismanagement of communities continuously breeds new "ggfied" players and they breed so much faster then well behaved highly skilled players.

Gone were the days where we bullied each other in game but walked away friends from tournaments. We swore and we raged but at the end of the day, we stood by and gave our opponents a good handshake and said "good game, well played" and grabbed a drink together. Taunting was part of the fun, fun which is missing in todays e-sports. Many years ago our vets declared the Malaysian scene horribly immature and to this day, i agree with them that it still is.
