Today, Iron Squid regrettably informs you that the Stephano versus MMA encounter of Pool C will not be played.
Due to scheduling issues, Ilyes "Stephano" Satouri was unable to fulfill its commitment as a contestant of Iron Squid. Stephano did not play his last pool match versus SlayerSMMA within the original deadline or during the numerous time extensions that were given to him so he could find an arrangement with Team SlayerS' manager and Iron Squid's tournament managers. We wish to compliment SlayerS' manager, SlayerSCella, as well as Moon Sung Won "SlayerSMMA" on their patience, comprehension and overall professionalism exhibited during this time.
We have therefore decided to forfeit Ilyes "Stephano" Satouri of the Team Millenium in his Pool C match against Moon Sung Won "SlayersMMA" and to consequently declare MMA winner of the BO3 with a map score of 2-0.
It saddens us that we are not able to offer our viewers the aforementioned match featuring Stephano vs MMA during our Wednesday, April 4 show. We hope that Stephano and his staff will regain the professionalism to which Team Millenium has accustomed us to. Let us nevertheless wish good luck to the four remaining players in Pool C still competing for the top two spots and access to Iron Squid's quarter finals: NexLife, MouzMana, SlayerSMMA and NHSJjakji.
Sincerely,
Fabian Garcia
General Manager
