In today's Shanghai Major Asia RMR, DRILLAS was eliminated by FlyQuest.
From the first day of participating in the Asia RMR, DRILLAS has been embroiled in controversy. This is because they have three European players on their team, yet brazenly participated in the Asia RMR, provoking community backlash.
After DRILLAS was eliminated, some DRILLAS players and other community members also expressed their views.
ohnePixel ( DRILLAS coach post-match interview): Rules are rules, and the rules haven't changed. We are just following the rules. Players must bear their own expenses, and if they have the opportunity to make it to the Major, they will definitely seize it. Ignoring an opportunity is a foolish act. I'm curious why more teams don't do this. Maybe it's because of the community backlash, but the fact is what it is. I said fuck it.
On social media, ohnePixel wrote: GG, good luck to the teams that haven't been eliminated yet.
I feel bad for the players, and I have nothing else to say.
hAdji (player): No DRILLAS stickers this time, sorry guys. It's been a crazy journey, thank you all for your love and support. Huge thanks to ohnePixel for giving us this opportunity.
Woro2k (player): End.
Lobanjica : DRILLAS , don't worry, there will be opportunities next year, just bring 5 European players to participate in the Asia RMR next time.
Valve will allow this, you know if they can make money from Ohne (note: DRILLAS coach ohnePixel is a top foreign influencer), they don't really care about the rules or cheating.
Richard Lewis: I'm glad this " DRILLAS " farce is over. It's really bad that streamers want to make money by showing up in the game and exploiting the rules of the world championship. I hope the loophole that led to this farce can be closed in the future.
innersh1ne: I'm glad DRILLAS didn't make it to the Major.
This is a bit regrettable for kvem , but those who abuse the rules must be punished.
It's clear that Valve/the Shanghai Major organizers overlooked this situation (I hope this loophole will be closed in the future), but that's not an excuse for acting this way this time.
Let me remind you that DRILLAS originally had a spot in Asia because there were two Israelis on the team, and hAdji has dual nationality (France and Morocco).
They later used Seneri as a substitute and participated in the Asia RMR with 3 Europeans + hAdji and 1 Israeli.

FlyQuest can move forward, they are just one step away from qualifying for the Major!
Mauisnake : I say DRILLAS deserves another chance, of course with another European player.

Complexity team manager): Thank God, justice has been served.
Heroic : I can't take this anymore.
NAVI: GGs DRILLAS .
AXEL (foreign media editor): Dude, why do people defend DRILLAS when you point out their exploitation of the rules with "we hate the game, not the players," but when there are bugs in the game, everyone wants to ban those who exploit the bugs?
G2: o7 (roughly means salute)
Hac1: I won't forgive TheMongolz for being so lucky to face DRILLAS , preventing them from making it to the Major.
Complexity team manager): Thank God, justice has been served.
