Faceit has a roster lock rule of not allowing three stand-ins in the team. However, as one of the teams was unable to attend due to visa problems, FaceIT has decided to allow an exception to the team. This is quite uncharacteristic, especially as another team, led by Impression was ready to attend the Minor if the need arises. This would have kept the competition fair with a proper format and a balanced competition.
securing a Visa to the United Kingdom is very difficult, so we've put out the option of us coming in if necessary to maintain the integrity of fair play and competition for a tournament as prestigious as a Minor that is the stepping stone to the majors,

FACEIT decides to break the rule and allow a team to field THREE stand-ins, essentially not having the core of at least 3 players from the qualifying team which has already sparked much controversy in the past. So yeah, I dont understand nor like it either @OfficialBleh @Tgwri1s
