RE: Kingler
Kingler joined the Team Asia Discord, but was subsequently inactive for nearly 2 weeks. Zarif and Izaya approached him about playing Week 2 and he promptly refused, saying that he "wasn't playing anything." The
Monotype Commencement Thread states that players should "Only sign up for what you are
willing and able to play the entirety of the event." In this case, we have a player who is not willing to play.
Kingler will be removed from the tournament, banned from participating in Monotype WCOP III and infracted for not being willing to play for his team and not maintaining an acceptable level of activity.
Team Asia will be granted a pickup and will use it on
pj. Since the pickup is being made during Week 2, pj is eligible to play Week 3. This is established by precedents from
MPL VI and
MWP III.
