During the live auction for MPL X, lax messaged me on PS! that he would cancer the tournament and subsequently agree to take a tourban after being told it'd be for two years. As this is not his first offense in Monotype, and he only brought this up after he was drafted despite having been watching the auction prior to that, he will be banned from participating in team tournaments in Monotype for two years as well as receiving an infraction for unsportsmanlike conduct. The Braves were refunded during the auction for his purchase as a result.
Re: Auction results
The auction has concluded and the results can be found below!
The Hearthome Honchkrows have decided to sell back Lime. As this is prior to the beginning of Week 1 and we do not feature a midseason auction, they are eligible for an immediate replacement and have chosen roxie, who will be credited as a 3k purchase.
Havens was subbed into a SV slot to play feen, but Havens is tier-locked out of SV for the duration of the regular season. The match was unfortunately started at about the same time I was able to alert the Tinkatons of this, so the match is declared a forfeit loss to the Tinkatons due to the ineligibility of their player for the tier and therefore counts as a win for feen and the Meloettas.
Re: Vodoom
Vodoom will be banned from MPL X due to unsportsmanlike behavior in their team Discord, where he's directed repeated negative and offensive comments at a teammate, clearly in violation of general tournament rules and guidelines. As this is not his first instance displaying behavior like this in Monotype team tournaments, his removal from MPL X will be coupled with a repeated offense infraction and a 1-year team tournament ban in Monotype, meaning he will be ineligible to participate in any Monotype team tournament until after MPL XI.
The Tinkatons will have 48 hours to choose a replacement player from the undrafted pool.
