Controversy in Esports

Sometimes, the decisions made by tournament holders can be seen as controversial.  Recently in the WCG qualifiers  team Dignitas pulled some fishy maneuvers, which led to much speculation on whether or not they should advance.  The controversy is mostly surrounding the player Jatt.  At first, he competed on a Canadian team that was eliminated, after which he used his double citizenship to fight with Dignitas on the US side.  It is against the rules to be on two teams at once, so WCG eliminated the Canadian team, which had already lost.  Dginitas went on to win and go to Korea for the finals.  I think that the whole thing was really shady, including rule changes mid tournament.  I think that CDE should be allowed to go to Korea and compete, even if it means both teams going, I think it would be more fair.
