We owe you an important update regarding the recent disqualification of the American Goons. Upon receiving new information, we have thoroughly reassessed our initial verdict and have ultimately chosen to overturn the decision previously made.
Our commitment to fairness and transparency led us to carefully reconsider the situation. After a comprehensive review, we believe it is in the best interest of the competition to reverse the disqualification.
As a result, the American Goons will be reinstated, and their position in the tournament will be fully restored. They will have an opportunity to continue their journey and continue their quest for victory.
PGL's reversal came after carefully reviewing new information and considering the best interests of fairness and transparency. The North American Dota 2 community, along with notable figures such as Kurtis «Aui_2000» Ling, Peter «ppd» Dager, David «MoonMeander» Tan, Quinn «Quinn» Callahan, and others, supported American Goons and voiced their concerns over PGL's initial ruling. Even their rivals, GRIN Esports, expressed solidarity with Goons.
The manager of American Goons shared a comprehensive statement on Reddit, shedding light on the situation, which may have played a decisive role in PGL's reconsideration.
