They say that rules are made to be broken, but usually they're held for like, we don't know, any amount of time.

Valve told us all that players should 'work to resolve' their conflict of interest cases just seven months ago, but now, MIBR are allowed to play against Yeah, a team with which they have financial ties.

MIBR players and staff had loads of time to divest these interests, and yet, here we are, where ESL only commented that they were looking into a flagrant breaking of the rules Valve set out, FIFTY MINUTES before the game started.

The game went ahead despite Richard Lewis' rightful protestations, but at least we know for sure that FalleN was trying. Yeah, on the other hand, were bunnyhopping at him in a 5v1. Now, we're not suggesting anything, it's just maybe FalleN should be teaching his other team better.

Interestingly (no pun intended), coldzera is also a part-owner of the team, meaning there is a legitimate argument for FaZe to somehow also get in hot water - but so far, nothing has been done.
