so letting a 5v5 turn into a 3v5 because of dcing players is fine
That wasn't what I meant by my post, sorry for the confusion. The spars from during the lag will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis, but I'd imagine many of them won't count.
Rescheduling to next saturday would make things even worse. It was hard enough giving up time to be online this week because of school/college. Postponing it again is annoying and hosting it on Sunday isn't an option since Australians/Japanese needa sleep.
