re: ox04, Garay oak vs Highlord

During Garay oak vs Highlord, ox04 made a suggestion in battle chat at a crucial turn of the match on how his teammate should proceed. This violates the tournament rules against ghosting:

Ghosting: Ghosting is defined as giving any piece of advice to someone playing a game. Any form of direct advice is considered ghosting.

As a result, ox04 will be removed from UWC II and given an Unsportsmanlike Conduct infraction. Team Europe will not be allowed a replacement player. After consulting with a TD, the game will stand.

re: ox04, Garay oak vs Highlord 2

After an appeal from Team Europe and discussion both amongst the host team and with a TD, ox04's ban from UWC II will be lifted and they will be able to participate in the rest of the tournament. Their Unsportsmanlike Conduct infraction will stand.

re: Exiline

Exiline has had low activity in Team France's Discord server for the entirety of UWC II, including zero lines in his own prep channel. Additionally, he has displayed disparaging behavior towards his teammates. For these reasons, Team France has elected to remove him from their team. They have chosen VyoletRayn as a replacement player.
