If it isn't taken care of, this will have massive implications on the rankings and selections.

This is akin to the score to a match being 100-0 and then the match being recorded as a tie.

For those interested, a precedent would be GSR in 2009 when they actually changed the rankings AFTER alliance selections and then completely redid alliance selections after reranking the teams. This is the latest rankings have been changed in a tournament, I believe.
Hmmmm. While it does sound like something should be done about that, there are two issues I see:

1. We need to bring this to someone's attention, someone with the power to correct it
2. We need to prove that it happened

I think the problem is that nobody knows who to talk to, and nobody knows if any concrete evidence (pictures, videos, etc.) exist at the moment. I'm not sure how anyone would go about either of those. Any thoughts?
