A weird situation was noticed in the ongoing NA DPC 2023 Closed Qualifier. The lower bracket match of Arkosh Gaming. Zakari "ZfreeK" Freedman had been kicked out of the game for about 30 minutes. Throughout the time the organizers had paused the game, despite Team Magnus being against the decision. 

ZfreeK's Steam wouldn't load the game. According to the ruleset, teams are allowed to stay on pause only for 10 minutes, however, after the time was up, the organizers did not start the match intentionally. This was viewed as an unfair decision by Arkosh players and coach. 

After ZfreeK's return Arkosh were able to defeat the opponent, drawing it and then winning on the third map. As a result Team Magnus is eliminated from the tournament. Today was the last day at DPC NA Closed qualifer 2023. Only 2 teams have the chance now to play in the second division from the competing 8.
