Welp, so much for that. According to the Lock Poker twitter account, Merge won't let them run it.

You would think Lock would run this by Merge first.

We are sad to announce that Merge has officially cancelled LOCKOPS and revoked previous approval given to Lock to run the series.

This is their tweet for non-twitter users

As someone else covered here we had permission, the entire thing was run by Merge they were even helping us with setting up the satellite structure and the actual tournament structure.

I personally was getting help from Merge with the tournaments right before I went to bed last night, then by the time I woke up they had forcibly cancelled it.

We are shocked and confused by it but have no choice but to abide by their decision.

Well that sucks. It really looks bad on Merge as a whole imo, but especially sucks for Lock. I'd love to know Merge's reasoning behind cancelling.

Lockops was a great idea given synching with SCOOP.. Other skins complained so merge burns money and a decent shot at gaining some respect in the MTT world...

[ ] Best for the players
[X] Best for a few skins

Really looking forward to an explanation from the merge network about this. Don't know why merge would just revoke this all of a sudden, figuring you would think they would want to try to get some competition with the SCOOP.

This for sure,they want to slow down the Lock monopoly. O/U on when/if Lock opens their own network?

Have you had any discussions with Merge about allowing the series to run, but having it network wide?

If there anyone at Merge players could contact to request such an option?

Is there a Merge rep anywhere on 2+2 that isn't associated with a specific skin? It would be great if he could explain Merge's reasoning here. This is really disappointing.

Not sure.. But the website to the merge network is mergegaming.com they have a contact us tab but just the standard fill out form. No email address ect. Not sure if this would get us any answers.
