Alright, after great consideration to the thoughts given by those judges who chose to respond to my call, we all have come to the consensus that Matthew's usage of Fields of punishment was reckless and put Nina's life in mortal danger, a spell that is already compared to a weapon of mass destruction used while in a state of heightened power through the usage of Dragon's rage which would certainly increase its destructive power. While I as well as the other judges had faith in Nina's ability to counter or otherwise block the attack, said attack should have been stopped the moment he saw the cracks in the protective barrier begin to crack as it was no longer Nina who was in danger but the crowd and other guild members it was needlessly reckless. However, all things considered, the crowd remained safe and Nina was able to counter the attack without suffering mortal wounds as a result of reckless behavior on Matthew's part, placing winning over his moral obligation to the Alliance and those within it. Which is why, rather than simply disqualifying Matthew, I have chosen to consider this match a draw and each team to be rewarded 7.5 points. My reasoning for this being that another reckless stunt was pulled during the final battle of the last gmg which did not end in a disqualification due to the fact that the attack was able to be countered and ultimately nullified. While the team who caused this reckless stunt was still given victory over the battle, I do believe that it was a bit controversial which is why I came to the decision to call this fight a draw. If there are any questions or concerns over this ruling, please do not hesitate to voice them but unless a great sum of evidence as to why my ruling is unfair is brought up, I intend to stick to it. Goodluck in the next round of the gmg and make sure to have fun. BDS, do keep in mind that your opponents are only your opponents for this single fight, please try to avoid such reckless actions in the future as repeated offenses will likely receive harsher punishments.
