The participants in the Defiler Tours have way more games than other foreigners that may have just played in Gambit Cup or ICC-CL. Scan, Sziky, eOnzErg, and TerrOr have all consistently been active in the Defiler Tournaments, hence the large number of total games that they have accumulated. In my opinion, Scan should not be banned from foreign tournaments, but is being punished unfairly, and without tangible evidence.

Excluding him might have been a huge bias for the ranking, disregarding of what algorithm would have been used. If Scan would indeed heavily abuse in a new tournament series (e.g. using hacks) or did other violations (e.g. scamming people over for money), we would exclude him from the presentation.
However, the ranking and what it shows has nothing to do with each organizer's policy towards black lists and what not and we will not interfere with this (and don't want to, because it would be silly). As long as one player, in this case Scan, shows up for the important tournaments, he will always be in the data base.

- BWMN Open - SBWI Nation Wars - DT47 + Mini Series 1/2
Also, the ranking has been cleaned of inactive 1on1 players - Scan, dOTY, Pro7ect and a few others are out. And we have a new #1: :eon:
I am out because ?....
You did not play in one of the events as 1on1 player - I thought not taking you out since you were in the 2on2 line up during nation wars. But eventually, for the sake of having the most recent scores and to keep the overview, you're out of the visible ranking, your points didn't change though (means you're still in the data base). The second you play a game as 1on1 player, you're in again. That's also being explained in the full article (which is linked in the news) when and why a player is removed.
Edit: you can compare your rank in the current ranking from the sheet and the archive in the article with the list now - no harm done, no personal feelings involved
