What really causes confusion is that Rus_Brain seems to state that as long as Favorit could prove he's a Russian by providing a passport, he would be eligble to play in the tournament. Even if Favorit got kicked out of the tournament for not having presented it in time, it could still be debated whether or not he should be able to challenge the winner of the tournament granted he showed a passport before the games take place.
All discussions about being a hacker, a noob, how we preceive Favorit's nationality etc. is honestly irrelevant compared to that.
Either he's banned for not being Russian, which seems to have been the first argument. Or he's banned because of the Jeez Weekly incident still being enforced. Or that he's been a hacker, for that matter.
But unless Rus_Brain clears this up properly (maybe with the help of Gecko/Jealous, in order to communicate it better), all we have are speculations and a discussion that has gone too far.

No, I consider hacking a serious offense.
My point is that he wouldn't have been allowed in the tournament if he was living on the Red Square. Rightly so, but then why bring all the nationalty/region stuff into it? It's irrelevant as he's not allowed in the tournament because he has a history of hacking and, apparently, has behaved poorly recently. Which is completely fine.

Sec I
is Russia his region or EU? Any single one he chooses, provided that he is eligible by nationality. So far the only reference to Favorit's "Russian citizenship" is his account @ TL (which I could have created stating somewhat Nauru citizenship). All other references indicate he is either German or Swedish. The only known proof of citizenship known to me is a passport copy.
I have told Favorit that revealing the passport will activate a conundrum created by himself back in February when he objected to reveal his personal information under the GDPR. The loophole is, either he provides the passport copy to prove his citizenship now, confirming he lied back then. Or he lies he is Russian now, by proving nothing. So I offered to just step aside. To the contary Favorit decided to register and play in RU quali covered by Russian VPN or whatever deluding Yoda's basic checks whether battle.net identifies your profile as "RUS".
Sec II
There is a rulebook, written long before this discussion:Sec 5.a. Using any tool to give an unfair advantage over other players is strictly forbidden and may result in cancellation of everything due to you There are people here trying to "interpret" the rules, or object to Testie, or Selector past reputation. Although I can see neither Testie nor Selector taking part in this tournament, for such people I have simplified the reason for Favorit's ban to be just personal, which was much easily accepted.
Let me reiterateEither he's banned for not being Russian, which seems to have been the first argument. Or he's banned because of the Jeez Weekly incident still being enforced. Or that he's been a hacker, for that matter. All fit. Choose any which is easier for your understanding.

Because thats the question that was raised. It's a two-step checking process basically. If he isn't eligible in the first place for the russian qualifier, there is no need to even check if he COULD play given his history. And i commented solely on the nationality question because thats the matter i can say something about with confidence.

It baffles me, but if it is like that, then it's completely innocent.
My suggestion is that the two-step process should operate with checking for offenses first. The community is not that big, people usually have reputations.

Favorit on the other hand is banned for life if caught hacking 2008?
There are numerous former players who got caught hacking in their early ages and still got to keep competing for years and years without the community organizers having anything against it, for example, Testie

Well guess what, Testie, Trek, Selector, all known hackers, have participated in gaming events all over the world, even after getting caught hacking. Testie even got invited to Korea.
And guess what, at least Testie and Selector (and several others) misused the trust others put in them with a second chance and hacked several times again after it. So why don't we learn anything from the past and just ban ex-hackers from competing once and for all? And no, it being "unfair", is not a legit reason. No one is preventing ex-hackers from playing the game at all, but they should be banned from competing. Especially considering that it is just a video game and you can just step away from it, without any real life implications. There has never come anything good from letting hackers back into the competetive scene.

This is wrong assumption. His profile considered Russian because it was created in Russia. Battle.net doesn't change your location immediately and I even have a feeling that it never changes location.
From what I know, kogeT lives in Denmark, but battle.net still shows POL for him. Jerry lives in UK but has KOR location. I can remember a lot of examples.

I logged in my 2nd account(russian gave me one as a present on remaster release date) and it shows my location is RUS.

My point is that Favorit didn't do it on purpose. It's just how battle.net works.
You wrote in your statement that "Favorit tried to deceive Yoda into belief his participation was well approved."
And if he did it by only having RUS location in his profile, than this point is misguided. Maybe he did something else, I don't know. But right after your post Favorit replied that he had your approval in the form of "it's up to you to decide" statement.
Anyway, I agree that this situation had to be resolved univocally before qualifier started.
