I'm more concerned about that rigged map than the whole tournament itself... Why would someone make a map like this ? Even worse, rename it to IEM (sorry if that isn't the case, haven't verified if they really renamed it) ? Reminds me of a map created by a player in order to have a slight advantage over a different race... It was on BW. And it was renamed exactly like some legit ladder map or something.

Hope we won't see another incident like this T___________T

Can someone explain how is this even possible? I mean for referees to host on such map?

This was a completely isolated incident. It was silly, it was a mistake, but it was fixed.

Due to China server, Chinese clients (no English clients here at all t.t), and some unfortunate communication errors, we allowed the game to be hosted by a player who accidentally picked a rigged map.

It won't happen again.

The game was replayed, and all is well.

Please close this thread. Its just inflammatory.

More subtle versions of this would have been to change mana regeneration since they aren't shown. A slight change from 0.565x to 0.60 would be less noticeable (not listed during the game). Sight range could be modified without anyone knowing (not listed during the game). Unit acceleration is also hidden (not listed during the game). Movement speeds are also rounded/doesn't show actual value ( could be increased by 0.001 to 0.009 since 2.805 and 2.809 = 2.81 )

Not the first time Strelok has done something like this. In game one of Slush vs Strelok at EG's masters cup he used blizz's Shattered temple which allowed him to get close spawns against slush. The map was supposed to be MLG shattered temple.

Watch it here: http://sc2casts.com/cast3750-Strelok-vs-SLush-Best-of-3-All-in-1-video-EG-Masters-Cup-Week-1

The game starts at 2:30. You can see the map was supposed to be MLG shattered temple during the commentary beforehand.

It obviously isn't as extreme as the fiasco at IEM, however I lost a lot of respect for Strelok after watching this. Never really liked him since.

Not accusing him of purposely cheating at IEM, but it does seem rather fishy considering what happened at EG Masters Cup.

Even with the English client it is so freaking hard to find the right map. The search function is so bad because it ORs the search keywords rather than ANDs them. Moreover, character names can be used more than once, so what would happen, if someone created rigged maps under the name "GOMTV"? Only Blizzard maps are somewhat distinguishable from the rest.

I like the comfort that maps are hosted by Battle.net. In WC3 you had to make folders for every tournament and download (sometimes just rename) the maps but with the current system something like this was bound to happen sooner or later because it is hard to check the author/rule modifications of the map.
