Im just starting this thread because it think its a shame to lose a talentfull sc2 player, actually almost never watch his stream, ive maybe watched 10 minutes of one session once, thats it. Neither am i a fan. I just think he deserves better.

I haven't been around when broodwar was being played. I dont know the exact reason why he got banned, but i assume it was cheating, bm etc.

However lately he decided to go full time on sc2 for 5 months (he just quit that period about 1 month ago) anyways in that time he actually achieved alot for just playing 5 months from a huge break from playing.

I believe if was WCS or WCG (not sure) any of those, he got to round of 8 and i believe he was the ONLY foreigner to make it that far, he lost his ro 8 vs Parting 2-1 who then went on to win the whole tournament. He's been trying hard to apologize to the community and hes gotten alot more polite and good mannered.

Im not a huge fan, simply because hes toss and im terran x).

I really think his play is pretty enjoyable since he does cool strategies and funky stuff. at least he used to!

I don't see why teamliquid cant give him another chance? if he starts to bm again just perma ban him? everyone deserves a second chance.

He recently quit sc2 from his 5 month full time play, but he also said if he somehow got unbanned from TL he could start to stream and go full time pro. Thats a dream that many people want, he has the potential to become a really good player.

Even tough he has done bad stuff in the past, thats the past.

This thread might be pointless because after all its teamliquids choice.

I mean what does anyone have to lose by unbanning him?

Your vote: Should CombatEX get unbanned from Teamliquid.net?

(Vote): Yes, he deserves a second chance.
(Vote): No, he deserves to be banned.





If anyone finds a good reason why to not unban him please post it here!

P.S i dont know if this is the right place to post this thread, or if it will do any good. If TL find anything offensive or something like that in this thread just delete it.

-no bm pl0x


I DID NOT CREATE THIS THREAD TO GET HIM UNBANNED, I JUST WANT TO SEE WHAT THE COMMUNITY THINKS ABOUT HIS BAN ETC. I DONT THINK TEAMLIQUID HAS DONE ANYTHING WRONG I WOULD'VE DONE THE SAME, BUT I ALSO THINK HE DESERVES A SECOND CHANCE SINCE HE'S LATELY SEEM TO GET ALOT BETTER BOTH IN HIS PLAY AND MANNERS, I DONT SEE WHAT ANYONE HAS TO LOSE,

I have a feeling that you may get banned just for making this post lol. 30 posts would instantly make me think you are infact CombatEx himself trying to get unbanned ;p

its not gonna happen, there is a reason hes gone and not coming back.
When there is nothing left to lose but your dignity, it is already gone.

Although your point about everyone deserves a second chance is valid, he's had his second chance. And third. etc. (as he himself has said). tbh until he does something really big for the community, i think he should stay banned

Don't know how much you paid attention to WCG if you didn't know that 6 of the final 8 were foreigners.

EDIT: TL usually reacts to this with the same hand motion as Parting at the end of the video.

Well to be honest Kennigit/Hot_Bid have said on numerous occasions that it would take more than a few months or more than one good tournament to get unbanned.

I'm almost certain there are allegations of stealing money from individuals under the pretense of being sick, cheating in bw extensively, even cheating in a LAN in sc2. Though Combatex deny's some of this to differing levels, it's kind of reasonable to ban him.

It's a shame, he looks like he might actually have changed the most horrible sections of his old personality, but i understand/respect/agree with the decision to keep him unbanned until TL can be certain his change this time is genuine and not another random apology followed by detritus.

He would go full time pro? He's not good enough for that. Besides, what does posting on TL have to do with becoming pro? Unless he thinks that having a featured stream is somehow the key to success, which is obviously not.

Im not a huge fan


But then you list all the reasons why you like him and he should be unbanned.

"This post has already been reported. "

You might have a ghost of a chance trying this over in website feedback. In general I doubt it.

If you want people to care about him, have him post some results that matter. Ability to post on TL has nothing to do with winning tournaments.

Combat Ex is an awful person. And are people still bashing incontrol?

Stop posting please.
