Except nobody ends up bashed or raped after a Starcraft player exploits the ladder. | ||

Gom is not intervening on choyas pottery or candle making time. The ladder is used to determine prospective gsl players and should be played with integrity by its members. | ||

"Which did you pick?" "Rock." "K, I picked paper then." "gg">f10>n Also, why was he gaining like 20 points per game and only losing like 2? I don't understand. Edit: Nvm, I guess after the Master League change, his rating must have reset, so now he's trying to reach his MMR. PS: The GSL officially uses the ladder for their tournament setup, so abusing the ladder is abusing GSL. Pretty cut and dry. I certainly would not blame him myself though. It's really the least exploity of exploits. It's not like that'll get him anywhere. The only problem is that, if he only did it with certain people, it could get THEM higher (he's already code S, but people he gives free points to might get high enough for Code B). Really curious how you possible play RPS on SC2 though, rofl. | ||

look at idra being a pro - laddering with rages is a thing(just like any athletes feel upset or angry during their practices), as he said 'if you are not angry then you dont care enough' ---> we have never seen him misbehave in public games/tourneys at all (sc2 scenes). 'cheating' on ladder as a pro gamer is just purely stupid and most importantly, disgraceful. | ||

The only reason what he's doing can mess things up is that he can give free points to people who aren't high enough for code B yet, by losing to them in RPS. | ||

All they did is change the win condition, I really don't see anything wrong with that, if both players agree, they should be able to agree to any win condition they want. | ||

Edit: And wait, what, Gom threatened to disqualify him if he does it again? What the fuck do they have to do with his ladder rating? A 50/50 win record isn't going to do much to your behind the scenes rating, and it sure as fuck won't affect tournament performance. Gom are fucking retarded at times. | ||

I'd pick RPS too :D The reaction, sadly, is anything but. Might as well ban other pros from random events for trying out new strats on the ladder instead of playing 0815 solid builds which give them the best chances of winning. | ||

Even though you guys think its a minor offense "rock paper scissoring" to win or lose games. its still something that doesnt display a competitive spirit and not a legitimate way to gain a spot in the tourney. Even though you guys say it doesnt give him an advantage and all that bullshit what if it does? then what..should he now be penalized for when it works? =p | ||
