Abusing ladder system used for a determination of Code B (top ladder players) is rather bad... But choya is code S than WTF... | ||

What if someone on Europe did this and applied for the spot in the GomTV house. You'd all be freaking out calling him a cheater and abuser. Bottom line is any player should avoid abuse at all times. He may think it's funny but it's hard to make a difference in what motivates a player to do something (funny playing around, or GomTV house qualifier, Blizzcon selection process or Code-B qualifiers). If White-Ra (picking the person least likely to do this!) did this and made it into the GomTV house, then claimed he was just playing around like Choya, who's to say he wasn't? Or what if nobody ever found out, are you allowed to 'play around' and cheat your way into the GomTV house? What if it is used to get into Code B qualifiers? What if it is used to get into Blizzcon (Blizzard picked Huk and Select from the ladder)? Don't let it come to a situation where you need to judge someones motivation on why he abused the ladder. You will never be able to prove it. Now I'm not asking you to think Choya is evil because realistically this is relatively innocent. But don't say who cares or what does ladder even matter, because next time it happens and it does have influence on a bigger event you will have to bite your tongue. And you will realize that the attitude of saying ladder abuse is fine because it doesn't matter is what caused all the larger problems to begin. If Blizzard is smart they give him some sort of penalty to let everyone know this is simply not allowed. If they don't it's giving people permission to do the same in preparation for their Code B qualifiers. I think giving a ton of tournament qualification spots on a flawed ladder system that doesn't work so magnificently isn't the best idea in the first place. Points are getting too inflated already and it doesn't really show any true measure of skill. I was always a fan of the closed ladders used for TSL1 and TSL2 type things. This hidden MMR stuff messes up the ladder to a point where it really shouldn't be used for tournament places. That being said I do agree with you that abuse should be avoided at all times. Doesn't set a good precedent. | ||
