The draft was fine I thought, but I'm a trench tier pleb.

At that point there should probably be some questions asked about the whole API thing


Interesting question: what does Valve do in that case? Ruru's in tight with ACE and isn't going anywhere in the scene.

That key has supposedly been useless for the past two years or something.

But both sides of these claims have shown nothing to suggest they're right though so I have no idea. I assume Valve know better than us.

Questions from the n00b gallery (me):

- What is API?
- It looks like it's implied somebody might be guilty of misconduct, but I can't figure out what. So can somebody explain?

How is Q as a drafter? He really seems not that on point through the tournament, I feel like.


He definitely outdrafted Liquid and I'm currently failing to remember the drafts vs Newbee.

I quite disliked this last draft, but there was also an element of outplay even outside the fights I think. iG's ults were supposed to find intermittent kills to slow down the Magnus farm and buy time for shaker and void to come online, but they just couldn't find anything at all.
On a purely personal note, I'd like to show Yellow the beauty of infinitely repeating Starcraft 2 bunkers. -Boxer

There were allegations that LGD+LFY's owner had access to an API key that let her watch any game, even if it was private. So she could watch private scrims between any team. Valve never commented on the situation, and it was never verified one way or the other. Icefrog did reply "thanks, we'll look into it" or something similar when initially notified.

we all know valve read reddit all the time, pretty sure if the API key is currently harmful for competitive environment they would already took some actions

I dont think last game's disaster was on the draft. It was just the misplay of blank echo and somehow the entire IG cannot pull themselves together anymore.

Worth noting that this whole API key thing dates back to 2012 or something and from what I remember, it could only access perfect world games.

Ruru has had the key for like 3 years now. Whether it's even been usable for all this time, LGD teams have been pretty bad up until this point. The key is simply not a factor. Being able to see scrims doesn't make you play better and have better execution.

Yeah, from what I heard, ever since Reborn came out, the old keys haven't worked


That's what I've heard too, although I've never seen any evidence beyond people just saying that. My guess is the "Is useless since Reborn came out" thing is accurate, and Valve decided not to pursue punitive action so as to not anger the Chinese team owner cartel ACE.

I guarantee if we get an LGD/LFY final it will be all over Reddit again though

Maybe not but there should be some punishment for that.

still top 6 at TI and DAC champs though. Good results I'd say, enough to warrant keeping the band together.
