You just cannot compare Savior's matchfixing to what AZK and the rest of ex-ibuypower did. It was definitely bad, but to condemn AZK for the rest of his life, especially after hes permabanned from CS is just dumb | ||

Still pretty bad and I don't see how it's not comparable. 18 months seems like too little time, as well. | ||

Still pretty bad and I don't see how it's not comparable. 18 months seems like too little time, as well. To be fair the earnings werent in money but rather in CS:GO skins, which, even though its bad, it's atleast not as bad as for getting 10000$ in money. One of the reasons i don't like comparing the cases is that Savior was brokering alot of games in Proleague, the biggest and best league in Starcraft at the time, with lots of different players and making the sc-scene a mess pretty much. On the other hand IBP threw one pointless match which didn't have any meaning (kinda like that one Naniwa vs Nestea game) but decided to get some earnings from that (which was a dumb choice for sure) since they didn't get salary or anything and were apparently quite poor. Now im not saying that what IBP did was right, it definitely wasnt and i was against unbanning them for a long time, but i think that they have definitely understood just how bad what they did was and i wouldn't have trouble seeing them play CS:GO again, but since that isnt possible moving onto other games, what they did in the past shouldn't imo hurt them. That's why i dont feel bad about AZK being on this team. I doubt that they would go and throw a game for short term earnings and i think that he and the rest of the team have suffered their punishment. | ||

I doubt that they would go and throw a game for short term earnings and i think that he and the rest of the team have suffered their punishment. I think it's largely a question of how likely a repeat offense is. With someone who's been permabanned from CS:GO, and seen how much shit you get in for matchfixing, I think the chances are QUITE low that he or she would matchfix again. Come to think of it, Savior probably wouldn't matchfix again, but that's neither here nor there. I think the biggest determining factor behind the hatred for and disappointment in Savior is his status as a legend of BW. The guy was one of the greatest SC:BW players of all time, and was getting paid a lot in endorsements, team salary, and winnings. IBP, from the little I know about the situation, was nowhere near the status of Savior in terms of gosu-ness and prestige in the game they played. Savior has no redeeming qualities with regards to his matchfixing. He was winning and winning and winning, and had become a legend in SC, and THEN committed his offense. The let-down just isn't the same for IBP. | ||

Hell no. No. No cheater should allowed second chances. Period. We always considered e-sports as a sport right? She is Lisa Dobriskey. She became 10th in 2012 London Olympics in 1500m womans. After race she told to press her rivals were probably cheating. After 4 years especially after technological improvements against doping and using biological identities as anti-doping system that race became one of the worst races in Olympics ![[image loading]](http://runningmagazine.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Womens-1500.jpg) See.. If those fucking cheaters didn't run that day maybe Lisa won a bronze medal! You will feel different when 9 opponents ahead of you then 3 opponents. (BTW i am a Turk and i am ashamed of these cheaters which come first and runner up. They simply dont have the olympic spirit. Olympics should care about racing, not winning. They don't deserve second chances. Just like Armstrong) Azk's matchfixing feels the same to me. I have a simple question for Nazgul? What do you feel about Lisa? What do you feel about Azk's matchfixing? Yes azk didn't cheat for win. Instead he throw on purpose. But also it doesn't mean he wont cheat again!!! He already showed his lack of ethics. Do you really belive azk is the right guy for TL? For me TL is ALWAYS the good guys of e-sports. If a damn cheater allowed to play under TL banner.... Nazgul. Please, i humbly request to reconsider your decision. | ||

Please, i humbly request to reconsider your decision. If it makes you feel any better prolly a majority of the current CS-scene players have cheated at one point in 1.6 or something. I doubt theyre cheating now, so a lot of the time people do change. Also check my post earlier where i talked about the IBP-incicent | ||

I'm not sure if 95% or 99% of the people who want to play overwatch have not been able to play yet, but it seems wrong. Many people who want to go pro in it will have found a way to get in the beta already and during the early competition they'll have a big advantage. Seems like pretty much all of them also have a competitive background in other first person shooters and some of those skills will certainly apply. Don't know what the timeframe is for the start of big tournaments but if it's at all close to release it absolutely makes sense to already start forming squads. | ||

Many people who want to go pro in it will have found a way to get in the beta already So how does one find "a way to get in the beta already". I've got half a team that's been waiting to play since the hour it was announced and am more than qualified - i have not had a chance, nor have almost all of the people that i know that want to play at a casual or competitive level. | ||

I don't know about how legal/illegal it is (probably varies by jurisdiction) but the most obvious way would be to just buy accounts from those that have received access. I'm certain some people have done that if they've not been lucky enough to know someone who knows someone at Blizzard or whatever. | ||

Pretty sure that wouldn't be 'illegal' anywhere, but would be against their terms of use, so they could just ban you if they found out. | ||

I've been knee deep in that drama with friends trying to get WoW beta access to compete with others that randomly got it. | ||
