First of all, I'm really happy and proud of being part of a community that has no tolerance against cheaters.
One thing I feel like you either forgot to mention or didn't think of though... While it's a good thing that other communities punish these cheaters as well, it just isn't enough. What you, TL, didn't in this case was being very active in the fight against cheating - more so than ever before seen in the foreign community. I have doubt that other events have the same posibilities to actually perform this sort of investigations to find the cheaters. But this comes with professionalism of course and I see (though TL.net isn't a real company) TSL being a very very professionally arranged event.
Bravo to TL.net for doing this amazing work. I feel like cheating has always been a thing holding back not just Starcraft, but Esports in generalt from becoming mainstream, as we see it in Korea. It's is nice to see actions taken on this topic.

This will certainly deter most people from cheating next time. Job well done.

The path of the righteous player is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the rule breakers and the tyranny of self gaining abusers. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the ladder of darkness, for he is truly a TSL keeper and the finder of true players. And we will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my Star League. And you will know our name is TEAM LIQUID when we lay our vengeance upon thee.

Seems harsh, I will miss seeing some of the players just because they could provide good games, but then it doesn't matter because cheating is not acceptable.
and all the fanboyism is making me sick... special case for F91... for what? all people who apologized did it after they got caught. If they didn't apologize ten probably because they feel genuinely ashamed, but again it doesn't matter...
btw has any team taken any action against a cheater? (i would be positivity surprised if so, but its highly unlikely, because it would put the given team in great disadvantage if there isn't ant-cheating support from everyone, which it looks like we wont get because of how biased and fanboyish everyone is)

Its perfect, die to cheater

I think the OP should just be change to this. With this people need no explanation.

Hahaha that was quality.
Back on topic, I was very pleasantly surprised by these penalties and the OP in general. With all the tough talk being bandied about in the GG.net thread, I thought TL was seriously considering lifetime bans for these people which I considered completely excessive in circumstances involving first time offenders and a lack of clearly espoused penalties. TL needed to set out in stone what the penalties would be and I'm glad they have finally done so.
On with the rest of the show!

I'm glad you're punishing cheaters.
It degrades great players like Ret and Idra (who I hate) if you were to let cheaters compete and possibly win against hard working players. No one would bother competing (or have cash winnings).
|
I am looking forward to TSL2, thanks to TL staff for all their hard work! The punishment fits the crime imho.. :D
|
Unk just sent a message to everyone:
"Create 2 Accs, have your friend play one of them and give you free wins. Thats NOT against ICCUP rules"
-----
To the ppl saying the show is more important than the fair play (i dont believe some said that):
Kill yourselves. This is not WWF, this is SC.
-----
To Teamliquid:
Kudos. The punishment is as harsh as it shoud be. Raised your respect bar even higher.
|
Good decision TL!
This is just the set of rules that we need.

u know whats bs...
f91 being forced to fly to another country to particpate in the tourny
|
im very glad they did this. maybe it's cuz im not particularly involved/knowledgeable about the foreigner scene to care about what happens to these people personally, but this is definitely a great punishment. down with cheaters!

Actually, it isn't. It's his choice to play in the tournament. It's not like anyone is forcing him to play in the TSL.
