I can honestly say (not just because I'm on staff, of course it looks like I'm biased) that I agree 100%. Having seen the staff from the sidelines as a regular member, then some 'behind the scenes' actions in the staff forums, I have never seen a more dedicated and hard working group of volunteers so committed to maintaining the highest levels of integrity and promote an image of competency in my life. The way the staff gels together and makes decisions is pretty amazing, especially in recent years where a few leaders have really surfaced (looking at Hot_Bid, Kennigit, Chill and Plexa here... these guys are truly amazing), as well as a host of others who come up with incredible ideas and just run with it. I often feel bad I don't contribute an inkling compared to some of the guys (and gals!) on our staff; but with the raw talent some have, I think an old man like me would just be getting in the way. | ||

1) We don't know how many TL events will happen within the next 12 months. There might be a lot of events, a few, or maybe none at all. Of those events, if these abusers weren't banned, would they even be eligible, or even be available to play in these events? 2) Will these abusers still be playing Starcraft in 12 months? Will they still have interest in playing in TSL3 when it happens? These punishments really only hurt the abusers if they still have an interest in participating in TL events. It's not as severe as some people make it out to be. Their accounts on TL aren't banned and they're still allowed to have links to their streaming page. They can still read, enjoy, and comment on all TL content that is provided by the same people that they tried to screw over (the TL organizers). Personally, I think the punishment is just a slap on the wrist. | ||

Firstly I want to say that being banned from TSL3 and TL events for 8 months blows, and i've totally lost all motivation to play now. Infact i've played one game in the last week, but thats partly because they have been working me long hours at work too. I don't want to sound like an idiot, or make excuses for myself, but hey at this point i've got nothing to lose. I've been playing with yosh for 2 years now. Out of all the people on bw I would play with him the most, talk to him the most, and he would coach me. He is honestly an incredibly nice guy, and no matter how much bashing you fags do, you won't ever be able to take that away from him. And as far as free winning for Yosh ? I didn't even think twice about it because it was just like another practice game against him for me. Sure, it was me vs him smurf account, but we had already been sharing another one of his accounts earlier in the season, so it didn't feel any different. I tried my very best to win against him, and I actually almost won game 2. So if I had used my account instead of his smurf account things would be different, but I wanted to end the season with A- on RaNgeD. I don't know if i'll quit, or just take a break for now. (Not that any of you care) Bring on the flame.. | ||

Don't want to flame, but even though it wasn't exactly a surprise you'd do something like this, it's still sad to see you didn't learn from previous experiences. I sincerely hope you've learned this time and get back to some clean and good gaming later on =D (kudos for the post and not making any excuses) | ||

Thanks for not making excuses and we all know most of these guys are nice guys but I hope you understand like most of us that cheating is not welcomed here and that even though the punishment might seem harsh it is what we need to keep this community clean and fun. I dont know you, havent seen you play or anything but I hope you dont quit. We are the best SC community out there, and we are trying to keep it that way. Thats the only reason I agree with the punishment. I have nothing personal against these guys or you and I bet most of us dont even really know them but doing what they did is not cool... thats all. | ||
