This was very well thought out. Good choices by TL mods. I think it's good to give one second chance, so a harsh penalty on the first offense followed by permaban on the second offense is a good balance. (Although I wouldn't have been upset by an immediate permaban on everyone who cheated, I do think this way is a lot better.)
May the BeSt man win.

Sucks for F91 and some of the players I like, but rules are rules, and cheaters must be punished!

Glad to see TL taking a hard line.

Just one minor point, in the FAQ you said "TSL is the penultimate foreign SC event," but I believe you meant "premiere foreign SC event."

*claps* I always wondered why the community was so lax with cheaters. Hell, with some cheaters who are liked, people actually DEFEND the act! Its insane. I hope this is the start of a new outlook for the community in regards to abuse.

Have to agree, may they server they're sentence, then and only then may they try to earn a second chance.

This is a true punishment.
I am glad our TL team is showing that we need to show respect specially in events like this.

Kudos to the Team Liquid Crew.

So true, people tend to forget it just because StarCraft is "just a game" but there is people competing very hard to earn that money. It is not fair to them.

First steps to becoming more professional outside Korea. GJ.

Cheaters should furthermore become more aware that they ruin competition and spoil fun for others. Especially with a prize pool of $20,000+ cheating is disgraceful and malicious. You are not much short of stealing money.

With TSL3 and future events promising to be bigger at TL.net they will probably question themselves whether it was worth it.

sigh it would've been better to announce punishments pre-TSL to deter these people

i agree, but not with the rhetoric involving other sites/teams. if these organizations want to ban these players, fine, and that can be encouraged, but the whole idea of "if you dont ban them cause they cheated on our website's tournament, then youre supporting cheating!" repeated multiple times was a bit much.

and lol did you guys just compare yourself to the olympics

Seems that Yosh's 57-0 winning streak may have not really been legitimate. That's a shame.

Anyways, harsh punishments are good. Cheaters won't stop if they have nothing to lose. Good on the TL staff for that. Need to hammer it through that this is a big tournament with a big prize pool and abusing/cheating is a serious offense.
