EPTI understand cutting them from this tournament for the sake of all the players who didnt cheat, but I don't see how them cheating this season affects future TSL's. Sure it discourages future players from cheating but at the cost of the people who will be watching the tournament.

For far too long there has been no deterrence for people who decide to cheat in tournaments. This is a great step in preventing these kind of incidents in future events. The punishment definately fits the crime and I hope people learn from this. Now if only other Starcraft communities can jump on board with TL and create a uniform / standardized way of dealing with abuse in foreign events, it will be the only way to truly tackle the problem of cheating. Also I hope the high exposure of the abuse in TSL2 hasnt affected the foreign starcraft scene from any future sponsorship opportunities. | ||

i love these 'im a lurker but i felt so obligated to post here and defend cheaters' replies, more like 'my best friend isnt going to be able to jam in tsl3 and this sucks'. pick better e-friends next time im a lurker and i feel all these cheaters should be banner longer. i come from playing competitive counter-strike as long as many of you play competitive starcraft and the bans for FREE LEAGUES were just as bad even worse. anywhere from 1-4 years. in terms of fan excitement, who didnt watch ret's take on the qualifier group and not get excited? sympathize with the CHEATERS not being able to play for MONEY. makes alot of sense | ||

Regarding anyone who doesn't like the penalty: Cheaters deserve to be banned for life immediately. Stop whining, because those bastards got lucky. | ||

Sure it discourages future players from cheating but at the cost of the people who will be watching the tournament. If tournaments like this are meant to cater to fans and spectators, then the cheaters should absolutely be banned from future tournaments. As someone who watches competitive Starcraft as a fan, I felt cheated when I saw who the abusers were. Some of them I was rooting for to get into top 48, and was planning on rooting for them through TSL. They made a fool out of me for believing that they were competing honestly. They weren't. If you still want to be fans of these people, that's fine. I say well done TL, well done Admins, go home cheaters. | ||

She probably doesn't even know how to turn on a computer. Anyway, as a lurker, I'm mildly surprised at how lenient the sentencing was. | ||

What unk is saying (I think), is that makes it ridiculous for TL and others to expect iCCup to ban the abusing players. Though unk, from what I can tell, has said nothing about it being wrong to ban from TL events and the next TSL. Although I think the players that made a new account, played it up to their current rank, then had a friend give free wins through an account that received those stats via a transfer from the gaining player IS abuse by iCCup rules... unk, you may correct me if I am wrong on that case. (As a funny side note, contrary to my example, I am NOT a B player ^^) | ||
