I see all these good players getting knocked out before round of 32 by complete unknowns. I would love to see new blood in the scene, but how do we know they're not hacking or cheating in some way? Sorry to bring it up but all of these upsets have that shadow hanging over them constantly and makes it way less fun for me. Edit: I've also only started feeling this way since the Spades/Impa thing, before that I was blissfully ignorant. | ||

Rest assured that at least for the ones that are earning points in the ranking, TL will have a look at the replays to see if everything is legit. | ||

To be honest, im not surprised so many unknowns are knocking out big players. There are a lot of very good players out there. But people should remain guarded over what happened recently. edit:// wow pokebunny beat nerchio. Being a bit of a nerchio fan..... wp pokebunny  | ||

Edit: I've also only started feeling this way since the Spades/Impa thing, before that I was blissfully ignorant. If this was a one time thing I would definitely agree. But winning several Bo1s in a row is a strength as well, and by no means will an undeserving player end up winning it all and taking the seed. Now, I can't remember the total of qualifiers they intend having, but the point system will reward players who are consistently able to beat this format. edit: I somehow figuered your post was about Bo1s and not about cheating. Nevermind me. | ||

Yeah not worried about that so much as just the feeling of constantly questioning if it's legitimate That's what exposed hackers do to the scene. Make everyone suspicious.

I hope Blizzard come's out with something in order to ease the communities fears | ||

To play in EU/NA tournaments, the player must: Live in North America or Europe; OR Be a citizen of a North American or European country; OR Live in South America To play in Korea, the player must: Live in Korea; OR Be a citizen of Korea Players who qualify for both must elect whether they wish to participate in the 10 EU/NA tournaments or the 5 Korean tournaments. Those in China, Taiwan, and SEA may choose to play in either the EU/NA tournaments or in the Korean events. Players in South America will play on the EU/NA qualifiers. Players will indicate which they are choosing simply by entering and playing an event on that server. Entering events on both point rankings will result in disqualification. Examples, assuming these players wish to participate in TSL4: EG.iNcontroL lives in the United States and is not a citizen of Korea, he can only choose to play in the 10 EU/NA qualifiers IM.NesTea lives in Korea and is not a citizen of a NA or EU country, he can only choose to play in the 5 KR qualifiers Liquid`Jinro lives in Korea and is a citizen of Sweden, he can elect to play in the 10 EU/NA qualifiers OR the 5 KR qualifiers Empire.Violet lives in the United States and is a citizen of Korea, he can elect to play in the 10 EU/NA qualifiers OR the 5 KR qualifiers GamaniaSen lives in Taiwan, he can choose to play in the 10 EU/NA qualifiers OR the 5 KR qualifiers | ||

Ah, fuck, that wasn't RO64, disregard my post, I failed to comprehend the previous ones. Still, those are upsets.  | ||
