Depends, they may have made it so he can't get out of bronze.


Ya, I didn't think of that... Sucks for him lol.

EDIT: So can he enter bronze tournaments now? For coaching and money?
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

If Blizzard has also adjusted their MMR to like -5000 or so, forcing them to only play each other for eternity, this is the GREATEST troll ever, surpassing even Uszat.

Banned accounts are still excisting accounts, they do show up in ladders and whatnot however the ability to logon has been removed. I believe the account is actually banned but the profile still simply excists, this is atleast how they take care of their WoW bans, assuming they do a similar approach to their SC2 accounts.

The ladder is locked though right? So noone can be promoted at the moment.

Yeah, that's really going to work.

40 more drophacked games and they will soar to Grandmaster League again.

I still have serious doubts that the ladder lock will entirely work. Just because they can't soar to GM now doesn't mean they can't disrupt GM play by playing against GM players?

Blizzard should have all the drop hackers in one division and when they search for matches, they should only get another drop hacker of that same division.. haha would be fun :D

In that case a tournament admin will most likely deal with him.

Edit: Btw, are there even bronze only tournaments for money? :S

Well, now that the ladder is locked, he'll end up as Bronze for this ladder season, so it'll appear on his account forever...

And I'd also bet that they can ban someone from playing without him disappearing from ladder...

Anyway, it's pretty funny to me.

I would be really funny if blizzard just set the MMR of all the cheaters to some unreasonably low value so they could only be paired against each other...

I love how everybody has repeated what everyone else has said for the past ~10 pages.

But seriously this is pretty lols. They probably are banned, but either way, nuking 'em back to the bottom of bronze sure defeated anything they were trying to gain by being in GM league.

I mean think about it, the ladder was close to being locked, maybe there was the possibility that the huge surge in hackers so close to the end of the ladder was because losers out there wanted to completely ruin the state of the Season 2 Ladder, hopefully causing it to be locked in a really shitty state, ie 5 known hackers in the GM league :/

When blizzard previously banned account they were never
removed from the ladder ranking as previously said ! So these account
are banned he you look in the account history no recent game played!
+ they demoted them to bronze so they dont stay in the gm league forever

I don't get why people do this, it's a lot of money down the drain by getting banned.
Question, with the ladder lock is it also impossible to get demoted opposed to promoted?
nope

It doesn't even matter. The accounts are banned it's just standard Blizzard to not entirely delete an account for whatever purpose. The hackers can't play another game on the account and they're locked in at some mysterious bronze league.
