Of course highmaster/gm brings recognition you get to play all the good players up in the ladder. Which streams occasionally which also makes people see ur name all the time. And by getting up there improves ur skill quite a lot and of course it helps quite a lot getting into GM. There are so many in the high masters ladder that struggles to get into GM. | ||

Past that however, it's not like we as a community can police this sort of thing. So blizzard either bans the power leveled accounts or doesn't and that's end of story. On the bright side it's not easy to get into GM so it's not like any pro could do it with 5+ accounts per season easily. | ||

And Kespa even banned people for life. Of course Blizzard will ban those accounts too. Who has KeSPA banned for this? Nobody comes to mind, and I've been watching SC for a while. | ||

This should be the least of our concerns as long as there are hackers around - that REALLY hurts esports and the competitive spirit surrounding it. | ||

As for the topic of the thread, I don't really care about account leveling provided the progamer doing it really needs the money, which is probably not a rare thing. Supporting the hacking scene isn't really an issue, because it should already be able to support itself based on the consumer base for its hacks. In addition, hacks are so easy to get that the entire consumer base should be able to get their hands on a hack, so additional funds probably shouldn't matter in that area, either. | ||

You can still be good even if this happens. That is kind of a stupid argument you gave. | ||

KeSPA banned people for life for cheating. TL and foreigner community banned people for cheating through ladder abuse. Just abusing 1 game = 1 year ban. | ||

Alright, so it doesn't "prevent it", my bad. It doesn't lower your chances to be recognized though. Sure, winning tournaments gives more recognition. But still, I don't see how you can argue that it's beneficial to allow it to continue. The most you can say is that it doesn't matter. Not everyone agrees though. | ||
