Apparently he played for her in a female only tournament and other tournaments which had money in them. | ||

Slick scam though, could have gone unnoticed for a long time. Some of the arguments the OP made are weak, but some are very strong and undeniable, like the Romanian language error message. | ||

If you stream a lot you don't constantly change things - especially something like overlays. Tons of small nuances are really noticable if you get in the habbit of doing them yourself, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was something like that. A fun way to think of it would be: Normal people can't see why card tricks often work, but a trained magician in the audience can almost always notice when deck swaps happen. Switching between two different streamers after watching each one individually for a while would make it blatant, at least from my prospective. | ||

Haven't the relevant people at SixPool and Z33k already been contacted and everything has already been sorted out? Why does the witch hunt have to follow? TL: Bring back balance threads and ban drama threads! She has been scamming people with false skill level advertising, scamming sponsors of events by saying she plays show-matches etc whilst DeathAngel does the playing. I'd count both of these alone as fraudulent. | ||

TOO GOOD! LOL On the actual topic, I haven't watched the VODs since it says they've been taken down. (If she has nothing to hide, prolly wouldn't take them down). Well formatted post and substantial evidence from multiple sources. The fact that SixPoolGaming and members of Z33ktv have vouched for him just adds to the fact. | ||

Not at a local, it'll occur on a pub right on the RoI/NI border as the inaugral all-Ireland council meeting | ||

Bingo. This will keep happening as long as leveling services are written off as necessary evils. VeraLynn is done in this community, but DeathAngel will probably be allowed to continue competing because even though he helped cheat tournaments out of their money, people will defend him by victim-blaming others and declaring that everyone who wants to play Starcraft professionally deserves to have as much money that they want (regardless of if they earned it or have the talent), even if that includes cheating the system, and other people. | ||

When you observe the game you can see many flaws in someones play which player doesent see. So you can advise a lot better player then urself ingame and that would help very much. Pro coaches arent better then actual players and yet, they can see someones mistakes. So mid-master would be quite enough to do some bqsic coaching. Not at others level, but decent, yes. | ||
