However he never came out and said it. If he wanted to be completely transparent (which I think is the best way to go here) he would have mentioned it. But it does sound bad to mention getting money given what has happened. I just wanted him to come out and admit it if it did happen. I am not trying to say "lets ban him," in all honesty i am playing devils advocate to an extent.. but hey just trying to figure out exactly what went down because it has a large effect on just how "bad" this is for DeathAngel (we already know Vera is done and should be given the mountain of evidence and her clear run and hide approach to the situation). | ||

I'm suggesting you are diverting blame to the community, which you are doing even more so by claiming you "feel sorry guys like (me)" as opposed to actually apologizing. | ||

Just to clarify, we never offered her coaching services and know nothing about how that was run. We offer training videos from multiple gamers for a monthly fee. Kawaii talks about the same thing here: On September 25 2012 09:31 KawaiiRice wrote: Someone mentioned they bought one of her 12 lesson packages for $100, but I don't know the rates. At SixPoolGaming we don't offer coaching services; we offer training videos, tutorials and the like for a low monthly subscription fee (and you get access to every coach's videos for this fee). The only thing SPG contributed for her coaching credibility was their name, which I doubt affected the decisions of her students (I could be wrong?). Even if someone subscribed to SPG for Vera's videos specifically I am sure the rest of the content on the site is adequate for them. Vera did however advertise her coaching through a listing on z33k.com. | ||

To note, many pros secretly level other accounts for money. All this smurfing and power leveling people do is for money. What deathangel did is no different than what other pros do everyday. Only difference is that he got caught. Hopefuly his apology was sincere and he will stop those activities. I don't remember him in any past wrong doings, so he deserves a second chance. Mostly because he has admitted to it and said he will won't continue those acts. He was offered a chance to do something he was never able to do before in his life - play in show matches against big-name pros. His decision to play was understandable, but not right. He definitely deserves a second chance as he is willing to admit to the mistake and come out and apologize. | ||

While all of it was very wrong in my eyes (and I don't buy the "my intentions were good" or not realising the crime until afterwards bs), the one single thing that got me most upset was probably playing in the female only tournament and winning easily. + Show Spoiler + On September 25 2012 06:20 Rif_king wrote: http://www.twitch.tv/z33ktv/b/326546942 I feel bad for LoveGeek, there was an lesser known girls-only SC2 tournament that was never listed. "Veralynn" all-killed and never dropped a single game in this tournament, and I feel really bad for all the players who could have had a chance. Compare to the Romanian national championships, and imagine a code-A Korean smurfing on some no-name Romanians account winning everything. Maybe you can offer free coaching to the female players in the tournament to make up a bit?  | ||

Is there any solid evidence of ppl paying for many hours of coaching ? and I guess some ppl were still happy with the coaching because they were coached by a girl.. wich also sounds weird to me.. but I forced nobody to get coaching from her . I guess if I would know someone would pay for coaching.. I would offer my services .. I think I can be a good coach .. | ||

However, we don't have to forgive him immediately. At least with what has been presented so far it seems to me that he has caused some issues he should have been aware of. There is a place in between total ban and complete forgiveness and that doesn't seem too unreasonable. | ||

Before the channel got deleted i can confirm there was instances that she did in fact say she offered paid coaching | ||

But for the sake of fairness, I have a solution to this. Because of what you and Veralynn did (I won't accuse you on what your intentions are, but you still did contribute), many people have lost their money on false coaching etc. I propose that you offer free lessons to anybody for the next few months to pay back to the community. Do this until your reputation has been restored. And I do believe that if you do this, it will. | ||

Some may accept or not but one quick thing to note is: Why would you stream on her twitch account when on her account if you used it as a smurf? Did she ask you to do it or what? | ||

That said, give the guy another chance. It's hell out there for the average foreigner pro and I can't say I fully understand his situation. Others have been caught doing worse and have been forgiven. | ||

It's not just that he smurfed under her name, but he streamed games pretending to be veralynn to promote her brand. The whole thing is just dirty. | ||
