They are trying, they made a post 2 days ago.

You don't understand what sc2 has to do with WCS?

try to read more carefully
he said sc2l

I saw that, I assumed it was a typo or the l stood was "ladder", either way I don't know what it means. Whether it's a typo, ladder or league, it still doesn't make sense.

This is the first time i've seen a real consequence for unfair play since TL banned dimaga tt1 yosh and them during the TSL. Outside of anything to do with matchfixing that is.

I think anyone who thought about running 2 accounts in a league to help a team out or try and make an extra buck, is going to now think otherwise.

Yeah, and IAsonu and Krr's cheating had NOTHING to do with WCS. Krr was cheating in a teamleague and IAsonu did not need the wins anyway, since he won the chinese qualifier.


If you read the post carefully, iAsonu was not suspended for getting himself wins but for helping XY get sufficient wins on NA server to participate in wildcard qualifier (XY is not currently qualified for Challenger).

In other words, he was suspended for helping XY cheat, not for cheating for his own benefit:

While iAsonu already held WCS Challenger status, he is not indemnified and was complicit in cheating.

Blizzard got some summer interns hard at work? As a lot have already stated, ban them map hackers first if they have the resources.

Sorry, what I meant to say was that neither of these players cheated to get into WCS, and were disqualified for other reasons.

Blizzard has found Krr to be in violation of the collusion and match fixing section ... iAsonu recently qualified for WCS America Season 3, and XY participated in the past WCS America events and the Americas server ladder. Players on the Americas server reported win trading between the two players


Why are these guys only suspended and not entirely excommunicated? Or will the community pretty much take care of that anyway? This is despicable.

I second that question. They should at least make a statement about that.

what? they traded some wins, which is bad, and suspending them for one season is an appropriate punishment.

demonizing them is not

This the first instance of them doing this, they are being punished sufficiently for now. The second time they get caught doing this will be and should be a different story.

Can it really be considered "Drama" when it's a professional response from a ruling authority about a violation of rules? Seems pretty standard, to me, nothing to be dramatic about.



Kinda curious about the spot being freed up in WCS EU. Why add it to the wildcard qualifier and not one of the EU Qualifiers?


Standard policy for every other time someone forfeits a spot in their WCS region - the extra spot always comes from the Wildcard. Did the same with Naniwa, Hack, Byul, and the Duckdeok retirement.
The world is better when every background has a chance.

Fortunately, this isn't really dramatic. Three people broke the rules and were punished accordingly. While sad and disappointing for the fans, it's hardly dramatic. I think Blizzard handled this well.

I guess they are referring to this rule:

Collusion and Match Fixing
–
Players are not allowed to intentionally alter the results of any match. If the organizer determines that a player is colluding or match fix ing, the player will be immediately disqualified and removed from the tournament and may be restricted from participating in future events.


I still don't understand where it says that the rules apply to competition that is not within the WCS system.

Semantics, but "any match" could be seen as implying it, though I don't know if there is anything in the rulebook that says the rules only apply to WCS events unless stated otherwise.
