"Win trading" by itself doesn't tell you how bad it is. Giving someone 2 wins like the screenshot is technically cheating but it's arguably not a significant number to reach 200 wins and someone could plausibly defend themselves that they had internet problems or something. I could sort of see how Blizzard doesn't want to draw a bright line to encourage a certain amount of cheating, something like saying trading 8 wins is okay but 9 wins results in punishment. It is probably the case that iAsonu and XY traded a number over a short period of time that is indefensible. | ||

Common sense would say the bright line is at one, but unless people are watching players for their intent, disconnects would be very ambiguous. | ||

Yeah, you can't tell the difference between a disconnect and win trading from any given game, unless people are dumb enough to chat "hey give me a win" and the other person promptly loses a game. Even if the same two players play 2, 3, even arguably 5 or 7 times and one player insta-disconnects and loses the games, that could be a gray area. Like I said, there's a number where it's indefensible. If someone loses 30 games to the same player where they are all insta-wins, obviously they're cheating. | ||

Blizzard has not been able to ban map hackers for 5 years, I doubt they are going to start now, they can't even get rid of the external map hacks that been out on sc2 for 3 years, they tried sueing the hack creators but failed hard. lol. Blizzard going after WCS chinese players and EU players now. Glad they are catching minor stuff like this but yeah.....They won't stop the mass hackers unless they hire a engineer to play cat and mouse with them, Blizzard to cheap to do that tho, they have the money and power to stop map hackers, they simply don't do it. Even the hackers said Blizzard can get rid of them easily with a security engineer. | ||

And I'm also guessing that SC2ITL is a Blizzard sanctioned event so it can also fall under Blizzard's jurisdiction when the offender is a WCS participant. SC2ITL will likely also be handing out a punishment to Krr in terms of partaking in the SC2ITL. edit: Blizzard is making, I think is making a clear statement, that any cheating found in any other competition will also hinder that participants chance's in WCS. I banned both Krr and KensShow (the player he was playing as for another team) from all future SC2Improve events (SC2ITL & our individual leagues). Had no idea it would blow up to be this big and he would be punished in WCS too. It was pretty serious though - he had been playing for this other player and I assume being paid for it for numerous months in numerous competitions/cups. It was a lot more than just a one off. At least he will be able to recover from a one season ban, though it is bad timing for him as he just had his best performance yet last season. | ||

Especially, when the incident concerns WCS players. This kind of argument does not make any sense to me. | ||

You have no proof of that, and assumptions when talking about player's career is just ridiculous. | ||

We do, we have replays over numerous tournaments showing the same hotkeys etc and he admitted to it afterwards.The assumption was that he was getting some portion of KensShows pay, which is pretty likely because why else would he do it? Edit : My original phrasing was bad I should have said : He had been playing for this other player for numerous months in numerous competitions/cups and I assume he was taking a share of the other players salary from his team when playing in Clan Wars etc. | ||

I'm sure, if a WCS player would be map hacking, he would get a far more severe punishment. Or when was the last time, you heard of Spades or Daisuki? | ||
