Starting on Page 7, using the phrase, "Welfare Circus Series/System" will result in mod action. It breeds negativity and it's just generally a stupid thing to say. All in all, please stop discussing the WCS system, this thread is about the disqualification. |
Marinelord trying to be the good guy, in a sense, and help out a fellow national get a spot into Challenger by exploiting the system.
I just hope Marinelord doesn't lose his French National spot and is able to play and win the entire thing and look smugly upon Blizzard 
Also, if Snute, Nerchio, and Elazer are already qualified for Spring Championship, why are they playing in Challenger? Is it for money? Practice? Because they can?

ML is already qualified, he didn't care about this ladder tournament.
Thing is, if the case is proven, I don't see how he wouldn't be banned (and have his career ended cause afaik he'll back to school in september...)

Still hope one day people will try to have global vision for SC2... Not only for their entertainement...
Well I don't know why this thread derailed into a Korea vs Europe troll war, but personally I'm huge fan of Korean progaming and I don't accept ML cheated yet, there is too many holes in the story. When (if) we hear more about this I may change my mind, though.
So all in all, I don't find your comment very relevant.

I read through the entire thread and *still* don't understand what is going on or why they were disqualified.
It's pretty simple from an investigative point of view. Blizzard won't release these details but i'll explain it in Lehman's terms.
The account of MarineLord plays on computer X with MAC address X (identification of your computer). DnS plays on computer Y with MAC address Y.
MarineLord logs off on computer X and logs in on a smurf account with the same computer. DnS matches that account and wins points (the games itself are unknown variables).
They may have communicated with each other on their accounts, which Blizzard would be able to recover from logs. (this would be immediate 100% proof, IF they have said anything which would prove that).
DnS gets top 16 in the last minutes due to this transaction in wins.
Marinelords smurf account hasn't played at all this season, yet matched up with DnS either way.
Blizzard is able to pull winrates, other chatlogs from main-accounts(this may be their "further investigation"), game-history and other data like "avarage APM" or their usual build orders etc, which could indicate a false game (this is speculation).
It is highly probably that Blizzard was able to conclude certain proof from a wide range of data and could immediately take a decision without having to consult the players.

we don't know yet the case will evolve. For now, they were only banned from challenger, not from the main event, in which MLord already qualified. Wait and see.

wow that is a really bad story. I loved this ladder rush the last week so much...

The moment you are given a tournament you have a chance to win you start match fixing...

This is what I am thinking too. In my +10 years of playing Blizzard games ive seen them do many stupid/annoying moves. But I got a feeling there is much more 'proof' behind this decision they have announced. They might even have an automated system that looks at this data (ip, mac, purchased of cd-key, system id, game history,etc, etc) so these accounts can be auto flagged.

DnS gets top 16 in the last minutes due to this transaction in wins. @Wonnaplay If it's the case then it s cheating, but most of your other arguments are not real ones first of all they probably talk about this on skype or smthing, maybe they did the mistake to talk about it during the game but.. would they really do so ?
Marinelords smurf account hasn't played at all this season, yet matched up with DnS either way. Don't you see any other reason why he took a smurf after securing top 16 on his main account ? that argument make no sense
But anyway I know french pro scene and this is kind of happening everytime, and sometimes it s obvious

When Blizzard takes action like this, there's usually a decent amount of evidence, so the only thing to say at a time like this is "Good GOD Marinelord, how could you he THIS stupid?"

Hey guys, I haven't followed this much, but what actually happened in the context of win-trading, did they win-trade for ladder points, or..?

Can someone explain how in the world they could possibly know win trading was definitely going on between these 2 guys?
I don't see how it's possible to be sure about this...

Yet another shameful case of tournament organizers trying to do more than just organizing.

I don't get how this win-trading thing works... If they trade win they also trade losses so their points shouldn't go up?

Enforcing the rules and preventing cheating is shameful?

Allegedly MarineLorD was losing games intentionally on one of his smurfs to gift points to DnS so that he'd make it to the top8.
