That's a side-step that would lead to more issues down the line, with barcodes being connected to players' IPs and MAC addresses and the like. Just because it was worse before, doesn't mean that we should stick to the way things were. When the points separating qualification and top 10 is in the low double digits IIRC, then even 1 free win can impact the standings, and 1 free win can force an honest, deserving player out of the standings. It might not be as big of an affront to authority as dozens of free wins, but it cannot be overlooked. These rules mean that pros cannot play anytime they want for practice or for fun anymore. It's stupid. Ladder shouldn't be connected to any serious tournament. It's a joke. | ||

Because they lost out on so much potential money from Starcraft and WC3 (via DOTA) when they had a hands off approach. On April 10 2016 02:54 -Kyo- wrote: This is actually pretty disgusting. Wonder when Blizzard is actually going to start firing people for doing a poor job? I've been asking that same exact question since the moment I saw the Warhound in the HOTS Beta. I still can't believe no one was fired after they spent time and money developing that, and used up precious Beta time testing it. There is zero, zero accountability at Blizzard. It is an old boys club, stuck in the 90's era where select IT "guru's" ruled over everything and could never be wrong. Problem is, it is 2016, and garbage like "the technology just isn't there yet" fools exactly no one anymore. I wish the cries would get louder from the sponsors, teams and people that matter in the scene, and force Blizzard's hand. It is time to clean house. | ||

And if it's win-trading why is only one half being punished. Personally I think Blizzard have got an itchy trigger finger about this recently and this looks like trying to justify shooting bans at someone. | ||

But you are 100% right about only one half being punished. I hadn't thought of that. I'd love to hear why everyone involved wasn't banned. | ||

Make a seperate ladder if it's that important. This situation (and it potentially happening to more players) is ridiculous Shouldn't trust Major's "0 proof 0 evidence" (that really is something guilty people usually say) Innocent until proven guilty. Guilty people may say that sometimes but innocent people say it a lot more and it's insane to take a claim of innocence as admission of guilt or as evidence against someone. It matters if Major did anything wrong here, but it also isn't about one player - It's fucked up x1000 that such a situation is even plausible | ||

His logic: "If I can't explain the dramatic loss of viewership in two different expansions due to my incompetence, then I'll just DQ them." | ||

Blizzard should put a big waning message before every ladder game that counts for the qualifications (at least during the last 24 hours). Maybe with a clear agreement that you must accept or else the game won't even start (or won't give any points to players) Saying what, you better try 110% to win this game or else we'll ban you from tournaments and put you on the match fixer list? You can't play ladder this weekend? At the moment this punishment only applies to this season's Copa America, however malicious intervention is a serious offense results so that may have major consequences. It's ladder. People can influence the results without malicious intention just by playing the game as designed. | ||

It is better for the remaining players and the future of Starcraft that all tournaments are kept without any form of corruption accidental or not as he claims. The last think they need is more bad press when you consider whats happened recently in Korea. | ||
