In any communitity there is the common knowledge of the consequences of behaviours that the community deems unacceptable. Whether or not the consequences to the players were known here or not I do not know, but in this case I believe it is up to Team Liquid to set a very clear precedence of what will happen next time(hopefully never again) cheaters are caught in other TL functions. IMO there should be zero tolerance and the cheaters should be perma-banned from other functions and from posting here on TL. Team Liquid is a pillar to the Starcraft community, and in a game where rampant cheating has already infiltrated I do not believe it would be wise to allow a second chance to the cheaters.

I just want a fair game.. =(

Here is another idea, sticky the names and description of the abuse to the top of the Broodwar forum after the tournement is over...for about a year. teamliquid.net/forum/gallows Might serve as a nice reminder that the community takes fair play seriously.

From the last TSL's rules thread. I guess we don't have one in the new forum yet.
Sounds fair.


It's a fair compromise.

I kinda agree with this. I can't really put into words how I feel about this... I mean GG.net can do whatever they want but it just seems like they're trying to kiss ass right now....

Well it only took 10+ years but its nice to see the community is finally taking a harsh stance on cheating. I only wish we could go back in time and start dishing out some punishments for past abuses that people in the community got away with. I'd hate to see someone who got away with abusing go unpunished. I'd even hate it if someone knowingly let someone,or someone's get away with abuse. After all knowingly abiding cheating is almost as bad as cheating yourself.

whose ass?

They were found to be cheaters, and they were punished for it. If someone cheats in BWCL or iCCCL they will get not only banned from BWCL but also from gosugamers. It's not unreasonable, you get punished regardless of where you did it.

A. We don't want people that are cheaters to be playing in our tournaments
B. We want people to be discouraged to do things like this, and if people know the consequences they are less likely to cheat, thus making the community a better place for all.


As for punishments regarding maphacking, it is all situational although many players have been permabanned from gosugamers for hacking.

isntead of thinking who they didn't catch think of the ones who were caught as an example to make sure no one ever cheats again..

I think gg.net really did a great job there. And I honestly don`t get discussing about or even stating the idea of later punishment. What point is there in playing a game when you know some people abuse it ? Srsly, although Im nowhere near ever playing those guys and I really enjoy watching some of them doesn't mean they can go make their own rules.
Main reason for starcraft being so awesome is the balance, so if you dont punish people who try to shift in in their favor, what is the point of playing?

I still like the abusers I liked before, some of the styles they play are just fun to watch and I'm sad I wont get to see them more often in the future, but I can live with that rather then with people cheating, abusing or shifting favor in any way other then winning in the game.
I figured out the EG Curse. It was set in motion by Voodoo Shamans working for Millenium. Whenever EG aquires a player, Voodoo energies start slowly draining skill from the EG guy into an Millenium newcomer. Think about it!

My thoughts exactly hahaha.

I agree with a nice long ban duration, maybe let them come back into the community in a couple of years (lol), but it still makes me sad to see respected players like yosh and DIMAGA do this kind of shit

So your idea is that you can compete in the world cup even if they caught you cheating in european cup?

you are wrong. how dare you compare TL to gosugamers. we routed them in a showmatch dammit AND we are a million times cooler.

also, i remember people debating the same thing about clazz being perma-banned for hacking. as the largest starcraft community, TL should take the harshest stance in order to severely discourage abusing in future events. it has to be done, even if it means we have to 'sacrifice' some stars along the way. it's their fault for abusing and they should take full responsibility for it.

TL was given thousands of dollars for a tournament, so they have a responsibility to hold the competitors to the highest standards. It's not like there are sponsors giving out thousands of dollars every day - this is a rare opportunity so it's good that TL is showing that they know how to handle it. It's good that GG.net is taking this seriously too - if you commit a crime in the US, Canada will still turn you in, and vice versa.

The main problem is that it's so easy to abuse when there isn't a tournament. It's pretty easy normally to get away with the kind of abuse that people were caught with, and the punishment isn't that severe usually. It just sounds like a big deal when suddenly people are paying serious attention and there are real consequences now that there's money involved.

edit: as far as star players go, it's not a tragedy that they're banned, its a tragedy that they were cheating to begin with.

best dota-replays are on gg.net.

Its starcraft section, however, is kinda redundant since TL does everything it does, just way better.

I more or less agree with Boblion. If people really regret what they did and really think it was stupid and immature (of course you can't tell if they're honest-one must judge based on actions taken) I would find it sad to permanently rob them of a chance to show they can change (well, who needs those guys anyways.. it's a bit sad because of the richness of skill in TSL lacking players like yosh, dimaga and A2, but there are still others who are really good - it's just not a complete list of the absolute top foreigners then - but I guess morales > such things).

*edit*oh, I wanted to add: Maybe -> 1) first phase punishment: Ban for consecutive TSL and forum ban up till then + close watch their actions; IF a) they are clean and behave as they should they could be allowed to play in TSL4 if they were banned for TSL3 and caught in 2; IF b) they are caught cheating, abusing, whatev in any other event in any way or where ever -> 2) (second phase punishment) BAN these mofos forever, as they showed they cannot change their behaviour.

it's just a question of stance: do you want to miss exceptions that occur like TT1 as Boblion said or don't you care what happens to their dishonest asses

Some people seem to be under the impression that this is the first time ggnet (or any other site, besides tlnet) has done something against hacking/abusing. Or the first time some of the major sc sites had worked together against this kinda thing.

Example: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=69911

That takes care of that. Now speaking as a former ggnet admin i know there's a lot of behind the scenes work against hackers and serious in-crew discussion about how to deal with hackers/abusers etc. Action was taken. Even if you think it was too lenient this is not the time to ride ggnet for the usual stuff tlnetters put them down for. I applaude them, and especially LoC.. who I'm pretty sure was the first to bring it up in the internal crew forums^^ It would have been soooooooo easy to do nothing.
