does Team Liquid have the legal right to sue over abuse? i.e. can they demand penalty fines?

I think people even arguing that the punishment is too harsh is the exact reason why the punishments need to become harsher. It just shows how many people view cheating/abusing in bw and its excatly why people keep on cheating. Like that stylish incident he acted like he didnt even do anything wrong. Of course what he did wasnt as bad as what people did in tsl but it was still lying to the people who follow his vods/threads. You never see people admit that they cheated. Its always they get caught and then they admit to it and its always the same excuses. I didnt have enough time, it was just a few points, why are you getting so upset, people dodge me, etc.

I think that banning is unfair, because I am sure that there were abusers outside top48, too... And they don't get any punishement. :/

All ladder games must be played from non-Korean, non-Chinese IPs. In your hypothetical, are you saying you plan to play most of the games from the United States then fly to China and play one game? I suspect this issue affects very few people.

As for our ability to detect IPs, I'm obviously not going to tell you explicitly how we track it or how evade it (if evading us is even possible). For 99.99% of cases, we will know if you play even one or two games from inside Korea or China, and any account that does this (without us giving the player an exception) will be disqualified.

This DQ will very likely happen at the end of the ladder, so there won't be time to play another account to qualify (if that is the goal). If multiple accounts are used in this way, we will know by cross-checking IPs. Also, all accounts with games played sharing IPs (for instance, if your A+ friend logs in and plays games for you) can and will be found out by us too. Add to this the rule that you must give all ladder replays to us (for hotkey matching), and its going to be very, very difficult to abuse.

Basically, don't try to abuse or game the system, because we will find out and you will be punished -- harshly. This is very likely not the last TSL, and abuse in one will likely result in a lifetime ban from all future TL events.

Even if we would catch zero players outside of top 48 your statement still makes no sense. You can't find every car thief on the planet does that mean you shouldn't do anything about the ones that you do catch.

I agree that the abusers should be banned severly but i understand what micronesia is saying by an upfront warning. Players would be less likely to abuse if they know the potential consequences of their actions, if they still do .. by all means permanent ban them.

More specific. What is the extent of the punishment? But yes it's good that they did that and I agree with it.
