I have some bad news to share. After speaking with TSL admins who informed me of suspicious games on F91's match list, I spoke with F91 and he has admitted to me that he cheated by asking a friend to give him free wins (the six games after he played TSL-CastrO). I am extremely disappointed that this happened and very sad that one of Duskbin's players cheated in this way. It goes without saying that this sort of behavior cannot be tolerated.

Some of you may wonder why he abused when he was already so high in the ladder and virtually guaranteed a Top 48 spot. F91 needed to qualify for the Top 12 in order for his flight scheduling to work out.

Here is a statement from F91:

I haven't been able to play in the TSL ladder due to the G-League in China. Because of this, I dropped out of the Top 12 and was forced to play with bad equipment in an internet café at 4am before the G-League finals the next day. It was very difficult finding TSL players who would play me, and when I finally played Castro and lost, I was very frustrated and discouraged, so I made a very wrong move to get free wins off my Chinese friend. I am extremely sorry for doing this and will take full responsibility for my actions. I will stop competing in TSL immediately, and I hope someday I can be forgiven for this.


Of course, no circumstances can excuse what happened. DuskBin E-Sports does not tolerate cheating and can no longer support F91 in the TSL. I would also like to apologize again on behalf of Duskbin and F91 for the problems he has caused, especially to those fans who have been rooting for him since day one. It is indeed sad that it has to end in this way.

Nevertheless, we would still like to thank the TeamLiquid Admins for coming up with such an awesome league. I hope other TSL players will take this as a lesson, and we can have a clean and reputable tournament going forward.

Thank you,
Duskbin.Ash

wow... ESPORTS!!!

EDIT: Thinking about it more, I wonder why he felt like he needed to cheat? I can see the situation: Its 4 in the morning, playing with crappy equipment and getting dodged all the time but all he needed was a couple of good games to be back at the top. He just needed a bit more Patience

Ash you are a good guy appreciate all the hours (days even) we have spent discussing everything about the Chinese participation to TSL. It is clear your heart is in the right place and there are very few people on the planet that have as much dedication to e-sports as you. I'm sad this had to happen to you, and also sad that F91 resorted to this. This post was definitely the right thing to do. Thanks for that.

Ash that was a very good post. F91 is a good guy and an amazing gamer. He shouldn't have cheated (as he said) and the punishment fits the crime.

Wish I coulda seen F91 vs IdrA again though

I feel bad for Ash, but not for F91. Maybe Sen will get the glory back to DuskBin

I am not good with quotes

Very disappointing to not have F91 in the TSL.
Of course, you only live one life, and you make all your mistakes, and learn what not to do, and that’s the end of you.

Its a shame and rather silly to even try to cheat in something like this. With thousands of people f5ing the ladder standings every few hours. Cheating in the top 100 going to get spoted pretty fast. I guess I understand his reasons for trying it, but its still disapointing to see a good player knocked out like this. Worst thing is there 24 hours left in the ladder. He likely could have made top 12 without having to cheat.
When the spirit is not altogether slain, great loss teaches men and women to desire greatly, both for themselves and for others.

There are some players, into the top 48, that did the same thing as F91, but im pretty sure that they will continue playing the league, like if nothing hav happened.

Anyways, good decition to leave after this, GL

Dunno why people think no-one will notice :/

Anyway F91 is still cool. If he had such a huge problem with people dodging wasn't that grounds to be allowed to smurf?

Sad that this happened.

Good that F91 admitted straight.

As someone said above me, the punishment fits the crime.

ironic that he got caught because he's so popular.
