this is fine but if they truly want to give reformed cheaters a second chance, make the bans permanent but appealable like they do for racism and bigotry.
Having bans expire doesn't require cheaters to do any sort of reflection, and just assumes the cheater will be reformed after waiting out their 3-4 year ban.

Additionally, handing temporary bans down to players who cheat in a PAID division sets an awful precedent that they don't really care about players breaking the cardinal sin of esports. I don't have any reason to trust a league that allows players to pay to ruin other's experience with the only real consequence being essentially a formal warning and maybe an OMG thread ostracizing their behavior.

it's easier to disqualify an entire team off a single vod than it is to get one (1) single person banned from RGL.gg for blatant haxing.
I understand it's different people handling different situations, but it's concerning how rgl handles some situations on a whim whilst others take literal months to process.

how many people are there on the anticheat team? i feel like even with the bottleneck of them needing to be 100% certain, it shouldn't take so long to punish cheaters when there's more than circumstantial evidence against them.
In cases like sampha, he wasn't even initially smited by the anticheat team's doing, rather it was for failing to upload demos for the 3rd time.

garm stated that he had submitted evidence nearly 20 days prior to creating his forum post, so forgive me for finding it hard to believe that they [AC team] have coincidentally decided that enough evidence has been collected to indict sampha right after playoff teams threatened to boycott yet another season.

the only justification is the commonly cited one which is that the team is severely understaffed and hardly paid (if at all). In which case, how does it make sense to hold the team to such a high standard when there are literal hundreds of players competing in the league?

Also somewhat unrelated but how come cheating bans aren’t permanent? I kind of understand not wanting to punish players in lower divs too harshly, but in a paid division with prize pools, it’s completely illogical to allow players to re-enter the league.
Especially when they show no remorse for cheating in the first place, as was the case with Elijah and nowsampha, who’s ban expires in 2028 btw.

Every time I see this I think of the 90% acc force a nature log and start giggling.

Thank you for shedding light on the up-and-coming talent in our community. NA scene is finally back!

I think you should host your own server

I would tell b4nny haii ^_^

The competitive 6v6 meta has evolved past the point of actually needing to play the game, and now matches are decided by whoever wins the first midfight, which is determined by a game of rock paper scissors.

Also shotgun soldier is dead.

KZ produces some solid budget earbuds if you’re getting into IEMS. I liked KZ ZS10’s and they’re only around 15-20 bucks

Second on the moondrop rec. Especially if you can get a pricier pair like the arias.

5-0 the scrim team and lose the official because ego >>>

Placing a monetary incentive on winning and inflating your elo will undoubtedly lead to a toxic environment. I think you should play pugs to improve and most importantly have fun :))

I made 90 bucks this week by not playing tf2

I don’t make friends easily…. I guess you could say I’m something of a lone wolf…

Never directly compared the two. Doesn’t diminish the severity of what he said. Just saying that given you’re using a 2-year old clip to vilify someone for using abusive language, one would imagine you’d be impervious to doing the same. Especially in the same clip.

I quite frankly don’t care what you’ve done, and bringing it up doesn’t really detract from what I’ve stated prior.
