Forsaken Unbanned!

"How one guy deleted an entire region from the CS scene"

[@sephondranzer]

Honestly, the organizers of that event had a huge hand in this. Every country has cheaters bro - but for moderators to let things get so far before even trying to inspect things makes people think they are too lax about anti-cheat. Hell over here in the USA we’ve had *WAY* more cheaters than you and you guys have like 4 times our population. You just have stricter measures against hackers in future events in India.

[@kopsi.]

I remembered that. I felt really bad for all the players trying to prove that they can compete. Their region had talent and this single action put a pile of dirt on a closed coffin.

5 year ban is probably ok. What team would want to play with him now? Any win will be under massive scrutiny. If he does well, it will be questioned. I think there should be special rules for returning cheaters on lan and that is they don't get to bring their own hardware. Mouse, keyboard, and headset will be provided for them.

[@HajileMalach]

Mouse, keyboard and headset are already all provided by the LAN organisers.

[@NinaadNandedkar]

I remember playing on Sostronk (Indian Faceit) and used to have Tyloo players in the lobby in my team they always knew he was hacking. When Optic came to India, they had trials for the team and everybody in the semi pro scene knew the trials were just a pretense and the team was already decided. His teammates in Optic India once substituted themselves in an Indian tournament against us in the first round when they were losing 9-2 and beat us 16-14 and went on to win the Tournament only for them to be DQ'd later.

@@Kurookie It reminds me of Dasani in England and why that failed. Orgs not wanting to attempt again is now on them. They are the ones no longer partaking.

[@baldwintheanchorite]

A 5 year ban is pretty standard if you compare to bans in other sports codes for like doping or throwing or testing positive for recreational drugs. Very rarely do sports ever dish out lifetime bans and often it is a case of matchfixing which will incur that sort of permanent outcome so I would actually say it's pretty on par with what we see elsewhere. Secondly, it's actually ESIC, Esports Integrity Commission who is responsible for the investigation and the recommendation of the ban length. So it's not a decision made by Valve. Edit: Ian Smith , the commissioner at ESIC was quoted as saying that he hopes he never sees forsaken in professional cs again.

Lifetime ban wont solve thing. It might be hard to accept, but 5 years is very long time in sport, specially in one where age matters. Those 5 years lost and shadow on him, will be hauntig him forever. Its very unlikely any decent team will want him in, as there is no way of telling if he do it again. Cheating is corruption of mind simillar to drug addiction. Can he accept his fails, or look for shortcut again...hard to say.
