RE: Lastchance vs. Mayi ESL Decision

Posted by enc|mike at 14:12, 28/1/2005

Below is the actual statement from myself in regards to the match between Lastchance and Mayi. This is 100% copy/paste from my final message on the protest ticket so please feel free to flame me etc for my comments as im sure the UK Terrrorist community get fun out of on everything thats posted here on UKT.

--

Hi Lastchance,
hi MaYi,

I've spoken with a member of AnTs this morning on IRC already about the outcome of this match etc but I would just like to also say a brief outline of the conclusion to this match to both teams here.

As there isn’t enough evidence to backup the accusation of the player "HelloKitty" using cheats in the form of a full 1st and 2nd half POV Demo, i see no alternative than to grant Lastchance with a default win. I would like to stress once again that any HLTV footage is not usable in any way or form for cheat accusations.

The reason for this default is for not being able to comply with rule 7.6.3 (Requested match media after strong suspicion of cheating). This does not mean the player cheats or has been caught cheating in any way or form. This means that as the 2nd half demo is not available for viewing, as the demo being the centre of attention in this protest was not recorded.

Personally, I’m disgraced at the level of accusations given to the player and the team from UK community sites like UK Terrorist and I feel very ashamed to be apart of something like that. Players see a couple of big UK names post comments and all jump on the bandwagon, agreeing with them without even having seen a shred of actual evidence. This truly shows the maturity within the current UK Scene. I suggest members of the UKs top teams meeting together to see if they can make an agreement or pact etc to try and work on the level of the UK Scene and build it up from what it currently is.

I cannot stress how important it is in the ESL to take POV demos in EVERY MATCH you play. As the accusations from the UK scene have been so bad since this match I have decided to be as strict as I am within the ESL German and International Ladders so I suggest you all read up on the rules page before playing any more matches. I will be giving full Penalty Points to any offending teams in either the CSCL UK Qualifier or the ESL UK Cup that break the rules. From now on, everyone will see the true extent of ESL and how the UK Scene at its current state will deal with a professional league like ESL is yet to be known.

Protest closed.

Best regards,
Mike, ESL Admin

I hope you agree with what i have said above and that you keep your opinions to yourself until actual evidence is seen.

I think it was a fair decision, if you're going to carry like that, surely you'd feel obliged to demo, just incase someone did throw up a accusation. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

that was fine up until your 4th paragraph. Why does ESL care what comments are made, the only people they should worry about are the players /organisations of the teams that played. everyone elses opinions are exactly that, opinions, and why you've felt the need to comment on the 'uk scene' is beyond me; you've made your decision, there was no need to justify it or comment about anything outside of it. No one 'jumped on the bandwagon' as far as I can tell, and if they did - like i say, why should it bother you? There is no professional UK scene, apart from to those people who wish there was one. In my eyes professional CS has no more of a future than womens football : played by some, watched by fewer, with no possible way of bringing it to the masses due to its very nature. How can you possibly 'work on the level of the UK Scene and build it up from what it currently is' when there is nothing there in the first place...?

Anyway back to my original point - this post is merely a dig at UKT rather than having any substantial weight, it should really be deleted but hey, like you say, some people might find it fun. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

i think mikes got this one wrong about us all jumping on the bandwagon i think you dont give us credit where its due.The fact that it was lastchance just made the game more high profile but they DID cheat and the community knows it to and this time im sorry to say the witch hunt was correct.

Lastchance lost to synergy i believe in CSGN which at the time was also a shock and everyone watched the HLTV demos of that one and conceeded that snergy played fair and just played well where as in this case its was plain to see imho that these guys were hiding alot more than their demos.

its kind of obvious when players dont make any mistakes, even the best players in the world get things wrong from time to time. i havent even seen the demos or avi's im just stating the what should be obvious. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

even top teams in the world accuse less known clans cheats just because there less known doesnt make them any less legit or any less skilled.

they just havent been able to attract the right sponsership or organisation to back them to show on either international level or at to the events to show there skill

edit: not saying mayi in this situation didnt cheat and i belive lc does have the better judgement in this situation but just thought id say at times it does happen

agree with decision.

simple rule to stop most of this....

Every single player MUST produce a demo, not just players accused, EVERY player, from EVERY team.

That way, no one will risk cheating, or even if they do they wont be able to make a detrimental effect by doing obvious things.

"Oh but i cant record a demo because of fps drops" - bs, no demo, you dont play.

"Damn, my demo didnt record" - tough, if 99% of people can get demo recording right, you can too.


Why CSGN,ESL,CSCL et al yada yada dont enforce this i dont know, a demo of one half of an MR15 game when winRAR'd isnt big.

That way i belive we'd get a fairer (to an extent) game. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

i dont think anyone is jumping on the 'bandwagon' because a few players have thrown some accusations around. out of everyone who has played any ants team over the last few years, be it in a pcw or in an ed match, MOST left the server feeling cheated in some way or another.

i personally can recall many matches against ants and always feeling something wasn't quite right and those hltv demo's haven't changed my view in the slightest. i still think the same of them and i would never want to play them online and if i did it certainly wouldn't be on an unsecure server.

What Mike was trying to say was Mayi where in the wrong. But were never proved of cheating. A decision has been made and it's final. He just didn't want to ruin Mayis reputation for evidence that does not exsist.

Don't talk to anybody about breaking rules CAI. You are the one who loaded up cheats onto your computer to gain an unfair advantage because you're a 24/7 CS Head and you're bollocks at it aswell!!! nicely done at Unicon on LAN lad, I was well impressed with your performance!

It's quite funny how, you break the BIGGEST rule in CS, the one that go's without saying... Yet you come across as this CS Law abiding citizen to make you look great infront of the UKT-Possy but instead you are on the same level as all those other s*** head cheaters.


why are people still chattin s*** about this Lastchance v syNergy game? We played them,we played well, we got a well earned victory from it.
hey, we even got s*** loads of mouse pads from it aswell... (ty r1ck)

now for a team, as 's***' as synergy, why would it only take 1 player to beat lastchance? Clans have played against Lastchance for seasons and seasons in CSGN and still not come out with a result as great as ours, yet its frowned upon because we apparently had a illegal usage of mercage, which is totally bollocks.
We practiced very hard comin up to csgn and we got rewarded sufficiantly, not only are we the first team in CSGN to beat lastchance, we are the only team.

Now CAI, If this was your team that beat lastchance you would still have it in your topic, like you do now, about the UKCSL season 4. That league was crap but you must be so proud of winning it, cos its still there!
