Any word on an update for what's going to happen? It's quite a long time to leave it all up in the air.
1TIM broke PC when he heard admin decision, he got very angry and broke pc and now cant play..
Honestly speaking, I think this warrants a vote of no-confidence in the admins.
Look, the situation very simply is this: No-one is saying that the Teutons game was played normally; it very clearly wasn't. Now the question is: was it because Tim wanted to prop a fellow Chinese player, or was it because these are two players who are familiar enough with each other to feel comfortable to play less formally and to try crazy stuff against each other?
I don't think anyone can claim with any degree of certainty to be able to do better than to say that both explanations are equally likely.
Now the real question is: given that there is no proof, what gives the admins the right to take such a drastic, straight-to-three-strikes action, completely bypassing the sponsors, neglecting non-Chinese instances of similar stuff (Viper trolling, 8th Wonder Pers-douching, etc.), alienating the Chinese AOC community, and jeopardising the involvement of such a popular player in the future? This reeks of absolute incompetence, and frankly, the admins need to be put on notice.
That's my opinion at least.

The original penalty was for the results of the games not to count, but for both players to be allowed to remain in the tournament. Do you really believe this would be the penalty for match fixing? Or, is it more likely that they would be completely disqualified and possibly banned from some or all future tournaments? The original penalty tried to balance the fact that the match-fixing was unprovable against protecting the integrity of the tournament, it wasn't straight-to-three-strikes at all, and, if it was too harsh (which I'd agree it was) then that was acknowledged by putting it to the community.

I fully agree with you but oh boy, watch out for Taff religion brigade. For many faith followers here he is true god of AOC, anything he says or does can't be questioned or reasoned.
