Ban during finals of monthly automated tournament

Sounds like incompetence to me.

Doesn't matter if it was incompetence or not, no need to take the match off obs mode

That has gotta suck there. Sadly I missed it

HAHAHAHA.

Wow, that's ridiculous.

I don't understand why it was taken down. There have been plenty of matches on obs where someone has been Dhuum'ddd

They aren't finals of the mAT though

Might want to blur those names out.........

Seems a bit off that Anet would ban someone just for using bad language. Unless they were bypassing the profanity filter. There has to be more to it than just that.

Congratz Anet on ruining an entire MaT!

Owned.

I am looking forward to witnessing this firsthand some time this winter during the Snowball ATs.

I`ve missed it !

/slap Anet

Any link?^^

darn.. i still havent seen anyone get dhuumed ig. guess i got to get out of the spanish/japanese distrcts?

Thank you Sir!

Word

If that player was doing something against the rules, and got banned for it, then it isn't really Anet's fault. It's the player's fault. Can't blame Anet cause someone was breaking the rules and Anet did their job.

It was the player who ruined an entire MaT, not Anet.

lawl epic. I do so love their timing.

But really Lemming, it was that players fault for breaking the rules. They caused their own team this, not ANET. No one should get special treatment if they break the rules, even if they are in the MAT finals.

It would have been nice to ban him after, not in the middle of the game. I know, this should be kind of example, but still ..

QFT!

I was in a GvG match way back in 2005, (when my guild did that sort of thing), and some of our opponents' names were really, really sick and disgusting. One of those names I'll never forget, it was so bad. And the language that they used was perfectly vile. They sucked at GvG and we whipped 'em in under 5 minutes, but it would have been nice if Dhuum was around to do his thing. We reported them the old fashioned way and they were never heard from again. The moral of the story: If you don't want to get your account banned, DON'T VIOLATE THE EULA.

Lolwut...?

For a second there I thought this was about another pool elitist's [this time smaller] cheating "revealed", like the time they did the mass bannings after they'd buffed a bunch of interrupts that supplied the interrupt bots for a while... until Dhuum started going to work!

About the ban, though: they had to have been cursing their heads off or violating the EULA in a MAJOR way to merit being banned right in the middle of a tourney! Both winning and trolling has become too important that it's taken the place of "good sportsmanship" entirely. I wouldn't be surprised one bit if GW chat during tourneys were exactly like reading up on 4chan or encyclopedia dramatica when you skim through the in-game chat logs.

eh idc if the player broke the EULA or not, dont penalize the team in the middle of a MAT. Do it after or before the match, not when however many people are watching it. There is a difference about doing your job and being an @$$.

Thats almost saying a bank robber who is in actuallity a big time football player playing in a final asking "hey can you arrest me after this match I dont want to be embaressed when xx amount of people are watching me".

You break with the rules you pay the consquences, not whenever its convenient for the perpetrator, simples.
