"only XL-5"

It's no secret that hosts have been able to edit random map generators (RMGs) since the technology was introduced. Back in the day, they even played with chaos rules, where there was one RMG for three templates. Why is this issue being raised specifically in this tournament? :confused: Well, if someone is willing to cross the fine line of cheating, nothing stops them from watching streams, editing templates, cracking passwords, etc. In the past, they even played without passwords.

Why not in the third game? :confused:

To gain an advantage from modifying the text file for a specific template, you need to understand something about generation. I think most people, like me, don't understand anything about it. Therefore, although this possibility theoretically exists in any game, in practice it is difficult and the risk of being caught is much higher.

In this specific case, the situation is significantly different. You don't need any knowledge of generation to simply change the name without touching the template. As far as I understand, it is extremely difficult to detect this, if it is even possible - the template is generated absolutely correctly.

I want to believe that there are some ways to detect the use of this trick that are not widely known. But will someone who knows check the generations after the game? I doubt it...
