JUDGMENT

I believe that rules are rules, and if they are broken, the consequences should be faced. However, in this case, we are talking about a player from Heroes 4, and there aren't many of them. If any leniency is to be granted, it should be decided not by all of us, but by the participants and organizers of the tournament where the cheating occurred. LeSHiJ-MaX, it's clear that a violation took place, but what you're saying is slightly exaggerated. The fact that he was looking for codes for Heroes 3 is true, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. The fact that he was looking for an opponent doesn't automatically imply that he will cheat extensively. And he might encounter someone who does the same! Let them compete (imagine a battle in the second week: 1000 Azure Dragons each :)), but after playing once under these conditions, no one will want to play with him again, and he should understand that. The forum won't suffer from this, as the players only played against each other. If the tournament were organized by the administration, the situation would be clear - a two-step ban! But in this case, the organizers and participants should be the ones to judge: 1) Because the tournament is amateur. 2) Because many participants have expressed support for giving him a second chance. But in any case, LeSHiJ-MaX, I understand that this is most unpleasant for the organizers, so removing his candidacy from this tournament is a reasonable punishment.
