Catch

Regarding the topic at hand, yes, the decision is disappointing. Techport is undoubtedly a strong player, but disqualifying him from the tournament feels like "we tried to prove he was cheating, but we failed, so to avoid looking foolish, we decided to impose some kind of sanction."
That's exactly how it is. The decision is completely incomprehensible. By the way, as I understand it, there are 7 people on the Arbitration Committee? Can you announce the entire list? And who voted how? It would just be interesting for the community to know about its heroes.
Alex has left, of course (i.e., the result is similar to the World Championship), and the other top players will follow, competition will decrease, and there will be less incentive to improve skills... perhaps it's time for me to leave too -- I'll just finish the matches I promised to play. My decision is not a demonstration; I don't consider myself a strong player. Voldu, I wish you all the best as a resource and thank you for developing our favorite game.
It seems that the members of the Arbitration Committee can't see beyond their own noses. Besides the fact that many people will simply leave the Hive, and the games on smaller maps will start again, Alex is unlikely to stream his games anymore. Who will lose out because of this? Surely not him? I think those who watch and learn will suffer.
And regarding the decision, I think there is still a small chance that the Arbitration Committee will reconsider. Especially in the run-up to the CIS championship. We don't need any more division among the players.
Yes, and regarding the swearing and insults. I think anyone who wasn't cheating would first try to explain their position normally, but after a week or a month of constant questioning and rehashing, they would react in a similar way, if not on the open forum, then in a private chat for sure.
