attempts to massively discredit the AK, which we ourselves chose...
When will you understand that there is no need to discredit anything? :) It has already been done, and by the AK itself :) Why? I already wrote about it in my previous post. I wrote about how it is done in similar situations in other tournaments. Here, however, the AK is sticking to its decision. Moreover, my question about why exactly disqualification from the tournament was chosen was ignored. Why not a temporary ban, or a ban from the World Championship? Where is it clearly stated what punishment is for what violation? If the rules stated that opening a save file on a player's computer results in disqualification from the tournament, everything would be perfectly clear. But there isn't.
Guessing about the motives of people who made one decision or another is a thankless task. But this decision by the AK definitely indicates one thing: a biased attitude of the AK towards Alex. No matter what is written here about how someone would be banned in a similar situation, I am 95% sure that with a confirmed report, especially since the opponent was aware of the situation and still confirmed the report, this would not even be discussed.
Now, voices are saying that we shouldn't let the AK be wronged, that they shouldn't change their decision, otherwise this and that will happen. Guys, if the AK stubbornly sticks to its stubbornness and doesn't admit its own mistake, then this will be very dangerous, believe me. Only gods are infallible, and if a person begins to think of himself as a god, then there is only one path.
By the way, regarding the timing of the investigation. Here, too, the AK showed absolute unprofessionalism. They investigated the situation behind closed doors for a month and a half. They couldn't figure it out themselves. That is, (I'm not afraid to say it) they were afraid to make a decision on their own. They decided to post the materials on a third-party forum, thinking that the heroic community, as in the case of Vitaly, would unanimously side with the prosecution. But the opposite happened. Apart from the fanatical false patriots of the Hive, no one spoke out against Alex. Then, seeing that the result was turning out to be exactly the opposite of what was expected, the AK quickly made this decision, without waiting for the discussion to end. Guys, honestly, you can't do that. You are discrediting yourselves to such an extent...
P.S. The ability to admit one's mistakes is the best quality a person can have, it's the highest level. Stubbornness is the complete opposite.
