Leaving Heroes of Might and Magic in protest of Alex’s removal from the Facebook group.

The unacceptable action that occurred on Alex's computer is not considered cheating, but rather unacceptable behavior of a fan/example: fans destroying a stadium – the management of the team whose fans did it is responsible.

Yes, a good argument. How could I not have figured it out myself, a direct analogy.

In football, such episodes (a match being stopped by the referee due to unacceptable fan behavior) are resolved by awarding a technical defeat and disqualifying the stadium. But not the team!

Furthermore, Alex is accused of disrespecting his opponent. Such claims should be dealt with exclusively upon the request of the injured party. But there was no such request, moreover, the opponent confirmed the report.

In essence, the AK (Arbitration Committee) only considered the fact of cheating. Which, as follows from the vote on the World Championship, was not confirmed.

That is, if such a case were considered, for example, in the KDK (Control and Disciplinary Committee in Russian football), then most likely no sanctions would follow at all – due to the absence of a statement from the injured party and due to the absence of a positive doping test result.

Are you even reading the topic?

The fact of maphacking is only visible to Pete, Dubrovin, and a small number of overly enthusiastic fans.
