Well, participate now, maybe you can change someone's opinion. Just please, no hysterics.

I participated as best as I could, managed to write 3 posts, and express my point of view there along with arguments. I didn't see any counterarguments, except for some vague mumbling.

Now it doesn't make sense to try to convince them, the Arbitration Committee (AK) has closed the issue.

Plus, I don't have access to the internal AK discussion of this situation, and without knowing the course of their thinking, it's difficult to point out a flawed logical transition.

And who voted how is also unknown; perhaps the logic of the reasoning was based on aspects not directly related to the situation being discussed.

For example, maybe someone in the AK thinks that Britva is a cheater, but doesn't think the arguments in the episode are sufficient for a ban, and prefers to wait until he is caught more clearly.

Or maybe there are some friendly connections with Britva or unfriendly connections with Valenko.

Or, for example, someone thinks that Valenko also cheated, so you can't punish only one, and the topic of punishing both at once hasn't been raised.

Or the AK was hesitant to make a decision that was the opposite of the voting results. Although at least half of those who voted did so before all the arguments were presented, and some changed their decision during the process.

And so on... there are many options, and I don't know which one worked.

Once again, the AK's opinion did not coincide with the opinion of our guru, hence the conclusion - the AK is worthless.

I am right too often to not trust my opinion or to trust it less than the opinion of others. I've already forgotten when I last made a fundamental mistake regarding Heroes-related issues.

Plus, there is an observation that my opinion correlates well with the opinion of skilled, authoritative, and simply intelligent Heroes players. And it correlates poorly with the opinion of the so-called "bottom" of the Heroes community. Therefore, it's not pleasing when the AK takes a position opposite to mine, because it starts to smell like bottom-of-the-barrel stuff.

I have a holistic understanding of Heroes, Heroes players, and the esports theme in general. I share pieces of this understanding here and there in forum discussions. Those who need it will read it and build their own understanding.
