1. Why did this only come up after 2.5 months?

because accusing a player of cheating requires more than just one match. I told Black Knight that 2.5 months ago.

it's really funny

no, it's not funny. I won't extend the tournament for 2 months; that's too long. It's actually funnier to give a win in the semi-finals without a game!

now, regarding moving Pete from the lower bracket to the upper bracket. He played against a cheater and lost in an unfair match, and since there's still time, I can change the situation, unlike Black and Yarzap's games. I think this is a fair decision. For example, you can look at cycling races where those who came in second can be awarded gold medals half a year later because the winner was caught doping.
