Our approach is: beat your own, so the others will be afraid.
Spot on!
Rebel isn't just some player who suddenly appeared out of nowhere and started showing amazing results. He's been on the portal since 2004 and on this forum since 2007. He has more than enough experience to win several major tournaments. But what's happening? I don't remember Rebel ever finishing in the top 2 in a tournament on the portal in 8 years (maybe I'm wrong – correct me, I've been online since 2007). What does this say? He has enough experience, he always plays at a high level, but maybe something isn't working out, or maybe the draw was unfavorable. BUT if he had the same ambition for victory as the Chinese, we would have been analyzing Rebel's case for a long time. There is a will to win (which is evident in the length of time he's been playing Heroes), but experience shows that fair play is still Hiro's top priority. In 8 years, we have NEVER doubted Rebel's fair play :confused:. As I understand it, there are even more obvious examples of cheating in this tournament with fewer consequences. And then, suddenly, a couple of episodes and that's it – the verdict. As in a famous comedy: "For all these 8 years, Gorbunkov successfully pretended to be an honest and respectable family man." ;) Of course, Rebel's slightly hysterical reaction to the accusations at the beginning is a bit puzzling, but then he seems to present reasonable arguments.
Vik, if we draw an analogy with the mafia, maybe the player is inexperienced in this situation and therefore doesn't know how to behave properly?)
Isn't that funny? It's not even clever – in such a game, with SO much attention, against SUCH an opponent with such a lobby, to use cheats? :D
