In the previous heated debate, we discussed (by the way, I think Vic was pushing this idea) that you can play against a cheater with an open map (by cheating yourself).
I think Rebel might have done this in a game against Black Knight, whom most serious players consider a cheater.
Although, in the Rebel-Pit game, I doubt he was cheating (I know Rebel personally – he's a normal guy, without any malice).
Therefore, the lesson for the future for everyone is – it's better not to cheat against cheaters; let it be on their conscience, although you can raise a fuss and talk openly about your suspicions – for me, it's Oelm, Britvotchka, and now Fell from FB-6 has been added, who played with two instances of the game running when playing against Spiel.
Regarding the tournament – it needs to be finished; otherwise, it will severely damage the global Heroes community. As it is, it's good PR and attracts more players. For example, almost no one knows about the Koreans, Americans, and Brazilians, but believe me, they can easily beat any of our "daddies."
Regarding Rebel – I would advise only to remove him from the World Championship (which they already did, and it would be awkward to bring him back), but not to impose any other sanctions or penalties.
