Details:
Oelm was caught red-handed loading saves without an opponent present during a pause. The game against Twaryna was in the Only HL tournament. The match was played in several stages: the first save was at 117, after a long break they continued and finished up to 126, they agreed to pause for a few hours and continue on the same day. Oelm saved the game.
Upon returning, Twaryna asked to load the save, and when he entered Oelm's host, he found the following:
Saves against the AI are visible from the date of the pause. Let's look at the time - 23:50.
For comparison, here is the save against Twaryna:
Again, let's look at the time - 22:03.
It is clear that during the break (some time after pausing at 126), Oelm loaded saves of the unfinished match offline. These screenshots were taken from Twaryna's stream; here is the link http://ru.twitch.tv/twaryna/b/362073213. Many people watched this game; there are enough witnesses.
What we have: a blatant fact of opening saves before the end of the match, which is strictly prohibited by the rules. (see - No one has the right to open saves of an unfinished match except for the judge/tournament host or a member of the AC, and only in case of a controversial situation in the match).
The game continued (as can be seen from the stream). Twaryna and viewers had reasonable suspicions. Twaryna asked Oelm to explain these strange saves and send them so they could somehow figure out the unpleasant situation. His response puzzled everyone: he simply didn't respond, and Oelm quickly disappeared during the conversation.
He appeared again after a couple of days, giving completely confused and incoherent explanations, the essence of which was that he did load the save, but (!) just to look at it and focus:smile28:, and then he left his computer, and the timer counted down 4 days, making a save at the end of the turn... :smile39:. When asked why he disappeared so quickly without answering, he cited poor health (fever). Twaryna asked him to send the saves, and after some time, the saves were sent and transferred to the AC. It turned out that at 126, Oelm moved his Heroes around, and then nothing happened - it looked as if the timer really just counted down and made a save. We strongly felt that the saves were faked (there was plenty of time for this), mainly because the saved games (specifically 126) and the save in the screenshot differed in time by exactly 1 hour (presumably Oelm either didn't know or was simply careless), and also because Oelm perfectly understood that the saves no longer meant anything (as he clearly stated in the conversation). He is right. They don't mean anything anymore. It would have been worth looking at them directly during the stream, while there was no opportunity to fake them, but, as we know, Oelm took the only possible action for himself – he simply went offline.
Further.
We had a conversation with him, in which I asked him to explain the situation. His line was very clear to me. He said that he did it to concentrate on a specific game moment (it was a turning point in the game), because he knew that the match was decisive - for getting out of the group. How he "concentrated" will remain a mystery to all of us. And from him, I learned that he considers this behavior acceptable and has always done so and will continue to do so "with the consent of the opponent" (his words), saying that loading saves of a paused match is normal.
Of course, they were playing without password-protected saves.
Naturally, the question arises: why did he make such a mistake if he could just look at the map? Indeed, why? Apparently, he has a certain moral barrier, and opening the map in the editor is shameful, but loading against the AI and moving his units around a bit to check things is a worthy act by a player aiming for victory.
As a result, we have documented evidence of opening saves before the end of the match, which is already considered maphacking. No one in the AC can vouch for this player or accept his version about "loading to simply think." This is further aggravated by extremely inappropriate behavior in this particular situation – disappearing instead of answering, followed by referring to poor health/illness – this is a classic pattern of behavior for people who have something to hide. Plus, we most likely have faked saves, i.e., lies. Plus, there is a clear statement that he considers such an action normal and has resorted to it many times.
P.S. Play with password-protected saves, gentlemen, and sleep soundly!

Пусть мой враг будет силен и страшен. Если я поборю его, то не буду чувствовать стыда.
