...he didn't break any rules, but simply acted within the rules applicable at the time of the game?

I found this topic too late, after I had already posted in the tournament thread.
Too bad.
But now the position is clear, i.e., someone seriously believes that it was permissible to act in this way.

So, the question is: is there any mention in the rules that you cannot watch/listen to your opponent's stream? And if there is no such mention, what does that mean – that you can watch it, and it's within the rules? But it's obviously not allowed!

How is this "lag bug," pardon me, any better than peeking at your opponent's stream? In my opinion, it's worse because it can't be countered by anything, not even brilliant gameplay combined with incredible luck and divine intuition.

And the argument that "it's not explicitly stated in the rules" is no longer valid in this analogy.

There's just a general consensus about streams, and everyone respects it.
But here, there are just some childish excuses.
So, I will definitely watch and report the streams of everyone who defended Reddit, until it is explicitly prohibited in the rules.)))))
