Joshua "Grouch" Davis hat gerade im offiziellen Forum verkündet, dass das Team Majestic Capricorn, welches im europäischen World Tournament Series Qualifier angetreten ist, von eben diesem Turnier nun ausgeschlossen wurde. Eine interne Untersuchung von ArenaNet hat ergeben, dass andere nicht angemeldete Spieler die Accounts der registrierten Member während des Qualifiers bentuzt haben.
Da die offiziellen Regeln hierbei verletzt wurden, werden das gesamte Team und alle involvierten Spieler disqualifiziert. Das Nachholspiel zwischen OrangeLogo und Majestic Capricorn, welches den zweiten Teilnehmer neben TCG für die WTS bestimmen sollte und wegen DDos-Attacken abgebrochen wurde, wird dementsprechend nicht ausgetragen.
OrangeLogo bekommt den Platz neben TCG für das wichtige Turnier in Köln. Majestic Capricorn muss sich zudem von allen möglichen Preisen verabschieden.
ZitatAlles anzeigenAfter a thorough internal investigation it has become very clear that the players who signed up to play on the roster of “Majestic Capricorns” in the European World Tournament Series Invitational Qualifiers were not the ones who actually participated in the event, violating a number of rules regarding eligibility as well as Section 9 of the Guild Wars 2 User Agreement.
Additionally, the Majestic Capricorns have also violated the following World Tournament Series rules:
- Players who engage in unsportsmanlike, disruptive, annoying, harassing or threatening conduct or violate any rule, gain unfair advantage, or attempt to obtain winner status using fraudulent means, including, without limitation, cheating, hacking, deception, or other unfair practices, in Tournament Organizer/Administrator’s reasonable discretion, will be disqualified.
- By participating, players understand and acknowledge that the Tournament Entities are responsible for all aspects of this Tournament, and that the Guild Wars 2 User Agreement and Rules of Conduct shall apply.
As a result of the aforementioned rule violations, the following actions will be taken:
- Effective immediately, team “Majestic Capricorns” and all players directly involved in the deception described above are hereby disqualified from the World Tournament Series.
- Majestic Capricorns forfeit all pending rewards for tournament participation.
- The Majestic Capricorns forfeit their match against team Orange Logo. Orange Logo will move on to the World Tournament Series Finals in Cologne.
Fairness in competitive play is something we believe in very strongly at ArenaNet and as such we are taking this violation very seriously. Our investigation into this matter will be ongoing and additional penalties may be levied at our sole discretion.
Thanks,
Joshua “Grouch” Davis
ArenaNet Competitive Events Manager
