Quote From The Maelk Team Leader of MYM Dota

Whether Ks did or did not maphack isn't really the case any longer. The real issue at hand is how the administrators of myMYM dealt with this issue.

Before I'll start my share of things, I urge everyone that has spewed out their anger towards Ks not giving it any second thought before flaming them, to apologize, edit their post or in some other way retract their past opinion of them. After all, aren't we all innocent until proven guilty?

First off, a timeline of how things went down and who was involved is probably needed:

---

[1P] is dumbstruck by the fact that they just lost with a perfect combination of heroes and a fairly early radiance on Spectre. To a ridiculously bad 5v5-lineup consisting of what seems to be true 'joke picks' even (See Sweden versus Kazakstan). Obviously, this can only be explained by their opponents hacking.

The Greek team continues to inform the administrators of this outrage and expects justice to happen (remove Ks from the tournament and have [1P] proceed instead).

Administrators doesn't take such allegations lightly and decides to look into the matter. To solve the situation, TeG-Snake - best known for his past success at the Greek LAN-party 'Bits'n'bites' which he won with his team of Greek friends, none other than [1P] - offers his services.

Meanwhile, another administrator asks several respected community-members for their professional opinion. These names includes, besides Snake himself, Lego (IHCS Head Administrator), Metro (Former D-A Competitive Section Leader) and also confronts a few players within the organization with the evidence namely slahser and myself, Maelk. Others might have been included, too.

I won't go into details about who of the others confirmed their suspicion of them maphacking - and I don't blame them. However, S1rro was told by both slahser and myself not to go live with this accusations as the evidence was vague at best and the replay-viewer was commonly known to often include bugs. Instead, we urged him to at least wait for them to play other matches to check up on these games and keep an eye out for them - Nothing wrong with monitoring a particular team's games.

Apparently, and this is by all means my own impression of things, Snake pushed S1rro hard on the matter and claimed to have talked to anti-cheat experts, getting confirmations from GGC-Admins about Ks not being on LAN together and so forth. From past experience, S1rro has been a fair and levelheaded guy always wanting was righteous and fair and I can only believe that he was truly convinced of their guilt thus going live this despite having been recommended not to.

[1P] is informed about the administrators final decision and is asked to schedule their match with kM as soon as possible. The news goes live, as does hell for both Ks and later on, the administrators behind the decision. To make the whole thing even more ironic, kM is fast to take down the hotheaded Greeks and defeats them in what can only be explained with them using hacks. Seemingly, those who had caused unjust certainly felt what true justice was all about.

All this in a matter of 2 days?

With all these informations roughly taken from within my thick skull, a remembrance of how it all happened through my eyes, one could be fast to agree that the administrators acted too abruptly and should have though twice before clearing up this matter. I guess they didn't want to hesitate in something they seemed so certain of.

Obviously, if their innocence is somehow proven, Snake and S1rro will be forced to resign. However, I don't think that is necessarily the best solution. With Snake, yes, I'll be the first one to kick him out on his ass and feet, but S1rro is one of the best things that has happened to myMYM and its PriDe tournaments since TaZz was around, god bless his soul. He's overly devoted and I doubt we would have as many as well as smooth tournaments going without his contribution. Critics would call him biased, but he's really not. He's fair and, for the most part, takes a lot of time to think things through and get all sides of the matter before reaching a decision. When people says he's been bad in past decisions, I bid you to ask yourselves this: Did he not just follow the rules, that the teams agreed to upon signing up? It's hard to go wrong if you're acting according to them. Regardless of what happens, I truly hope he somehow ends up staying - Cause I enjoy playing PriDe and Prime - And a big part of those happens thanks to him.
Closing up, I'd like to stress that I don't know whether they are innocent or not. I think they're clean. I hope they're clean. What I do know is that things was rushed with too little evidence too soon and that some of the people behind the decision was incapable of judging in a such important matter.
