The accusations against him were laid out in a clear and professional manner -- the response was not in kind. An awful precedent will be set if the tournament continues with him in it, and while it hasn't been 100% proven that he cheated, the evidence is extremely overwhelming.
In fact, that awful precedent has already been set. JCB just took the lead by asking to play in the tournament again, even though he is still trying to lie to the DK community by setting up a stream at Twitch and playing under a new identity. His further attempts to mislead the CAG community prove that his apologies are hollow. |
I want to make one thing clear: JCB was asked to post in this thread about that issue. So, people ganging up on him (don't care about his past infractions) should stop doing that for this matter. I have no idea why he was asked to do it or in the matter that it was done. This only seems to have made things into a circus show.
I do agree that Kernzy didn't make much of an effort to prove his innocence, but at the same time he didn't make much of an effort to disprove his guilt, either. Instead, he tarnished himself with how he carried his actions.
Kernzy, before you blow up on me. I am not saying you falsified your scores. And even if you did, i don't care. I don't care about anyone's accomplishments.
Me personally, i wouldn't ask my brother to play in this tourney and i would never have him submit scores if he wasn't a huge gamer. There were many small things that didn't seem right, but again, I still can't prove anything as much as i can disprove things.
I choose not to get involved in the decision making process of who stays and who goes but i will say that there has been a bit too much passiveness in these matters and they are being dragged out a bit much. A decision needs to be made.
If the bar was set for Cheetah then the bar should be met with dq'n kernzy for not providing enough evidence. Unfortunately, bringing in relatives who have no means of submitting scores other than his house, makes him instantly responsible for them and any infraction on them will, undoubtedly and unfortunately, reflect onto him. And yes, as noobies to this, we should have been clearer with the rules. To be expected from a first-run scenario.
