So here’s another case where the community volunteers tens of hours of their own time to do the RGL anti cheat’s job for them (which we understand, they’re understaffed and there’s a lot of cases to check), but like can the AC team (which self admittedly has NO ways to detect cheats besides visual inspection) just use the sample of clips gathered here and make a decision? Not saying that they should take the word of the ppl that have posted the clips alone (they should also confirm it), but it seems like combing through the clips would be the most time-consuming part. And meanwhile, another playoff bracket is ruined for the vast majority of the teams if yen is determined to be cheating.
It just seems crazy that there’s consistently 0 transparency about anything regarding the cheating situations that happen pretty much every season at this point, and they get left until it’s way to late to fix anything unless the teams literally stop playoffs from happening (which we can’t do anymore). As was said last season with the Kryma situation, cheating accusations need to be dealt with before playoffs because even if yen gets banned and REAL get their matches revoked, now the bracket is just completely fucked and it’s too late to go back and replay everything.
If you compare this to literally any other game where cheating is involved, no tournament organizer has a problem with saying “player X failed to pass this Anticheat protocol, they are being investigated”, then the player gets temporarily removed from the roster until they’re cleared. Yeah some people could get witch-hunted but then the anticheat team can just make a statement clearing them once the job is done. Instead we do the opposite, nobody has any info, so the teams playing with the potential cheaters are like fuck it, we will keep this guy playing until RGL tells us otherwise, and then by the time the guy gets banned playoffs is over. Remember, yen was reported LAST SEASON and we’re still dealing with this shit now.
