H2k deliver WES Masters protest

H2k Gaming have handed in a protest to the WES Masters Cup admins which could see Evil Geniuses miss out on the final.

The American team earned a spot in the Grand Final after beating H2k 2-1 in the semis, but the Swedish side delivered a protest after the match.

Tyler "Storm" Wood of EG forgot to press tab while taking smoke screenshots, which is believed to be against the rules, though in the tournament rulebook there is nothing on the matter.

Should the admins rule in H2k Gaming's favour, it means Evil Geniuses will most likely get a default loss, and have to play for the third place, while the Swedish side would get a showdown with cbteam in the final.

?>
I like H2K but this is just bitching around.
2010-02-28 21:40:58
Well, given the history of the H2K organization, the team is probably expecting to be dropped if they get anything less than 1st place-_-
2010-02-28 21:50:25
hahah truee....old h2k > new h2k
2010-02-28 22:12:31
false, but well h2k is known not to let their squads evolve, they usually want immediate results :)
2010-02-28 22:20:12
There's nothing like that. Rules are rules even for kings.
2010-02-28 23:54:16
agreed
2010-02-28 21:57:56
WES Masters FAIL!!!! BOYCOT THIS ADMINS AND SH*T ORGA!!

To WES orga:
1. of course you have the right of make decisions
2. but being inconsequent is non forgivable!
3. LOL for banning one of the best teams in the world.

To other top teams:
1. just boycot these idiots!


GG EG, cbteam and playzone
GG H2k, and you were totally right by trying to get your victory over default win, because rules are rules.

bye bye WES, the end!

He has a demo, his screenshot with his smoke didn't have the scoreboard in it is the dispute.

Tyler's computer crashed during the match and he forgot to start Custodia again. H2k (like every other team in this tournament) agreed to let me play without Custodia cause we couldn't get it to work on my laptop.
2010-02-28 23:01:27
Yes Custodia itself doesn't tolerate some other programs. That could it be.

"Lame???? no demo = LOSE That's esport"

no demo? he just forgot the press tab while taking his screenshot...
2010-02-28 21:44:24
looks like some shitty second rate players are trying hard to get to the next level :)
2010-02-28 21:44:24
I guess that admins will have to make the decision themselves since it is not noted in the rulebook about this matter.

But EG is a proffesional team, they would never benefit on smoke especially when they are bootcamping.
2010-02-28 21:44:27
h2k lost, thats kind of lame if they rule in their favor
2010-02-28 21:45:40

Looks like 2 EG's dont have the anti-cheat program on www.custodia.biz/Match.aspx?ID=164279
2010-02-28 21:50:21
really think that EG would cheat?If they had,they would have overrun h2k so badly4sure.
Moreover,why would they cheat?What's the purpose?I get if some non-name clan comes and wants to get somewhere high with botlike team,but they are already at top and are in worlds top10.

WTF is custodia anticheat?

surely they dont cheat but its a must because its in the rules.
2010-02-28 22:06:10
rules are rules and it doesn't matter if they are top team or amateur team
2010-02-28 22:21:37
Alliance wasn't cheating yesterday, they gave them 2 direct loses even if they won the games, cuz Custodia was missing :)
2010-02-28 22:23:25
that's sick.i bet it was custodia's fault.
2010-02-28 22:31:40

2010-02-28 21:50:29
For everyone saying "rules are rules" on this - there actually is NOT a rule stating that a match must be forfeited if a player does not have the scoreboard in his screenshot.

The WESGG rule page is not extensive on this subject, and the only thing it states is that the WESGG admin assigned to the match is the sole person responsible for deciding each match on a case by case basis.

So the whole "rules are rules" argument actually doesn't even apply here. For each match, the admin is allowed to gauge the situation and decide what the appropriate course of action is.

Given that Storm had a demo, had a screenshot (without tab), was playing this match from a LAN center, and that H2K had no other proof or indications that he was using any exploit, the admins made the obvious choice.

It's a shame that these days, teams still try to get cheap wins instead of just accepting the fact that they've lost a match. Fortunately, the WESGG rules are flexible enough to allow admin discretion on these matters.

They can't win and they want to take this on "pussyiest way", I'm sorry but I must said that. Sport - fair play ; h2k didn't play fair, so they want finals and they don't deserve it :@

I dont really care about football, but like if anyone saw the Ireland V France qualifier Henry handballed it which could have ment that ireland got to the world cup. I'm not sure if they disputeted it but i know they didnt get to go to World Cup just like H2K shouldnt get to go to finals.
2010-02-28 21:59:45
in football it doesn't matter if they got video after match showing someone had broken rule, refere's decisions only during the match are important

in esport we got demos

2010-02-28 22:00:20
Not very surprising. h2k is a bunch of kids who always tries to advance on conflict
2010-02-28 22:01:05
.....its not in the tournament rulebook. stop talking about custodia bullshit, theyve been having problems with the program and the admins even said they could play without it. (ref. vs cbteam on d2) p.s. new h2k are a bunch of nerds.

if the custodia files are missing, thats rather sad that eg doesnt get an overturn match after alliance had 2 overturns. alliance played from a lan, and they didnt cheat, and they won a match 27-3. it was overturned to 20-10 in the other teams favor, doesnt seem fair that EG doesnt get the same punishment. not that i want EG to get a forfeit, but then they shoulda never overturned alliances matches.
2010-02-28 23:01:50

You all talk like this is a bad thing, call them sore losers. Since when is it bad to hate losing and doing everything you can to win?

H2k saw their window of opportunity in this and they took their shot. Good choice if you ask me.
2010-03-01 05:39:51
this is really sad whining from h2k..I didn't expect this from a bunch of good players....there is no reason whatsoever for eg to cheat especially when they are bootcamping.....

good decision by admins
2010-03-01 07:28:30
To say anyone was cheating in this tournament is silly. To say EG being an experienced team got taken to the wire by H2K and if it was at LAN I think H2K would of taken the win because they played some amazing rounds =]
2010-03-01 08:28:01
loled
2010-03-01 10:00:03
It's not just about some screenshot, 2 custodia files missing. It's just about rules, we're not saying they cheated..

The admins gave penalty rounds to other teams who didn't had this too. So it's about that every team should have the same rights and be ruled the same.

And not like the admins said: Team EG is Team EG...

+++ This is all being hyped too much :D
2010-03-01 10:35:16
what was their ping? EG played from Europe?
2010-03-01 10:45:37
Their pings were 15-30 cause they're bootcamping in Germany and played from LAN there.
