This is seriously concerning. I defended Kice over hacking allegations as they seemed pretty ridiculous, which was shown.
This new evidence is absolutely different, and it concerns me that Kice may have been lying to us (people we know in real life) as well. I've watched Kice play on his stream while he was doing commentary, whether it was 'gm level' is not my field of expertise, but he seemed to be competing at a Masters level.
Conversely we've had Nirvana test out this smurfing possibility. He concluded it was unlikely.
But as it stands I'm just not sure. It's just a video game, but this resulted in money being taken away from someone else. At worst this is an elaborate hoax set up by Kice for some inane reason, or it's simply a matter of coincidence because he's coached by this other guy (which seems highly unlikely based on the very Brood War esque hotkeys).
Whether he's an actual member of the group, or he's contracted their services is not up for me to come to a conclusion for. I've tried to be impartial while giving him the benefit of the doubt. Whilst the hacking allegations seem less likely, this has much more evidence behind it.

It's so sad to see that AsG members still try to defend this bullshit cheater... ur awesome Rossi and everyone else who put effort to try and find out the secret behind this scumbag!
We defend him against allegations that he was a hacker, which were shown to be pretty false. Rossi's allegations that it's not actually Kice playing are a totally unrelated to him being a hacker or not. This has some of us at a loss for words on how to react, would you defend someone from such voracious attacks like harassment by some TA members and spam bots based on evidence that turned out to be incorrect?
