I don't even think a ban on SC2SEA tournaments is the best option, given that it's obvious hyun was a bit clueless about the whole affair.

Should get Jaz or someone with conversational Korean to put together like a training video, have a korean professional walk through a build for everyone and upload it solely for SC2SEA. (Then link on reddit for maximum karma.)

Of course, banning him's easier, but yeah, the intent on hyun's part was not malicious whatsoever, and the punishment should reflect that.

not malicious? he broke the rules in an attempt to win prize money he was not entitled to, then tried to cover it up when nirvana got suspicious and did his test thing.

poor english doesn't make that ok.

Every single gamer on the planet knows what smurfing is, knows it's against the rules and knows it's a form of cheating. The more damning piece to the puzzle is that once the inquiry begun Seo himself actively colluded in order to prevent the truth from coming out. Irrespective of their understanding of the consequences both Chobo and Seo knew full well what they were doing was wrong.

I don't think there is any question that if key members of the SEA community had not taken time out to uncover the truth to this - neither Chobo or Seo would have ever openly admitted to their wrong doings. Chobo would have continued to deny many hard working legitimate players from receiving their just desserts, all whilst potentially causing irreparable damage to the SEA scene as a whole.

Having said that Seo should definitely keep playing. He needs to take this as a lesson learned the hard way. As far as consequences for him I'll leave that up to the people here at SEA to decide however as Dippa has mentioned, some "community service" might be a good way for him to make amends.

For me Chobo needs to have the book thrown at him. He instigated the mess we are in now and has caused harm to the image of an International player as a result. Due to his actions he clearly has a flagrant disregard for the SEA community. That might mean a complete ban on LAN events as well. You cannot simply toy with and potentially cause irreparable harm to something so many people here take seriously.

he has a sea account. if he had joined using his own account under the pretext that he doesnt know the rules, it is forgiveable. but he took the trouble to participate in a tournament that is not open to him, under another person's account. moreover he is involved with chobo in the cover up (the skype and game involving nirvana and rossi) in an attempt to obstruct investigation.
