*iM Light: *So if someone comes clean they shouldn't deserve punishment and hatred? Soft.
Not usually, but the point of punishment isn't to make them feel bad. Nor is it 'an eye for an eye' type thing. The point of punishment is to teach a lesson. If someone clearly shows legitimate remorse then there is seldom need to punish, is there? If they've learnt their lesson then punishing them is just creating un-needed negativity.
Additionally, upon personal research I've confirmed that InFinitY is, in fact 'Random'. Someone I've caught personally at least two or three times myself smurfing in tournaments. This guy hasn't and may never learn his lesson with smurfing, it is my opinion he should be perma banned from competitions in SC2SEA.
EDIT: Yes Bash, that guy. After BSGCL he laddered a ton, got M/GM and then started smurfing for fun.. I can prove at least 5 times that he has smurfed in SEA tournaments
mmm to be quite honest with you I didn't have much of a problem with your smurfing. While you may have taken the opportunity away of other players on your side of the bracket, playing you in the finals was one of the most educational and influential series I've ever played.
Yes, you were busted. Multiple suspicions arose after the game (from me only at first because at that time ZvZ was my strongest MU and was damn near GM level) and the GPD was awarded to me 3-0. Other than that, you received no punishment (as far as I know).
That being said, I have heard of you smurfing countless times in previous tournaments, under different names, different races, and even different hotkeys. I've heard stories of you offracing in BSG's, and other different tournaments. If this is true, then you probably need more than a simple apology letter to gain other people's respect. For me, this is enough. Thank you for coming clean in public.
