Also, instead of defending the issue for him, can you ask him to come and answer this himself?

I'm not at all defending him. I guess my understanding of the GGA cup was that ShinyA was using his account to gain access, I was under the impression SenSei had told him to tell admins and wasn't intentionally smurfing. Perhaps I bought into the story a bit, but that was my understanding.

Secondly, the length, lying and scale to which CHobo was smurfing is much greater (at least it seems as such atm). CHobo was confronted and lied about the issue for weeks. CHobo smurfed in numerous online tournaments, winning cash prizes and earning income from coaching students who believed the lies about his skill. It seems much more malicious and drawn out than 1-2 smurfing in tournament situations. But thats just how I feel about the situation.

As for the Broodwar stuff, that was a long time ago and the suggestion was that SenSei learnt his lesson.. Perhaps not, it seems.

In regards to getting him out to answer for himself, I don't represent SenSei, nor do I tell him what to do. Thats on him, not me. I'm not defending his actions, However the suggestion of life bans is over the top when CHobo, who continues to win trade and perhaps cheat on ladder has served his penalty for smurfing and is able to enter online tournaments now. SenSei's crime, I feel, is not as sever and the suggestion is life ban? - I personally don't agree and am simply offering up my thoughts. It's not at all my call on the situation, nor should my suggestions carry weight, I simply believe a life ban would be unjust - given previous penalties.
