I'd just like to note an incident that happened during last night's tournament, in case anyone didn't know what happened, or heard half the story.

A player named Logik (Pomachu on the forums) contacted me in game about 2 hours before the tournament to let me know that he felt that another player was dropping games suspiciously. I replied that I'd take a look later.

About an hour or so after that, he contacted me again to ask if I'd checked yet. I believe the wording was "Well?? Have you looked yet?" which I felt was rather impolite and vaguely aggressive. I replied that I had not, as I'd been admining another tournament all day, and the player in question was not yet online.

After the other tournament had finished (about 20 mins before BSG), I was waiting in the BSG group for the player (Dreadnaught) to come online so I could have a look at his match history. A third player (Inka) came into the chat and started typing in caps about how Dreadnaught was a cheater, and I said that I'd been made aware of accusations of dropped games, and would have a look when he came online, and that it was none of their business.

Another player in the chat asked what Inka meant by the term 'insta-surrendering', and as I was explaining that it meant leaving games to stay in a lower league, Logik chimed in and said 'Ha! See I told you he was dropping games'. I replied that Dreadnaught was not online yet, and that it was up to myself to decide if he was cheating, and that carrying on about it in the chat was inappropriate.

Dreadnaught came online, I had a look through his match history and found one apparent dropped game. I asked him about it, he said he'd had a blackout. As Dreadnaught has been a longtime BSG player and there was no other evidence, I saw no reason to disbelieve him and allowed him to remain in the tournament.

As it turned out, Dreadnaught's first round opponent was Logik. Dreadnaught won the game, and Logik reported the result to me with the words 'well cheaterboy won anyway.' He continued making accusations, I said I saw one dropped game and believed Dreadnaught's explanation. Logik said that there was more than one dropped game, I said if he could point out these games in the match history I'd have a look. He didn't reply.

Dreadnaught's next opponent was Lazyboy. When Dreadnaught tried to contact Lazyboy to start the game, Lazyboy said he was ingame with Logik. This game was also being casted on stream (check www.twitch.tv/havoc_sc2 for vods) and when I came back from making a cup of tea and Dreadnaught alerted me to what was going on, I contacted the casters and Lazyboy to stop the game.

For this obvious and stupid attempt to cheat, Logik was banned from the tournament. For the remainder of the night, Havoc's stream chat was populated by new accounts (I banned at least 10) from Logik and at least one other person, accusing Dreadnaught of cheating and generally being rude and obnoxious. One of the accounts made was something like 'Asrathiel_is_a_n1ggerb1tch".

Logik/Pomachu is therefore not welcome in any future BSG tournament and is banned from the battle.net group (not to mention personally blocked by me!)
