SPALE has benefits from that and they are Finnish team. They are not Russians at all, what is the problem to get it? Look at the 2nd campaign map SPALE members are from RSOP clan and they are in top players by Fame Points.

Really guys?

I recommend the round robin pools followed by direct elimination system used in fencing tournaments. Teams are grouped in pools of 5 to 7 teams per pool. They play every other team in their pool, then the results are tallied by victories, damage caused, and damage received. All teams from every pool are then ranked in that order: most victories, most damage caused, and least damage received. (The last two numbers are usually combined into a factor DC/DR) When the direct elimination phase is set up the highest ranked team plays the lowest, the second highest plays the second lowest, etc. During the early phase of the DE (round of 64) the tough matches are those in the middle of the pack e.g. 32nd place vs 33rd place. The net result is that it makes no sense to throw a match during the round robin phase because that means you’ll be facing a tougher team during elimination.

So in other words, if they don’t cheat, they aren’t Russians. Makes sense to me :-P

Perma-ban players for playing smartly? Give me a break. They wanted SPALE to advance to the finals, so they lost to em’. I’m failing to see why this is such an outrageous offense.

Tl;DR The better team advanced the lesser team lost.

Why should they get DQed? They advanced at the top of the bracket and have earned a slot in the finals. Whether they want to throw a game or two is their business.

The fact they got fined prize money instead of simply replaying the matches(where they would win), means WG took it seriously. No reason for a DQ.

It’s a common complaint from people in the “pro” scene. The RNG as far as damage rolls in this game is fucking outrageous.

It’s fun when you high roll 2-3 times in a row, but it’s highly toxic when you don’t and that’s pretty ridiculous.

The RNG spread for damage should be NO more than 10%. It shouldn’t be static because damage spread actually makes sense “physics” wise, that said 25% is retarded.
