Season 13 finalized divisions, pre-season qualifiers, cheating policy update, bans
September 10, 2012
Finalized divisions
We have addressed feedback received from the Provisional Divisions and released the final Group Tables, which can be found below. If your team did not make it into the final divisions, you still have a chance of being substituted for a team that drops early in the season.
All teams that still have less than 6 players (or get less than 6 players in the next few days) should take care to add their last player until Wednesday, September 12. We reserve the right to replace all teams with less than 6 players with a team from the waiting list at that point. If you are still in the process of trialing but are positive that you will get your last player in time for the new season, you should contact an admin to explain the situation.
For everybody else it is now time to schedule the week 1 matches! Default dates will be set on Friday, September 14, for all week 1 matches without schedule.
Premiership/Division 1 Qualifiers
We asked all teams to provide their preferred playdays for the upcoming week. The original plan included a one night tournament, but some teams had a busier schedule than anticipated. We have settled for a schedule that should best accommodate all teams involved.
A full run-down on the schedule, brackets and other information pertaining to the Qualifiers can be found on their hub page.
>>>Season 13 Premiership and Division 1 Qualifiers<<<
The first matches are already kicking off tonight. 
Team Atomic and 
Lutuset (20:00) as well as 
the new one and 
TwistedPlay (20:30) fight for their place in the Division 1 Qualifier Final.
The Premiership Qualifier between ALUMINUM and 
uV Gaming is covered live by VanillaTV with 
ThePledge and 
HeavyIsGPS, starting at 20:00 CEST. The winner advances to the finals, which will be played tomorrow night.

AVENUE eSports [0:6] Last Man Standing Cheating policy update
For Season 13 onwards, we are extending our zero-tolerance policy to cover cheating committed outside ETF2L matches. Should we obtain conclusive evidence of a ETF2L player cheating in Team Fortress 2 in PCWs, scrims, on MGE/DM or other public servers, they will be banned from all ETF2L competitions for one year.
We are offering a time-limited opportunity for cheaters to turn themselves in to receive reduced bans. Any cheater who turns himself in before the ETF2L AC staff obtains proof of his exploits, will be banned for 7 months instead of 12 (two 6v6 Seasons instead of three, bans will expire in April instead of next September). This opportunity closes in two weeks on Sunday, 23rd of September.
Bans
Based on evidence provided by 
AnAkIn, the following players are now banned from all ETF2L competitions for one year.

September 10th, 2012 at 20:06
BUT WHAT ABOUT OUR PRIVACY! WONT SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF OUR PRIVACY!
Great job everyone, keep on truckin’.
Out of interest, the screenshot of matnun posted in the gargantuan thread shows hacking how? Genuine question. Tiny bit of yellow in the top right?

what are the evidences for these bans? fox1o told me no admin asked him for demos
September 10th, 2012 at 20:29
read the thread, anakin took client side screenshots, esp hacks shown on screen
September 10th, 2012 at 20:31
israeli pride
September 10th, 2012 at 20:37
Maybe the evidence is the photoshopped pictures anakin sent the admin team? Are you stupid?

I hid my cheats. I’m safe.
September 10th, 2012 at 21:08
I found a ss of my xhair being precisely on target, is this conclusive proof of cheating?
September 10th, 2012 at 21:13
tarkus talent of the season :D
x22 makes it possible
September 10th, 2012 at 21:23
btw that means that ret and matnun didnt won the bball cup againts us.
September 10th, 2012 at 21:38
Wait, ETF2L banned people using screenshots which origins are unknown and were made using an exploit in the Source engine?

funny how u dont even ask for demos to prove something. such a sad league
September 10th, 2012 at 21:48
I’ve been told that Tarkus, when confronted with the evidence, did admit to cheating. (so the validity of the screenshots is irrelevant in his case).
Dunno about the others though. This is why you never talk to the police without a lawyer, if they’d shut up they could easily claim to be set-up. :)
September 10th, 2012 at 21:51
the screenshots exist on the servers also, chance of anakin planting screenies on servers just to nail some jews is slim to none
September 10th, 2012 at 22:13
what xzr said.

Is this the part where you tell me how the plugin works and he gets the screens on the server?
September 10th, 2012 at 22:22
So many buthurt ppl when cheaters are found, its amazing!
September 10th, 2012 at 22:25
this gon be gud
September 10th, 2012 at 22:30
They found my cheats using an exploit of their own, therefore it shouldn’t count.
Grow up please??
September 10th, 2012 at 22:41
Good to see these cheaters banned, who were probably hacking for a long time (the jews)
Hope they won’t be back on tf2.
September 10th, 2012 at 22:51
it’s still funny how people who actually hacked can get less ban time than someone who multi accounted, probably some elitist fags are afraid of getting owned by “random” kids :))))))))))))
September 10th, 2012 at 22:53
i get the feeling that this plugin causes glitches and moving laggs for the last 2 weeks, could this be anakin? it just happens on servers with it on
September 10th, 2012 at 23:00
It might be your avast etc virusblock-program which is checking all the shots when they are taken. Stopped the freezing when I took the tf-folder out of the scan-area
September 10th, 2012 at 23:45
How did etf2l verify the screenshots? They’re easily reproduced.
September 11th, 2012 at 02:32
I came here to comment and spike has wrote exactly what I was gonna say :D
I kinda don’t understand this. If I take any of the legit screenshots taken of other peoples TF2 from anakins plugin, make a little edit with some text in the top-left corner and send it to ETF2L would they be banned?!?!
September 11th, 2012 at 03:22
Oxy and Spike, the screenshots were not just sent in by anakin. They are stored on the server that the players were playing on.
September 11th, 2012 at 05:41
@Spike/Oxy – if you have questioned the reliability of those screenshots, what do you think the chances are that “we” have too?
September 11th, 2012 at 09:39
I cheated once while playing SMB on the gameboy, dunno if Anakin has screenshots of it. I turn myself in.. *sighs* :(
September 11th, 2012 at 13:37
the people complaining about Anakins plugin :D dunno if trolling or just stupid
September 11th, 2012 at 17:47
stupid, just plain stupid
September 12th, 2012 at 00:07
ALRIGHT I ADMIT IT, I USE THE FLYING CAR CHEAT IN GTA. I’M SO SORRY.
September 12th, 2012 at 23:57
I sometimes use noclip on my own jumpserver….
September 13th, 2012 at 18:47
Hys: I don’t know – the news post says “based on evidence provided by AnAkIn” – not “our AC team looked into this” or something along those lines. Don’t worry, unlike most I do trust the AC team. It’s just that, judging from the news post, it seems these people were banned purely because there was a screenshot of them, which as you know anyone could’ve made.
September 14th, 2012 at 15:32
LOL ?? wtf ?
September 16th, 2012 at 01:48
You’d hope/expect it’s “based on evidence provided by AnAkIn” that the AC team looked into and verified. Wouldn’t you?
