League Admins

We are once again looking for more volunteers to help run and maintain the league.

Among other things league admins take admin requests on IRC, deal with match conflicts, handle the setting of Default Dates and the verification of played matches. They also create and oversee cups.

Dealing with match conflicts is a task that has to be addressed in a timely fashion. Additionally providing support during match times is quite important. therefore we cannot really employ admins who have team commitments every four to five times per week. Same goes for creating and overseeing cups. It is always easier said than done, having the idea and setting up a cup is only a small part of actually running a cup. Being there when the cup is under way, providing match support, addressing conflicts, lending out servers, seeding further rounds, verifying finished matches and many more tasks have to be handled, while possibly over 100 matches are going on simultaneously, you may not be alone, but you will be part of it.

Also something we want to address is our interest in self-managed admins, we will not take you by the hand and lead you through everything there is to do. YOU have to show interest, YOU have to ask what you can do, YOU have to prove you really want to be an admin. There are plenty of admins around almost all the time, who are happy to help you and show you the ropes, but at some point routines will have to be dealt with without someone telling you that they need to be done. At the same time, communicating with other admins is very important, to avoid certain tasks being done twice, conflicting results in decisions or even decisions overwriting previous ones.

If you are interested in supporting the administrative backbone for the league, you should also check out the details on the respective application page, this will tell you which information we need from you at the very least.

    I think a year is a little extreme as the hacks were only used on an alt account for a week. I’ve already apologized for the use of them and would like to appeal for a shorter time. Thanks.

  20. Ombrack: Top5rocket said:

    Elacour still not banned ? omg this kid is obviously hacking

  21. Mirelin said:

    Hey. It’s not like I care about this dead game anyway. But I don’t really want to be banned for something that I didn’t commit. Especially, loosing face in front of the community that I used to spend time with for quite a long time.

    Regarding the VAC ban. The VAC ban is from CS:GO. Therefore, the games like TF2, CS:Source, CS 1.6, basically, all games cannot be affected in any way.

    I will show you the screenshot when I will be home, but, eh, yeah. It is not nice to ban people before asking what the VAC ban was of. Especially claiming the things that you are not sure of (affecting TF2). Once again, I don’t really care. It’s just all about saving my face, and, well, AC admins, I am pretty sure you don’t want to look incompitent.

    @Mirelin, we don’t care about you too, bye

  24. Mirelin said:

    Thanks for the info, quintosh.

    Regarding the VAC, I know that you ban people with VACation. I told Sonny Black about that, isn’t he part of admin crew anymore?

    Still sad that I have to go to IRC in order to get the ban lifted. (Does anybody still use it? :D)
    You obviously failed with this ban, and the reason that I have to download programme from the dinosaur era makes this overal situation even more retarded.

    Btw, I have the second account that I play CS:GO on. I can give you the link so you could ban it too. Wanna? :D

  25. Mirelin said:

    Oh, quintosh. You removed your comments, why…

  26. Capu said:

    Mirelin, you can go to http://etf2l.org/support/ instead of downloading an IRC client. Your profile is private, so our tool flagged your account as TF2 VAC banned.

  27. quintosh: ITIFY - op_sqd said:

    i was gonna rephrase them but i guess it doesn’t matter now

    sonny black isn’t admin anymore and he hasn’t told us whether it’s for tf2 or not. you also don’t have to download a client ( http://etf2l.org/support/ ).

    if you want your face to be saved then maybe don’t get vac banned in the first place? the only reason you seem to be upset is because you think you deserve some sort of special treatment and while i admire your achievements, we as staff don’t think anyone deserves special treatment when it comes to anything AC related.

  28. Night said:

    I remember the old days when AC admins tryharded and tried to figure out which game the VAC ban was applied on.

  29. Mirelin said:

    Hey Capu. My profile is “friends only”.

    Okay, quintosh. I am trying my best now to be as much polite as it is even possible to be with you. I have no idea who you really are, but probably you are very proud with the fact that you are an AC Staff. I would like to congratulate you with your achievements, but please, could you slightly tone down your arrogant way of communicating to me?

    I don’t give a single fuck about special treatment even though I still believe that I deserve a little bit understanding. I retired from this game some years ago, and I don’t plan to come back. I am sorry for calling this game dead, although it is not doing that well, it was very disrespectful of me towards all people who play it.

    As I said, it’s not special treatment. It’s about this shit which popped out from the article “Following players, bla bla bla, banned due to TF2 affected VAC ban”. You, guys, just made the action of making a false written statement damaging my reputation. Or in other words you just slandered me. People will swallow all this rubbish information, and they will really believe that I was cheating in TF2 during my professional career.

    If only it was written smth like that:

    “Following players have their accounts VAC banned for unknown reason, therefore, they are banned from ETF2L league for one year.”

    Then that could help you to avoid my dissatisfaction.

    “Don’t get your account VAC banned in the first place”

    I think it is up to me how I treat my account. I wanted to cheat in CS:GO, I cheated in CS:GO. I had a lot of fun, was cool to destroy other spinbotters :D

    Btw, your tool is very shit. I’ve got banned like 40 days ago. Took you a while to slander and ban me. Haters gonna hate.

  30. quintosh: ITIFY - op_sqd said:

    mirelin:
    you didn’t seem to bother with semantics in banposts before and we’ve always had people come forward and say they’re not tf2 banned

    night:
    do you also remember the old days where we didn’t catch 95% of the vac bans and suddenly have hundreds of people to check? yeah i don’t really have time for that anymore, sorry

  31. DT.miggy: .cloud said:

    Hey Mirelin,

    You not receiving an email was my error.
    I’m new to the team and had done some vac bans. At ETF2L we are supposed to send out a mass communication email to those who got league banned because of VACs, I just never sent that email. We have a completely different setup at UGC with automated emails and I’m still learning the ropes over here. The reason you were league banned was because your profile was private thus I was unable to confirm which game you were banned on, so to take a “better safe than sorry” approach you were banned here until you could reach out to us to clear the matter.

    My apologies

    “and they will really believe that I was cheating in TF2 during my professional career.”

    once a cheater… ;)

  33. firej said:

    hahahahaha i cheated XD because i can do whatever i want with MY ACCOUNT XD hahahahaha and now you make it look like i cheated -.——— wtf admins now i need to aks you to lift my ban after i cheated so people dont think im a cheater INCOMPETENT AC ADMIN TEAM

  34. Mirelin said:

    Hey, Miggy. Thanks for the effort. I have unprivated my profile, sorry, did not think that it causes so much troubles… lol.

    Hey NKF. Cheating in CS:GO is like a tradition and super fun. Last game I was playing against 5 spinbotters. My spinbot was better, hence we won :D

    Anyway, good luck to you, guys. Much love to you AC admins. You deserve a credit!

  35. WML said:

    Jebaited

  36. Thalash: wG - S-O said:

    Do you not have prime Mirelin? I don’t remember the last time I ran into a spinbotter or anyone blatantly cheating on my main account.

  37. Mirelin said:

    I have played both on prime and non prime. Most of the times wins the team that has a better spinbot. In a prime matches people mostly play with aimbot though. Check FIXCSGO.

  38. Lazybear: MUUQ - itsallgood said:

    I just want to be clear on some things as the AC senior. Every ban post we tend to have about 70+ accounts that get a VAC ban. More than twice that amount is detected by the site and filtered out. For example on the May VAC wave, we had over 200. Valve also has made some changes that makes it very difficult to ascertain which game this VAC ban affects, and for those reasons we can’t add users anymore to ascertain what it’s for. There simply are too many people getting a VAC so letting them come to us after the fact is the best we can do.

    Honestly your name was discussed @Mirelin and most of us were pretty sure it was for CSGO, but as your steam profile was privated and as we had never added any other accounts on the previous banposts to verify them, we felt it would be wrong to give special treatment and handled it like any other detection. If that action caused us to look incompetent, then so be it.

    Sadly sometimes the ban post is what it takes to get users to contact us and verify that it’s not for tf2, so it’s quite effective in that way. If Valve would actually tell it’s users what the VAC is for, this problem would be solved overnight. It’s not a personal thing for us, we just try to follow their detections the best we can.

  41. Mirelin said:

    Lazybear, you just removed me from my elite teams, including ones where I had good achievements earned. In fact, there is only one (Rocket Dragons), and now this super elite team is leaderless.

    As a senior AC admin, you’d better fix this misunderstanding and bring some insight in to this serious matter. Who the hell is supposed to lead the team now? Polish war arranger? Bleat!!! (Huehuehue)

  42. Mirelin said:

    And what the hell is wrong with these admin thingies. Senior AC, anti cheat trial, anti cheat staff. God bless Sonny Schwarz. Hey guys, I love you all, but it was so much better when there was just Sonny Black.

    Bring Sonny Schwarz back!!! Germany, freedom!!!!

  43. Lazybear: MUUQ - itsallgood said:

    @Mirelin

    Everyone gets removed from teams when blacklisted or banned. That’s automatic. You can contact the League admins at irc and ask them to be put back in the teams.

    The only misunderstanding here is that you got VAC banned and failed to contact us about it. The e-mail is just a courtesy to remind our players to do this. I suggest taking your outrage to Valve if you feel they’ve made a mistake but for us we don’t care if the VAC isn’t for tf2 as what people want to do in other games isn’t our business.

  44. Mirelin said:

    I didn’t get the e-mail.

    I have taken my outrage to Valve already. I made sure to deliver them a message that they are filthy amateurs that can’t take a proper grip on the cheat developers. Almost every game I have to face facetious remarks from fucking spinbotters about me using the same spinbot just to invent some competition against their cheats. And the worst thing is, in NA, it’s atleast 1 player using spinbot in every game.

    Even if you write CS:GO in google, the first thing that always pops out is: Private CS:GO cheats for monthly subscription. LOL

    Btw, 1 month later, still no VAC or Overwatch ban on the second account. LOL!

  45. Mirelin said:

    Afaik, not in English though (if you google)

    LazyBear, I can boost you up, no problems. I can guarantee, that my second account won’t get vacation :D

  46. Lazybear: MUUQ - itsallgood said:

    Hehe I appreciate the offer, but there’s too many cheaters in CS:GO so I just don’t enjoy it personally. Take care man.

  47. Cronk: ︻芫═一☺ - Lucrosa said:

    “Cheating in CS:GO is like a tradition and super fun”

    Fuck off, stop trying to normalize cheating, thanks.

  48. svins: alus - P.O.P said:

    “Once again, I don’t really care.” -Mirelin

    Seems like you do.

  49. Mirelin said:

    Cronk, why you has to be rude? It’s only game

  50. kKaltUu: UbeR | - -chess- said:

    bit weird that mirelin calls someone rude while almost every post he has made so far has had personal attacks to staff members or accusing ex staff of nepotism.

    Instead of deflecting the issues, imagine WHY the processes go as they are (and actually read the posts that AC people write to assist you).

    Good luck with your future endeavours.

    mirelin was obviously using aimware for his dodges…

    I guess checking 3 Steam accounts carefully was too much for the 4 AC admins 8)

    Kaltu, nouken in the kouken

  55. damneasy said:

    Whats up with these banned frenchies in these ban posts lol

  56. firej said:

    i guess not getting vac banned was to much for the people who want to play in a league or not appear as cheaters 8)

  57. hr said:

    You cheated in csgo so it’s fine to play in this league?

    Fucking scum all of you that cheat in any game. If everyone else cheats and you don’t like it then don’t play instead of cheating yourself.

    I mean how stupid can you get?

  58. mba god's hand: st said:

    I added my alt account where plays a player who was banned. why i’m not banned yet? :^)
