Season 4 title decision – Division 1 Week 9 match Team Dignitas vs. Crack Clan tonight @ 21:00 CEST!

Date March 30, 2009

Over 900 matches have already been submitted and almost all Division winners are decided, but the most important question still isn’t answered yet: Who will win this season’s title and get the six high quality headsets from SteelSeries?

We will know by tonight with currently unbeaten number 1 European> European<span id= Team Dignitas meeting Finland> Finland<span id= Crack Clan who are in need of a top performance if they still want to gain the title. After European> European<span id= Team Dignitas have won all Season 4 matches by now and Finland> Finland<span id= Crack Clan already losing and drawing a map, CC will have to win both maps to get the title.  European> European<span id= Team Dignitas will take home their 3rd season title in all other cases. [Edit: Bad math at first]

Good luck to both teams and let’s hope for an exciting match!

MeGa Caught Hacking.

Date March 25, 2009

The ETF2L “anti-cheat” department has certainly been working overtime this week, another hacker has been caught.

Whilst we were reviewing the evidence, mega’s account got VAC2 banned and he pm’d an admin admitting to what he had been doing. Unforunately he created a new account, with the same name, same team, avatars and friends. Both have been banned.

[15:59] Mega“: i want to report my self for cheating
[15:59] Kop: We already know m8 :(
[16:01] Kop: you realise your going to get a minimum 1 year ban right ?
[16:02] Mega“: yea im quitting gaming

New Account: [Link]

Both accounts have been banned for 1 year.

Cheating Issue – ColorZ account sharing + A number of cheaters banned

Date March 22, 2009

Another sad day for our community. Cheating is becoming a more frequent sight in etf2l.
In the last week we have uncovered more cheating and rule evading then I thought this community could ever throw at us.

1 Year bans:

Major warning (1 point deduction):

  • 9th.forzew – for use of an illegal fastfire script

I’m afraid that’s not all. After looking into ColorZ due to what is mentioned above we
discovered that team ColorZ has been sharing their accounts with each other and with other people mercing for them.

Not knowing what to do with such a massive attempt to evade the rules of etf2l we decided that all accounts which were used in this account sharing scam will be banned until season 5 is over:

We hope no measures of this magnitude will ever have to be used again. please let this be a warning for everyone who still thinks you can get away with cheating.
