RE:
thelinearcurve vs
Hclat
Situation: In his ADV Cup set versus Hclat, thelinearcurve intentionally misplayed to throw
game 2, giving Hclat a significantly increased chance of winning that game, which Hclat proceeded to do. While thelinearcurve's intent behind throwing did not appear to be malicious and the players do not appear to have colluded in advance to rig the set, throwing a tournament game is explicitly against tournament rules and cannot be permitted in any form, as it severely undermines the competitiveness of our tournaments.
As Hclat lost both of the other games in their ADV Cup set, neither of which had any sign of being illegitimate, Hclat will not advance further in the ADV Cup.
Result: thelinearcurve will be tournament banned for six months, since he's
done this before.
edit: He has appealed and his ban was reduced to three months.
