Sagen omkring mTw og chemistry har i den forgange uge verseret i blogs på sitet og DEL er blevet opfordret til at overveje sin beslutning på denne baggrund. En ny drøftelse i DEL har ikke kunnet ændre DEL's standpunkt. Det er fortsat DEL's objektive holdning, at de tekniske beviser bør danne grundlag for afgørelsen, og en sammenligning af gamle og nye demoer omfatter kvalificerede gæt og således ikke stærke nok til at fælde dom.
Fordi der er stillet spørgsmålstegn vedr. håndtering af sagen, herunder kompetence og habilitet har DEL efter egen intern drøftelse ydermere rundsendt sagen til 14 administratorer i betydende internationale turneringer - NGL, ClanBase, ENC - for at teste, om der på dette niveau er koncensus, eller om DEL´s dom har været afvigende. Af de 14 administratorer har desværre kun 4 svaret hidtil. Deres svar skal ikke ses som en verificering af afgørelsen, men gerne sende et signal om, at DEL på alvorlig facon søger at handle habilt og kompetent, omend den generelle holdning strider med afgørelsen.
Det er blevet udtalt, at baggrunden for frifindelsen er, at DEL ikke tør straffe mTw, da det vil have store konsekvenser for DEL. Denne slags udtalelser er ikke nye for XplayN / DEL, og må afvises. DEL er stiftet for at styrke dansk eSport som et tilbud til danske hold, der kræver en hel del ressourcer at drive. DEL er ikke afgørende for XplayN's eksistens, ej heller er specifikke hold afgørende for DEL's eksistens.
Sagen er blevet fremstillet som følger:
Team A accuses team B for using fake player and request admins to control serverlog for ip-address and steamID. This shows that there has not been used fake player.
Team A ask admins to compare a 3½ month old demo to control for player patterns. The old demo is from an international LAN-tournament played on tournament-machines. The case-match is an online match played from home on own machines.
Player patterns are questionable. The player in question played much better and very different in some of the match (bo3) and worse in other parts of the match.
Team B denies using fake player.
How do you verdict?
1) NGL overadmin Michael Haenisch
From what I understand in this story, the serverlog (ip-address and steamID) did not show any irregularity. So the only proof should be the gameplay which was recorded in an older demo file and compared to the new demo.
From my point of view this proof is not enough to show that a fake player competed in a match. Of course this is a clear indication but it is not enough to have a 100% sure judgement about the situation. In that case the NGL ONE would close the case as a clear proof is not possible.
Best Regards,
Michael
2) ClanBase admin Willem (Killerman)
The difference in player patterns could be an indicator that it's not the same player - and warrant more investigation. But seeing you already done that I wouldn't say it is enough proof of them using a fake player - especially considering the steamid and ip-address is the same. It may not happen much but it is possible that a players pattern changes in 3½ months - also with the difference in online/offline environments.
In other words; I wouldn't consider the demo alone enough to say they used a fake player here.

Willem (Killerman)
3) NGL admin Raphael Baur
In my opinion the facts are not funded enough to prove that a player was being faked. Many players change their style from time to time, especially over a period of 3½ months, may it be because their team changed the complete style of play, a simple change of mouse-sensitivity or changing style because the players are playing on tournament-machines under conditions they are not used to. I hope that I could help you with your question.
Kind regards,
Raphael Baur

Accusation like that without any concrete evidence is pretty far-fetched. He might have just had a bad day when playing in the lan tournament + there's really no way to know this for sure so just guessing it might have been a fake player because he played differently than before shouldn't be counted as evidence imo.

Tilflyder der DEL yderligere synspunkter fra de internationale turneringer, vil de blive postet i deres fulde ordlyd i denne nyhed.
Sagen har naturligvis medført en kraftig evaluering hos administratorer og er foreløbig mundet ud i følgende: Fremover vil enhver online kamp afholdt af XplayN, der ikke foregår på custodia være ulovlig. Hertil kommer yderligere, at XplayN.com forbeholder sig adgang til serverlogs i online kampe fra turneringer afviklet af XplayN.com. For DEL's vedkommende bliver finalekampe fremover afholdt på LAN.
Det videre forløb i DEL
3. sæson af DEL bliver annonceret i løbet af de næste 2 uger og det er med fornøjelse, at jeg kan afsløre, at støtten omkring ligaen er god og at sæson 3 vil være en opgraderet version takket være flere nye samarbejdspartnere. Det betyder, at der er mere at spille om, ikke kun i elitedivisionen, men også i første og anden division. Der indføres finaler på LAN. Endelig indføres et tiltag, som vil løfte underholdningsværdien et par grader.
Sæson 3 er sat til at starte lige efter påskeferien.
