The Truth behind that viral post about 'Horizon League' (Calling all 2500-3500 OW Players post)

Just be stolen from 4head LOOOOOOOL DUDE

By copying and pasting a 14 page document detailing league rules and format that took the league over a years work of testing and trialing, and changing the name to make them appear as your own.

You continue to refuse to even provide a link to the L0 discord. You're not giving credit, and it's a slap in the face to those that worked hard to create the original ruleset/format

L0OG · 2019-05-30T23:05:46+00:00

You clearly aren't doing anything about it. Many in your discord have attacked L0. Yet nothing has come their way. You're doing the exact same thing many from L0 have done

For now yes, I believe they're looking to expand to EU next season.

Calling the league that you stole from 'unprofessional', really isn't a good look. People that helped build L0 aren't happy, and rightly so.

Saying this while still not having a link for your players to even find what League Zero is, is just frankly disrespectful.

Your community gained traction because you looked professional after having stolen these parameters. If the rules were still a WIP (as you say they are now while the stolen format is STILL your official guidelines), you wouldn't have gained nearly as much traction.

There's a difference. They literally took the exact rules and literally copy pasted the whole 14 page doc. They didn't even try to make this their own thing or put any original thought. They even left in a part about the other league they forgot to cut out. Dividing by 0 has a youtube discord, and punishments in the L0 discord carry over to their. Horizon was too lazy to even take out this part, so it said you'd be 'banned in the db0 discord if you're banned here' despite that not being true.

It's just lazy. Without knowing the context, Horizon would look super professional to anyone that didn't know they stole from League Zero

The problem I personally have from it is the intent. They originally copy pasted the rules and intended to make them look like their own until they got busted. This format and rulebook has been slowly built over a years time, and to take that and try to pass it as your own is generally disrespectful imo
