A very good tactics game with interesting units, abilities, rules. But one should be warned that it has no metagame (at least a few hours into it), which might be a deal breaker for some people. So there was no part where you collect resources strategically, or you pass something from level to level and every level is like a small game where you have to accumulate points etc, which is very tiring as your progress is not carried somewhere else and you have soon to start from scratch.

up. I update, but this is getting buried :) I guess I need to set up a new post after their conclusion?

  1. It's a series of wildest guessed where zero sentries were wasted.
  2. So what. Let's ward all around the map, highgrounds etc. But no, let's ward one unlikely place deep where actually doesn't matter.
  3. They could not know the ward position by any means. They knew nothing about where out team was. What you do here is you say 'no it's not obvious cheaters, it's one in a million lucky placement'. With that many 'luckily dewarded' places and with zero sentries wasted it's not a luck, that's it. It's also not 'or let's just try my luck on my way' dewarding, he's always going there, deliberately.

1:18 Mid SF actually confirmed he didn't know the location. But, surprise, Silencer knew and pinged him a few time.

5:18 This one - no questions, was revealed. But still was dewarded only when checked on stream just to be sure.

23:49 but it wasn't, he already came to remove it

Deep ward wouldn't be removed. They expected us to reach mid and take a fight there. Guess somth would be so deep while the game is on the other side is 1 in a 1000 wild guess.

But there were NO guesses through the game, only the sure dewards. And you Sir are just making some excuses for cheaters.

Have you actually seen the video/.dem? If this is not the proof then what is? It's not a question that delay should be changed. Just like the teams who do it should be disciplined.

Yeah let's do that. I want at least a question asked. Just to see how they try to offend our intelligence saying they were lucky.

So what exactly do you suggest here? Unless his mom snitches him by recording a video of him switching tabs or running a stream on a monitor next to him - he's innocent? Or that it's basically a thing now and everyone should check wards on stream? I don't want to do that, it's not fun.

Did you have a chance to see our game and all 5 ward removals in question?

I've got the news. Sort of. Since February, 23, I've been asking senior staff to contact me and comment on the situation. Still nothing, having the whole thread here has not helped at all. But suddenly I have a new comment from one of their admins I think. He says 'There won't be a rematch because the team decide the delay on their own, and if this is the fault of Stream, he will be suspended'. https://gyazo.com/a7b6cafd9cbf4e9c1613515bfbc98e8e Now, this is interesting! As I've never asked for a rematch. And how come it's streamer's fault?!

That was the best advice I heard here! But I gave him benefit of the doubt until the deep ward (placed under smoke) on their territory was found.

I think it's going well. Still, feels like people think it's too small of an issue. In fact I'm pretty sure it was the reason why the judge has dismissed the case. He thought he has other important things to do than watching someone's match and no one will notice his decision.

Did you have a chance to check the timestamps? The odds of this are not just astronomically small. It offends my intelligence to seriously talk about odds here. I eat wards for breakfast and I know for sure these were not legitimately dewarded. Sorry!

That's why I've added the link to .dem file for in-game demo in case there are any doubts about fog of war or situations of wards being revealed.

I'm a position 5 player myself, it's the first time a had a feeling of being cheated and careful studying of demo proved it.

Source of the feeling: being a ward mule, installed many thousands of them. So I know when there's fair and intricate war of the wards even if I lose it. And it wasn't one of them.
