Hello SC fam,
Someone has brought this to my attention and I think it should be talked about.
First off, Fuck anyone who cheats in a multiplayer competitive game. It diminishes the achievements of those around you, and it's just really weird to care that much about something unearned.
I think Sepheron (community member) has boosted his account. Obviously, this is kind of a big claim and I hate to drag someone's name through the mud, but I think there is a lot of evidence to support my claim.
The way he did this is simple. He force blocks every server on his firewall except for Australia (Which honestly I don't blame people for doing this, as NA's ping range is insane. I know he forces aus, because i block aus personally and almost never play him. props to people like pig who can own people on 300 ping). By doing this, he can only connect to people on Australia which makes it very easy to line up your opponent, especially if done at a time with low queue times. (Which for NA, where theres not a lot of people around his mmr, is quite often.) It was easier on past pools where there were less maps to veto i think, because you could easily force the same maps.
I've attached below an imgur album containing what I think is proof. If you guys think I'm wrong about this, please call me an idiot in the comments as I definitely don't like making claims like this if I'm wrong.
(my detective work, forgive me for formatting or if its idiot like)
I hate calling him out for this, because I genuinely like the guy, but I also really can't stand people that cheat. From what I could tell there is a decent amount of these games that are legit, going up against some 5k players I recognize, but the vast majority are over almost instantly or quite short (3-4 minutes)
Finally I'd like to wrap up this post to a message towards Sepheron, I'm sorry if I'm incorrect about my assumptions here, as I think you're a nice guy and if I am wrong I want to take accountability. Please reddit if i am wrong about this shit on me viciously.
EDIT:: Sepheron has responded to me. He did not post in the comments below, because well, his reddit account isn't working. Some reddit mobile verification crap. I've screenshotted our conversation on discord. You can find his response here.
