Leaderboard’s Season 5 Announcement

Dear players,

We received a complaint coming from our community, where there have been allegations against the winner of the European Leaderboard’s 5th Season, notifying us about irregular practices that go against our rules of conduct. After the accusation, we verified information from SteamID, chats and logs and the unsportsmanlike conduct was confirmed, showing that the complaint is truthful.

Within the technical analysis, we identified that other than having the matches being played with accounts of the same IP, these accounts were quitting matches in an average of 86% to 99% of the times, in more than 130 games played. This practice is not allowed in the 5th Season, where only PVP data is being logged.

Hoplon believes that a healthy community is fundamental for everyone’s entertainment, and will always act transparently in relation to existing problems in game, as well as its practices, and we feel like it is fair to make the community aware of the issue, as well as to apply the disclosed punishments foreseen in the rules of conduct, that includes blocking the accounts of the users involved, and mainly to correct our mistake by rewarding the truthful winner, the player Byakudark.

We thank the community for the report, which allowed us to evaluate not only the player but also our internal procedures.

We have added a link to the rules of conduct , support link for reporting complaints, and the Restricted Players List. The reports will be analyzed and confirmed for everyone’s safety. We apologize for the occurrence, and we are available for clarifications and suggestions.
