Kimbo DQd from GCS2 (conditional entry revoked)

kind of feel cheated tbh, 2 of coh2s 'best ' players , both nearly guaranteed a place at the final and neither will be there.
so as such its a bit like the la Olympics in 1984 with the Russian boycott. to be the best u got to beat the best and sadly this wont happen.
ah well such is life and if kimbo does cheat he got what was coming to him as cheaters suck.

No matter if Kimbo actually ghosted or not, but acting up the way he did even tho he was well aware the he got a conditional entry (and therefore had "high priority on the watchlist") was just completely reckless and embarrassing, and he got punished for it. Nothing wrong with that IMO.

It's a shame tho cuz losing tourney players in such a way is completely unnecessary and could be avoided easily. And not gonna lie, I think the upcoming Kimbo GCS2 matches would have been pretty exciting to watch

I get it he is banned,but how many threads do we need to announce that he is banned for what ever reason.

I get it he is banned,but how many threads do we need to announce that he is banned for what ever reason. When does an announcement become a public shame. If your a full grown man, you should not be looking to humiliate a boy of 16 or 17 years old. If he is banned then just move on with the tournament and stop shamming people,its not right.

So is anything going to be put in place to stop other players from doing this?

Kimbo was found out and banned but this doesnt mean other players wont be doing it on the sly. There has been suspicious play from other games where players destroying/dodging mines what were layed through fog of war.

There is alot of money on the line so i wouldnt put it past people.

Hey dude yeah sure, what you do is you get the eight best players and you put them on the the same equipment in isolation under observation in a studio at great expense.

I completly disagree with this. Neither Stuve nor Kimbo were "nearly guaranteed" a place to qualify. Kimbo´s playstyle is very unpleasant to watch and not having his ghost sandbagging and blobbing in the GCS main event is a good thing for spectators. Neither Stuve nor Kimbo have shown the emotional maturity to participate in a live tournament and thus were DQd, nothing wrong with that and only logical really.

On top of that, neither were considered favourites for a possible GCS win. So no, you don´t need to beat stuve and kimbo to prove you are the best COH2 1v1 player. I could understand your point if all of a sudden the likes of Devm, Vonasten, Talisman, Vonivan etc were DQd.
