So Basically TLDR for the whole thread- "The league prizes are £2500 + why can't we have an anti cheat?" Anti cheat will cost That + more, then you may have less cheaters in the league but no prize money. "Will other leagues let us use their anti cheat?" No. So you've got 3 options: 1 - Use another leagues anti cheat client in the rare chance they'll let us, and have everyone whine about how it lags their chocolate box pc. 2 - Utilize VAC bans again - Because who cares if your "Brother" cheated "whilst playing css" you're probably a dick anyway. 3- Carry on with the current AC system and have WHY BAN ME? threads pop up after every ban hammer news post.

[...] whut? i'm pretty sure we used it... and the div1 was a bit retarded (no offence boomeh)

Cheating is for cowards and persons that don't know how to lose. I despise all of them. They belong in the 8th circle of hell. Let them burn there.

Has ETF2L asked any support for AC from their Sponsors?(Steelseries etc...)

[...] Except it doesn't cater the top teams as well.

[...]For most skill levels etf2l has as much to offer as other leagues (fun / competition), has nothing to do with people being stubborn.

The only problem here is that it gets treated like a pro-gaming league because everyone is too stubborn to get their dose from a real league like ESL.

[...] Dr. Justice AGAINST CHEATERS!

ETF2L is a community site, it does not need an anti-cheat. The only problem here is that it gets treated like a pro-gaming league because everyone is too stubborn to get their dose from a real league like ESL. I don't mean any disrespect to ETF2L or the admins, but this is such a pointless discussion as the only useful conclusions anyone can draw is that everything that is required is already readily available for TF2 players to use - it just doesn't have the big friendly smiley ETF2L banner on it. Time to move on. Also please don't respond by saying the ESL site sucks. You're talking about ETF2L investing 10s of thousands of euros in software that already exists for you to use but can't be bothered to spend 10 minutes doing what players from every other competitive game under the sun do and learning to use a website on the internet.

I guess the other alternative is to still ask for donations towards an anticheat deterent, and just use the money to fly a big dude to the cheaters house, to punch him in the face.
