Staff Changes

After a long and faithful service in the Anti-Cheat team we say goodbye to our most veteran anti-cheat admin KillAri, who wishes to focus on other endeavors. His professionalism and knowledge has been an inspiration to all of us in the team and we wish Killari all the best in the future.

Bans

Some players have been spotted with recent VAC bans affecting Team Fortress 2 and thus are now banned from ETF2L for one year:

• aka jack
• fireballz
• Mr. Ray
• Staregineer
• VinylScratch

• SwordfishGame – alt of Swordfish_

As these players have not been caught cheating by our staff, their match results are not affected.

The following players have been caught cheating by our Anti-Cheat team. They are banned from ETF2L for 1 year:

• Banyan – Multihack

We now have more than a hundred thousand registered accounts on ETF2L. To ensure all competitions are as fair as possible, us AC admins are working hard – but there’s only so much you can do with five pairs of eyes which is why we’re asking you, the community, to help us keep alt accounts of banned users from playing in this league. Every little thing matters, no matter how obvious or trivial the information seems. We appreciate all the help we can get by our users reporting their suspicions to us, and of course everything will stay anonymous if you wish it to be. Reporting can be done by going to our support page and typing !acrequest in irc.
