lio &alexL the whole truth

Well I dont think I have to explain anyone that lio, alexL and some other guys recently got wrongly kicked for violation Gamehack #80332, but im sure that some of you are still asking yourself, why those 2?

The answer to that question is really simple. Basically we wanted to see the reaction of the ET community after 2 famous players getting kicked for a random punkbuster message, and for that, we needed 2 known players:

lio: was known as one of the most hated, but also most skilled players in the ET scene who also showed that he can keep his skill up at lans just as good as online. None really accused him of cheating since he played that well on all lans he visited, and even if he was known for his flame he was a respected part of the community.

alexL: on the other side was more known as a "cheater" that did not get busted yet, and there were just few people in the whole ET scene who didnt accuse him of using some sort of hack yet. In our case his job was mainly to play the bad guy.

Now when those 2 people were banned for the same violation in the same game, people were asking themselves if lio who performed well at every lan could really be a cheater. The biggest part of the community didnt actually belive that he used cheats, but they were not 100% sure since the known "cheater" alexL got kicked in the same game for the same violation. So it could've also been true since alexL was known for his cheater skills, and his kick was no mistake for sure!

Note: I do take any personal position about alexL nor lio, and I do not know if they ever used any kind of a cheat before.

Anyway,

netCoders is responsable that the following person were kicked (several times) by Punkbuster for the violation Gamehack #80332 in the past 2 weeks: [/b]

- lio (bel)
- alexL (swe)
- the whole team Invitium#force'gamin (pol)
- Griim (Eng)


all the other kicks (~200 until now) were caused by a crossfire admin posting the actual string (which punkbuster was looking for in your virtual memory) on the crossfire page in an newspost aswell as in the crossfire IRC channel. We do not take responsability for that.
