Facts

Marcel “Kìrìt0” Wiederhofer aka "Brigata" applied to play with one of the teams participating in the 2015 Summer Challenger Series Qualifier. During the approval process that all players seeking to participate in the Challenger Series go through, it came to light that Wiederhofer has been using drophacks and DDOSing to gain a competitive advantage in his ranked matches.

Relevant Rules

The Summoner's Code establishes the standards of behavior for all League of Legends players. Section 9.2 Unprofessional Behavior of the official Challenger Series ruleset states:

Moral Turpitude. A Team Member may not engage in any activity which is deemed by the CS to be immoral, disgraceful, or contrary to conventional standards of proper ethical behavior. (9.2.9)

Ruling

Wiederhofer has violated the Summoner’s Code as well as rule 9.2.9 of the Challenger Series ruleset.

Competition Penalties

Wiederhofer is:

Suspended from participation in the Challenger Series for 2015 Summer and 2016 Spring Splits
Suspended from Riot-affiliated League of Legends tournaments until an established pattern of good behavior has been reported; subject to review before 2016 Summer Split

Shouldn't he also have his account permabanned if he was ddosing?

Hopefully that has happened - and if not it probably will. Keep in mind that the penalties listed here are only the penalties specific to competitive play and do not include penalties assigned via the normal system

fair point... forgot that they typically don't discuss 'standard' penalties without permission.

Hopefully it has.

dont worry, just like incarnat0n he will prob keep playing and be let back in....

CantripsJun 25, 20151 votes

With Incarnati0n, there wasn't enough solid proof that he was doing it. As I understand it, with this guy, it was proven without doubt.

Sorry if this question is stupid, but who exactly is that guy?

He was a Challenger Series players in the EUCS.

EUCS = The tournament to decide who gets a chance at becoming an EULCS team next split.

Kymori REFORMEDJun 11, 20152 votes

No he was not. Brigata has never played a competetive game in his life, he wanted to get into CS.

Why is every European named "Marcel"?

R1vveJun 11, 20152 votes

Just French and germans are named Marcel :P

JamoreJun 11, 20152 votes

Can't Riot sue him for DDoS? Might actually help prevent others from doing it if they actually go after someone.

What a filthy beater.

All these competitive rulings are insane. Why are so many ppl fucking up so close within each other?!

Must be trash day

R1vveJun 11, 20151 votes

Probably checking up on all the challenger players before Challenger Series starts

WickedfatesJun 11, 20151 votes

because riot keeps allowing them back in

RomcoJun 11, 20152 votes

Well when it comes to making your potential break out. Players are looking for small advantages to look convincingly good to teams and such. Add in an ultra competitive market it's pretty much a given some players will attempt to cheat.

EU is soo toxic, garbage region with salty and sore losers. Last time NA had those issues were Haxo in season 2. EU servers should be removed from this game and all EU players should play on oce.

Well when NA players learn how to play LoL then maybe. Until such time of course...

CantripsJun 25, 20152 votes

I take issue with both of these statements. It's not a pissing contest, mates. Both servers have shite and diamonds. Leave it.

While I applaud banning a DDoSer/drophacker, I just hope they don't think they're upholding any sort of competitive integrity here. To do so they need it to exist in the first place, and with hacks such as these along with scripts and other assorted hacks endemic to every level of ranked play, it doesn't.
