Counter-Strike: Dh delivers ESWC qualifier protest

By: Luis Mira - Published June 29, 2007 at 2:07 PM EDT - Writer Archive
Delinquent Habits has delivered a protest regarding the Greek ESWC qualifier final against Vatos Locos.
The protest regards the Grand Final of the Greek ESWC qualifier, which took place last weekend and saw Vatos Locos coming out on top, thus winning the berth to Paris.

Delinquent Habits believes Thanasis "HACKER" Stamoulis of Vatos Locos to have used silent run in the match at least a dozen of times, something that the local rules strictly forbid and penalize with disqualification.

Delinquent Habits asks for the admins to review the match and disqualify Vatos Locos, which would make DH the new Greek Counter-Strike representative in France.

"This protest represents our opinion which defends that the admins should check the silent steps made by the player," Stefanos "iNsideR" Chalkidis told GotFrag.com.

Stamoulis finds this situation unrealistic and sees no reason for a penalty to be given to Vatos Locos.

"I think this is ridiculous, it is not true that I used silent run during the match and the admins checked the demo and said that I didn't do anything," Stamoulis said.

The local ESWC committee has already commented on this matter, defending the current ESWC champions and saying there wasn't any illegal action during the match.

"After watching the demo from the game, we saw that there was no silent run in any of the rounds that team Dh had said. Especially in the 2 cases in which team Dh put more emphasis into, Hacker's ducks could be easily heard from any angle (first person of free look).

"The admins of the tournament checked Hacker's controls before the game and they saw no bindind problems with the duck and even if there was, all Hacker's ducks steps could have been heard, so there is no silent run or violation of any kind going on."

Mind you, If you pay attention on the 4th round ( VL as Terrorists ), hacker runs on the ramp and xtremer doesn't hear him. People informed me that gounis during the specific movement unleashed a huge and stinky fart. As a result, xtremer couldn't "smell", as we greeks say, hacker's move and got owned.

So you think you can silently walk?

Bunch of idiots, if you think they're doing it you complain there and then, not 1 week late.
Sooth: They are professional players. Football players can play with broken noses, heads, fingers.

obviously this is a shameless attempt to get themselves into eswc paris despite thier loss. but whatever thier motives, admins should be cracking down on this type of stuff... and vl should be disqualified if they did silent run.

yeah it sounds logical to make such a claim at the time that the groups have already been formed for eswc finals..

and i doubt it seriously that you need to watch a demo 6 days in a row in order to watch it really carefully

all u manage to do is widen hackers reputation and make people sceptical about your actions not to mention your motives..

gl to VL at france

I must ask though: Why does it matter? I mean sure it'd probably be nice to see france and all that but seriously, you won't win anything in cs. Too good of a tournament.
"You sir, are an ignorant SOB who will not get anyhere in the eSports community."

GL VL`s @ France -.-

silent running isnt completely silent....still it is very ghey and annoying because you dont pay attention as much and the guys just pop out full speed.

I think all tournaments should ban crouch running. Its not a skill and its a glitch.
now go home and get your fucking shinebox!

I agree that the Greek Admins probably dont know what silent running is. Its never completely silent, but yes its a glitch and a very ghey one. If it was against the rules then they should be disqualified.
now go home and get your fucking shinebox!

Should they be disqualified a week after winning the ESWC ?

Even if the greek admins don't have the experience judging whether Hacker silent ran or not , nor have the greek players the experience to silent walk !!

Does this sound fair to you ?
OF COURSE NOT !

Maybe Greeks (what an unworthy word) don't know what silent walk is , but maybe we should first understand what "protest" is and its time limits ...
in the end only i will remain ... dubio ergo cogito , cogito ergo sum .

Well if it's against the rules, then that isn't DH's fault is it? It is up to the admins to enforce the rules but unfortunately, due to a lack of expeirence, they clearly have no clue.

unfortunately greek admins dont have the experience of the international admins eg the swedish,germans etc and after the group stage selection it is hard for a team to be disqualified whether they have broken any rule or not.So gl to vl at france and next gear use wallhack :D
