@MHoaNg271@NONNA_PUBG 4. for your side. Inventing retroactive moral punishments for actions that are NOT banned in the official tournament rules—while blatantly ignoring past precedents—is exactly the kind of biased "sportsmanship" that reminds people of the 2002 World Cup.
@Arsenic_Toxin@MHoaNg271@NONNA_PUBG Regarding your argument that "not being in the rules doesn't mean it's allowed": In professional esports, penalties MUST be grounded in the official rulebook. If an action is not explicitly banned, on exactly what legal basis are the organizers penalizing these players? You canno
@MHoaNg271@NONNA_PUBG 3. If professional misconduct is "fiercely criticized" as you claim, where was this moral outrage when teams from other countries openly stream-sniped in this exact tournament previously? "Dignity" and "sportsmanship" shouldn't be selective weapons used only when it's convenient
@Arsenic_Toxin@MHoaNg271@NONNA_PUBG In this exact same tournament in previous years, teams from other countries stream-sniped openly and had fun doing it without any backlash. If it was completely fine for them back then, why is it suddenly a huge issue this year? What is the real reason behind this double standard
@Arsenic_Toxin@MHoaNg271@NONNA_PUBG If you actually read section 3.7 (Anti-cheating measures) of the official rulebook provided to the players for this event, there is absolutely ZERO mention of banning stream sniping.
@Arsenic_Toxin@MHoaNg271@NONNA_PUBG This means the organizers explicitly put the burden of protecting information on the streamer. If a team gets stream-sniped because they chose not to add a delay, the rules clearly state it's their own fault. No one broke any rules by watching.
@Arsenic_Toxin@MHoaNg271@NONNA_PUBG In fact, the rule explicitly states: 'It is recommended that players streaming personally set a reasonable delay to avoid information leaks' and 'Players bear full responsibility for any risks or disadvantages arising from livestreaming.'

@AllabouthHenry@dbanhdb@nguynhiu877930@tgltnPUBG 1. I can confirm with 100% certainty that the staff member works directly for PUBG
2. Regarding your point about "standard practice": If you actually read the specific rulebook sent by the organizers to the players for this event, there is absolutely ZERO rule banning stream snip
