And one more thing: Input Director is apparently a legitimate piece of software under the tournament rules, so feel free to use it. Streamer Soopi has proven that, so you can use it with confidence.
And if you are not banned, the Korean side could simply agree not to play and sabotage the tournament themselves.
Remember: when you receive the tournament rules document, save it carefully.
To our brothers and sisters in Thailand, China, and other countries: be careful. If you play better than a Korean player or kill a Korean player, you could potentially get banned as well.
Finally, I hope the new followers gained by the second-tier streamer Soopi last as long as possible. Karma will come sooner or later.
Our players have been, are, and will always be heroes. Another, bigger and better door will open for them.
I hope Krafton continues to receive even more negative feedback. I hope PUBG gets boycotted. I hope IMBRAND continues to gain support through creating drama. And I hope that nobody wants to participate in tournaments organized by the Korean side anymore.
A game that is not worth playing.
A tournament that is not worth participating in.
A country that is not worth arguing with.
A company that has completely failed in its responsibilities.
A streamer who is far too sensitive.
and yet players are punished even when they did not violate the rules.
Similar conduct by other streamers has gone unpunished. Even more serious violations, such as the use of unauthorized software, hacks, or cheats, are completely ignored.
A tournament where the rules can be changed midway simply to benefit the country hosting or controlling the event. Rules are written with loopholes, participants are explicitly told to take responsibility for those issues themselves,
Permanently banning two players for an offense that the accuser herself also committed — now that is what South Korea calls “fairness” and “fair play.”
Today it may be Vietnam. Tomorrow, it could be you.
Soopi herself deleted that livestream from her channel. Why delete it if you were in the right?
Yet no one on the Korean side was willing to properly investigate and determine who was actually right or wrong. Their ego is simply too big.
There is clear evidence showing that the streamer herself was also stream-sniping: her eyes were looking toward another screen, and there was a Chrome tab open with a PUBG stream. The third-party software was reportedly being used to macro weapon recoil.
South Korea did not beat these two young Vietnamese players in the game, so they came up with another way to win: banning them from playing the game.
What is even more ridiculous is that the Korean side did not even properly investigate Soopi’s own livestream.
There was absolutely no rule prohibiting stream-sniping. Yet after the incident happened, the organizers arbitrarily changed the rules and applied a punishment framework to conduct that did NOT violate the competition rules.
The tournament rules in effect since September 14 clearly stated that every streamer was responsible for controlling their own stream delay and would TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY PROBLEMS THAT MIGHT OCCUR.
while this female gamer was not punished despite using third-party software — an offense that should be considered extremely serious because it affects competitive fairness.
Soopi was using a third-party software called “Input Director,” and had a Chrome tab open with a PUBG stream. Yet two Vietnamese players were punished for stream-sniping, receiving the harshest possible penalty,
