Default Harvard University team busted for cheating

http://www.pcgamer.com/heroes-of-the...-for-cheating/



A “Team Disqualifications” notice posted on the Heroes of the Dorm website says a player on Harvard's Team Ambush was sharing his account with another, higher-rated player who wasn't on the roster during official tournaments. That's basically the same as putting nose glasses on David Price and having him pitch for your beer league team, and as you might imagine, it's a big no-no.



“We have zero tolerance for cheating in our tournaments. The rules are in place to ensure a fair playing field for all participants—when these rules are abused, they put the integrity of the competition at risk. The students found to be sharing their Battle.net accounts and the players with whom they were sharing will be banned indefinitely from participation in any future Tespa tournaments,” Blizzard wrote. “In addition, Blizzard Entertainment will be taking disciplinary actions against the Battle.net accounts involved.”


What is worse, that they tried to cheat, or they got caught cheating?

Cheating is bad. Catching cheating is good.

That's actually hysterical!

I mean, not unprecedented in the gaming world, but still impressive to command that much backlash from Blizzard
