TEAMING UP WITH CHEATERS PENALTY ESCALATION ANNOUNCEMENT

TEAMING UP WITH CHEATERS PENALTY ESCALATION ANNOUNCEMENT::

In this announcement, we will go over the act of teaming up with cheaters, and the new punishments we are enforcing for players who are involved in such actions. Teaming up with cheaters is generally defined as inviting a cheater into your duo or squad team, with the intention of gaining ratings through being on the same team as the cheater. Some players that are teaming up with cheaters do not have any cheating software activated on their end. However, they benefit from being on the same team as the cheater. Ultimately, their actions motivate and encourage other players to do the same, leading to an unfair gaming environment. We have deemed that players who involve themselves with cheaters in such a manner will be subject not only to account suspensions, tier rating removals and earning deductions, but also to the following newly-implemented punishments: white_small_square Players who have been confirmed to team up with cheaters will receive a warning through the in-game mail system and enter an observation period where their ratings are halved or set to 0. white_small_square Players who have been confirmed to team up with cheaters multiple times will be permanently suspended and have their tier ratings removed. If you suspect a team player of cheating, please report them, leave the match as soon as possible, and avoid teaming up with them again
