Just remembering that Pure is the same guy that was booted from Virtus.pro for draw a large Z, signaling support to the Russian invasion, in the minimap during the Stockholm major.

The cheating judgement came straight from the tournement organisers just parroted by spectators. I feel this is a correct decision, but the fact he was even allowed to do it in the first place should be a mitigating factor. When doing exams on conputers you get blocked from accessing what you shouldn’t so why the TO didn’t do something similar is questionable.
Agreed on your second point - how did these things happen in an international tournament involving large amounts of prize money in the first place? And was this something that other TOs had successfully prevented, that the current one dropped the ball on? Or was this always a security and integrity lapse that existed and that we’ve only just spotted, which would imply the possibility of this happening in previous tournaments or even the DPC without being detected? They can’t ALL be THAT incompetent, right…?
About the penalty that BB received, I’d be fine with it if it didn’t seem like it was pulled out from thin air, but it does so it irks me a little. Again, just a lack of prep that makes the officials look incompetent, and really doesn’t inspire confidence in the state of future tournaments.
