It all started the year before last, when we, as part of 4Pirates, qualified for the FISSURE PLAYGROUND closed qualification. Then we beat 1win Team, 9Pandas and the Dahak team in the upper bracket. Many people didn’t like this very much, and immediately there was talk that we were playing with cheats. Because of this, the players themselves asked the admins to monitor our screens, including mine. Despite the fact that the administrators did not find anything suspicious, the rumors did not stop there. Even at subsequent tournaments, including the EPL, players from other teams personally wrote to the admins that I was playing with cheats and clicking into space, asking them to check it. Even then, zverHDD explained to people that I play with the panel on the right and because of it I can check auras.

[ Do you think there is at least one moment that, after watching for the first time, a person might actually think that you are using cheats? ] Yes, sure. I actually get more information from the map thanks to this panel. But can a function that is available in the game be called cheats?

[You often make decisions that even professionals call illogical. Where do they come from? ] In fact, there are not many such solutions (there are none). Most often we are talking about dewarding. People think these are cheats, although this is just a support instinct. I wouldn't say that I'm a unique player. Some kind of prejudice.

• At some points I prick, revise smokey, because I see that people pressed smoke on their auras;
• Often devarju varda;
• Before a fight, I regularly click scan for reconnaissance and try to play based on this information.

I think this will only end when I play a major LAN. When I play under constant supervision and show the same level that I show now. As they say, we wait and believe.
