The news of krbY’s cheating and subsequent ban from Multiplay events for the next 12 months is regrettably the biggest story UKCSGO has ever broken. The punishment has divided opinion. Many think that it is as black and white as cheating equals a ban. However that is naive and shows a distinct lack of understanding.
The evidence, as it stands, is a cheat-bust video and comments which are at best circumstantial.
"xenn^: might do some funny s**t on lan" "Just like, something that looks legit on LAN"
These comments do not mean he will cheat on LAN. It is entirely ridiculous to even consider these comments when trying to reach a verdict in this case. The only evidence that should be considered is the cheat-bust video. In this video, krbY is cheating on a public server.
There is no precedent (as far as I am aware) in UK CS for players who have been caught cheating on public to be banned from competition. Multiplay and other tournament organisers cannot simply pick and choose which cases they deem worthy of a ban without setting forth some form of rule set. It seems like they have reacted to the publicity of this case, rather than the seriousness of it.
It is completely unjustified to ban a player from competition for cheating in a public environment. Particularly when there are players competing at the same events who have cheated in far more serious circumstances and have the VAC and other forms of bans. If krbY’s ban is to be upheld, I call for all VAC banned players, or players banned from other competitions to receive similar punishments.
Until all players are treated equally, it is in my opinion beyond debate that this is an unjust punishment. I’m sure many will still disagree with my stance and that is fine. However I’m sure we can all agree that consistent punishments for all players should be a given.

who the fuck cares if he cheated in public servers, it doesnt justify he cheated, good riddance he can fuck off
@ukcsgo @EBcsgo @Multiplay @krby_cs who cares if he cheated in public, good riddance he can piss off? doesnt matter where he cheated
@ukcsgo @EBcsgo @Multiplay @krby_cs it doesnt justify him cheating, punishment is correct, cheat on the game even on puklic, get banned
Cheatings cheating. He is meant to be a representative of the UK scene. How can UK players advance when we are all considered hackers and cheaters???
There is no injustice. The kid gets caught and proceeds to suggest he was trolling, however that’s speculative. Fact is he suggested he was going to use it on LAN. There’s enough people in Esports cheating against legitimate players as it is. He’s banned from competing in Multiplay and I’d encourage the ESL to follow suit. He’ll certainly be banned from any upcoming tournaments I’m dealing with.
@dignitasGlendi @ukcsgo @EBcsgo @Multiplay @krby_cs I think the focus should be on the inconsistency of punishments for players 🙂
@maxybCSGO @ukcsgo @EBcsgo @Multiplay @krby_cs not like a lot of uk players get caught trying to cheat or cheating though
Incoming vac anyway. Used public hack on public server. Hell be on a new account soon.
As for the lan stuff. Lan hax are pretty hard to catch and with us being less than a month out from lan i think mpuk is right to be cautious.
He had no reason to try snd see if afro had a finger in hack world and why would he actually use then abd be shocked its not platinum. Common sense

@molecsgo @ukcsgo @EBcsgo @Multiplay @krby_cs @RNR_Blanks Washing my fascias this weekend, news.
@ukcsgo @EBcsgo @Multiplay @krby_cs soo robiin is allowed to continue with a vac ban in cs, css and csgo yet @krby_cs banned, [1/2]
@ukcsgo @EBcsgo @Multiplay @krby_cs if you offered the chance to get in a private hack circle to most players they’d probs jump at it!
@molecsgo @ukcsgo @EBcsgo @Multiplay @krby_cs @RNR_Blanks More importantly, when am I defending my county cup championship?
@molecsgo @ukcsgo @EBcsgo @Multiplay @krby_cs @RNR_Blanks what about your mole hair O.o
@NerdRage_pro @ukcsgo @EBcsgo @Multiplay @krby_cs this was exactly my point earlier today
@ukcsgo @EBcsgo @krby_cs @Multiplay If caught hacking in any CSGO game in the past year they should be banned from LAN, blanket rule, ez
Pressing download on a hack should be a straight up ban. Cheating is cheating no matter what server you do it on
@NerdRage_pro @ukcsgo @EBcsgo @Multiplay @krby_cs your argument skills are second to none. Fantastic work @NerdRage_pro
@NerdRage_pro @ukcsgo @EBcsgo @Multiplay @krby_cs I wouldn’t #honest
@ukcsgo @EBcsgo @Multiplay @krby_cs I agree, I think all cheaters should be banned, no matter where they cheated! Equality for all!
@ukcsgo @EBcsgo @Multiplay @krby_cs wtf why has he been banned? The stigma of him possibly cheating will keep him away from teams n events
@dephh_csgo @ukcsgo @EBcsgo @Multiplay @krby_cs The video of him physically cheating probably got him banned
@sM_cs1 @ukcsgo @EBcsgo @Multiplay @krby_cs not arguing with the outcome, think it should be fairly enforced though!
@dephh_csgo @ukcsgo @EBcsgo @Multiplay hey thanks big man!
@Gizmo_GH @ukcsgo @Multiplay @krby_cs So you think if a player was caught cheating at LAN the same 12 month ban would be fair? Real equality
@EBcsgo @ukcsgo @Multiplay @krby_cs I think a ban should be applied to all cheaters online or at LAN I didn’t mention time frames..
@EBcsgo @ukcsgo @Multiplay @krby_cs but you always have to allow for rehabilitation of wrongdoers so there should be rules set by events.
@EBcsgo @ukcsgo @Multiplay @krby_cs haven’t argued with anything you said, so.. I don’t know what warranted that response 😀
@Gizmo_GH @ukcsgo @Multiplay @krby_cs Sorry just saw similar comments that try to suggest cheating on public is comparable to competitions
@EBcsgo @Gizmo_GH @ukcsgo @Multiplay @krby_cs so if you cheat in an online event it’s not as bad as a LAN event? What about faceit? MM?
@NerdRage_pro @ukcsgo @EBcsgo @Multiplay @krby_cs just curious when I got banned in 1.6 or CSS, feel free to link villiG
@robiinCS @NerdRage_pro @ukcsgo @Multiplay @krby_cs I’m sorry people are involving you, it was not my intention.
