Thank you for respecting and taking note of our concern. But to be honest, respect and attention is not what the CIS community needs - we need the truth and evidence.
And be sure, all the people who think that we support NEO because we are friends or somehow associated, the CIS community will stand for NEO as long as it has no reasons to distrust him. Prove us that the use of the rope bug was intentional, and we will be silent. Up until then, he is behind us like he is behind a wall made of stone.
Firstly, no, you do not speak for all Slavic people. ProNeo did enough wrong that it's obvious to anyone who is willing to be impartial... and I'm sure that CDPR -- primarily Polish people, are not targeting a Ukranian player out of some sort of racism. If you want to talk politics, Poland does favour Western countries more, but to claim racism against a Ukranian is a FAR stretch... I know many Polaks and they by no means hate Ukranians (or Russians, as some are strangely bringing up).
I for one call some of my Ukrainian friends "brother" light-heartedly, and I would love it if a Slav made it to the tournament, and better yet, won the money. But I'm more interested in what is fair, and for the best player to win through skill (and a little luck of course -- despite no RNG in gwont).
Here is some "solid proof"... take it from someone who works as a quant/analyst:
Let's label event X: bug occurs
If P(X) is small (probability of X), the likelihood of someone activating this bug is small.
Of course, it will happen, people will trigger bugs, sometimes to their favour, other times to their disadvantage.
But what if a single player disproportionately triggers a certain bug... is this by pure luck? This is often grounds to have someone flagged for an audit/investigation, and in court of law, holds as evidence to convict. Statistically significant is often good enough -- because if you're looking for a confession from ProNeo, or somewhere where he posted "Aha, I am cheating with the rope bug" as the only way to convict him, then you are living in a fantasy world.
CDPR has access to ProNeo's games, and I am sure, given how long they took to respond to this, that they had someone investigate it properly.
Moreover, House of Cards throwing a win over to ProNeo... just randomly? Why? Given that these two players are friends, you think this was by pure coincidence? I agree with you that the couple of videos from Freddy aren't enough for a conviction, but they are enough to cause great suspicion, and we can trust CDPR looked into it.
I hope ProNeo returns after his ban and proves he can win legitimately. I doubt he will, usually people think they're spiting the company by quitting for good... but if that's the case, the integrity of competition is far more important to uphold.
Just my take.
