Competitive ruling: 五花瞟 (UPDATED)

[Dominika]

UPDATE: After receiving information pointing out that there is another account impersonating “五花膘”, which in fact violated the rules, we’re adjusting our announcement to address this problem. Player Xiang “五花膘” Xianling will be able to play in GWENT Open 4, as there are no issues with his account. Our sincere apologies for the confusion and inconvenience caused!

After investigating reports about suspicious behavior on the ranked ladder during the last Ranked Season ("Season of the Dryad"), we have found that player using account “五花瞟” violated paragraph 12.3 (a) of the GWENT Masters ruleset:

12.3. Cheating. Cheating of any kind will not be tolerated and includes (but is not limited to) any of the following, whether actual, attempted, direct, indirect, intentional or otherwise:

a) match-fixing, colluding with others (which includes without limitation sharing prize money with other Participants) or taking any action intended to alter or interfere with the results of any part of the GWENT Masters

With multiple confirmed instances of soft play, forfeits and intentional disconnects during the last Ranked Season, the following decision was made to ensure the competitive integrity of the game:

• Reset Crown Points earned by 五花瞟 in the ranked Season of the Dryad
• Ban account “五花瞟” for a period of 1 month

We’d like to use this opportunity to remind every player of the importance of following GWENT Masters rules, fair play and conducting themselves to the highest standards of integrity and good sportsmanship. Cheating of any kind, as always, will not be tolerated.

could you explain the whole history?

Some player are speaking this guy with the chinese name helped wangid. Also others players with chinese names helped wangid, playing stupid matches and forfeiting.

Its that true? Wangid will be punished too?

Because the update in the original post is clearly very important — at least to some players, and because updates do not flag as “new” posts in the forums, and because there are players like me who only read new posts, I just wanted to call attention to the change in the original post.

FFS Wangid, have some integrity.

Where is the accusation/source coming from? If so, CDPR would check Wangid's gameplay history and see if there are suspicious gameplays. I was watching him playing and streaming during the last 2 days of climb and didn't see that happening, and he's beating CyberZ, shaggy, and kams and got beaten by them as well so I would say 1. He definitely didn't cheat because then he wouldn't stream all those matches, just to be watched and exposed? 2. He played matches with the highest level opponents with more wins than losses (CDPR can check his history on both his matches to those top players as well as potential fraud players) 3. He is one of the most consistent and strong players through 2019-2021 with solid performance, I doubt he would risk his professional life through some stupid feeding.
