I have a fun fact about the BSGO tournaments: recently the BSGO staff reviewed a recent tournament for cheating
and removed some players from the winners list. Then some of the players protested and some got their winnings
back. Anyway the ones who didn’t are still playing so nothing really happened. Kind of a jailhouse mentality on
BSGO: don’t tell the warden, cheating’s ok. Here’s another fun fact: this guy accused BSGO of cheating and
the moderator closed the thread right off the bat: no discussion, no denial. So funny TeeHee. You can call anybody
any foul word in the the chat section, maybe not the forum or maybe you could, but mention cheating and It’s
like saying you’re going over to someone’s house and do something bad to them.
One of the moderators recently supported a player’s desire to create an additional account, even though Bigpoint’s
- the game company that owns BSGO – rules prohibits more than one account per player.
