I've said a lot on Twitter about all of this, but I'll summarise my feelings here.

1. The first question we have to ask is: Is the boost legal according to the rules. Initially, with limited viewing and a few minutes after, I would say it probably was. After careful examination in the screenshots and in Hammer, it is unquestionably not a ledge that should be used to stand on. In other words, it is pixel walking.

2. Understand the difficulty of the admins making a split second decision during the game. It's almost impossible to make the call with 100% certainty. That said, it absolutely should be reviewed if the other team have made a complaint and as far as I know, LDLC have made a formal complaint about the second half of Overpass and therefore the boost.

3. I don't personally blame fnatic for using the boost or hiding it from others before this game, however there are a few things we should consider in all of this. Firstly, they hid this from all of the other teams by asking someone to remove the boost from reddit two months ago. That in itself questions the integrity of the team or the person who asked for that to be removed. The team were also supposedly working with Valve on the new maps and helping improve them. Finding a boost like this would ordinarily have meant telling Valve about it, but I think we also forget that these are top, professional players who want to win above all else. With the money and prestige involved in the game now, it is human nature to push the envelope. I am not condoning foul play, cheating or making use of exploits in the game, but we would all be naive if we thought that every player would share every trick they ever found in the game if it gave them an advantage. With that said, I feel in this case, such a map breaking boost should have been reported, though not for one second do I believe fnatic knowingly broke the rules by using it. Why would they use something so obviously game changing if they didn't believe it was legal? They simply wouldn't have risked being removed from the tournament on that basis.

4. It's not in the spirit of the game - I absolutely agree with this.

5. Strictly speaking, if the organiser rules the boost is illegal, they have a difficult decision to make. Either they remove fnatic from the competition and put LDLC through or they make them replay the map (or the second half with the score at 12-3 to LDLC). Removing fnatic may seem like the right thing to do. In the harsh cold light of day, they cheated. But as I said earlier, it's not that simple. Some would say if its pixel walking then fnatic deserve to be kicked out and it's hard to disagree with this. Personally speaking, I'd prefer to see the map restarted at 12-3 on the second half and both teams given the chance to prove who should have gone through regardless of the boost.

6. fnatic are scumbags for doing this. I absolutely disagree with this. They used something they knew would give them an advantage but they did not believe it was illegal, even if it went against the spirit of the game. The aim, as harsh as this may sound, is to win at all costs within the rules. Spirit doesn't come in to it and we are all naive if we think it does.

7. It's a lot easier for all of us (rather than the organiser) to make judgement calls with all of the evidence pouring in and when we have the luxury of an hour to look at it all. Given the organisers have said the admins are reviewing the issue, we should be respectful that they too need to take their time in making not only a judgement on the boost, but also the punishment.

8. Emotions are running high right now as many have lost points on stickers and others have lost a ton of "money" on skins and betting. Some are defenders of their favourite teams (including fnatic) and others are just disappointed at the way the game ended. What needs to happen now though requires zero emotion and a calm decision made that is sensible and reasonable and I think the guys at Dreamhack will do just that.

Let common sense prevail.
