Also they should cover the $40 you lost at the casino.

Amen to that. Any $ amount is a rip off with 2 out of every ten games you're be cheated on

The situation has spiraled so far out of control that they’ve had to create a separate forum just to make the topic taboo—it’s clear it’s bad for business. The platform says one thing publicly but does another behind the scenes, and the lack of transparency is staggering.

 

Since the introduction of leagues, the rate of cheating has skyrocketed. And it’s not just casual players; the bad example set by professional players like Hans Niemann, Niels from Norway, or the infamous “GM Bathroom” scandals only adds fuel to the fire. Yet, instead of addressing the core issue, they go after players like José Martinez, as if he’s the problem.

 

The server seems overrun by engine users, and the platform’s solution is to say they’ve closed accounts, while asking us not to talk about it. They want these conversations pushed to obscure forums like their “North Pole” forum, where cheaters and their protectors already congregate. It’s a racket and a scam, and the platform has lost millions being sued—ironically—by an admitted cheater. You can’t make this up.

 

And the app? Why does it need access to all my browsing data? It’s laughable at this point.

 

Things get ugly fast. Danny Rensch, for example, knows exactly what’s happening—and he knows the problem runs much deeper than what’s being openly discussed. At the pro level? It’s an embarrassment of the lowest caliber.

 

For me, the only time I actually improved was with a real coach—surprise, right? Now, I’m sticking to paying for the cheapest subbing option. But honestly, seeing the platform’s failure to address these issues makes it hard to justify even spending 20 bucks. The fake rating system and the constant battles against “fake humans” have turned what should be fun into something deeply frustrating.

Canceled whatever level membership I had (whatever was the minimum for game reviews I had) due to the increasing tyrannical censorship in the forums.
