Because of this cracked version of Cheating-Death making it possible for all unidentified Cheats, we have been forced to close all Counter-Strike Ladders until further notice and upon clarifying the state of affairs they will not reopen. By this, all possibilities to create a match are affected like the manual challenge, Instant Challenger and the Auto challenger.

We regret having to go to this final bitter step, however, we want to guarantee that the league can continue untroubled. The change of the Anti-Cheat recommendation to VAC, first implied by us alone cannot achieve the guaranteed affectiveness we want from our ladders.

Any matches that were arranged before the ladder stop may still be played, however any teams that do not wish to play their matches can delete the match at their own will.
