WaaaghTV will be available for as many matches as possible!

Two weeks ago a new ESL Aequitas Update was released, which had been in the works for several months. With this update Aequitas is able to detect all the currently known hacks, especially those which call themself "Aequitas proofed". To get the most out of this update we collected the names of cheaters until today. But in the coming hours we will hand out all the necesarry penaltypoints, over 160 cheaters will be removed from the leagues.

One of the "trophies" cheaters like to collect is that of the statistics in their ESL playersheet. The number of won / lost matches and the number of points won aren't easy to reset. Until now! From now on all the stats from a conficted cheater will be deleted.

The tension is high as anything can happen this Sunday. Who will make it to the offline finals? Who will grab the playoffs spots, and who will grab that last playdowns slot? This season's climax is at hand, so be sure not to miss it! GIGA 2 raffle inside.
