I've been a SK fanboy since it went live and stuck up for it multiple times in various threads. Today is the first day since SK went live that I'm not playing. I even played on the days that the SPS rewards were turned off but the tournaments were still playable.
I'll keep looking here and discord for the rest of the year and see how things look when the new rules go into play at the start of the new year. For now though, between 1 person running 4 of the top 10 accounts in league 2 and having to pay to play, I'm just not going to bother until it looks like I have a shot at decently placing again. To be fair it isn't as bad as it was last week/beginning of this week before DC clarified that multi-accounts would be no longer allowed. At that point 10 of the top 15 places in league 2 were 2 people playing a combined 10 accounts(4 for 1 and 6 for the other).
I'm fairly certain that those with multi-accounts are just making new ones as we speak that don't all have to similar names so they can continue like they are. Even if DC implements IP checks can that not just be circumvented with a VPN or IP spoofing software or something?
If DC decides to KYC all accounts to make sure things stay fair as possible, I'll be back. If SPL can do it for tourneys so can SK.
If DC removes the play cost I'll come back and continue as another mid level player occasionally hitting the top 10 for my league but mostly falling into the upper or lower 50%, boosting the league player count slightly and allowing an extra slot to be paid.
I didn't know those details so interesting indeed. Sad to see them miss on these obvious things.
