After cheating allegations Archon releases ‘Hosty’

After allegations that he cheated in a Hearthstone tournament match earlier, Raphael ‘Hosty’ Tsantili has been released from his team, Archon.

 

The team’s official account tweeted out the news with a tweet that read:

 

“Archon has decided to release Hosty from the team. We in no way condone anything that would compromise the integrity of the game.”

 

However, the creator of the team also tweeted out on his own personal account that he didn’t think Hosty had cheated in the game and was a great guy, saying that the release of the player was not solely down to the match and the allegations of cheating made.

 

As for what Hosty is supposed to have done, the match was streamed out for viewers to watch. The allegation against Hosty alleges that he had the tournament stream open on his second monitor, with people saying that the reflection of this could be seen in a picture behind him. Of course, the stream was on a 10 minute delay so any information about what cards his opponent had would have been out of date, but still potentially useful to know.

The Twitch chat was where the allegations were first made, and a Reddit post was shortly made carrying the news to Redditors everywhere. The mods took it down on the rule of ‘no witch hunting’ but has since put it back up in light of the dismissal. Hosty himself has been to offer the defence that he did have the channel on his second monitor but he had it stopped at the time of play.

 

Right now, we don’t know 100% if there was cheating going on. What it does say is that rules need to be made in how best to conduct Hearthstone tournaments to minimise cheating and the possible accusations of cheating. Hopefully a bigger group can find some good guidelines and begin to set an example to be followed.

 

After all, no one likes to see a competition derailed with accusations.
