Maniac: "I can't forgive KQLY"

23-11-2014 18:16

Titan member Mathieu "Maniac" Quiquerez has acknowledged that the ban handed to Hovik "KQLY" Tovmassian has been hard to sink in.

The French team were handed a heavy blow on Thursday as Hovik "⁠KQLY⁠" Tovmassian fell into disgrace after being caught in the latest wave of VAC bans.

In addition to losing one of their players, Titan have also seen their chances of winning DreamHack Winter's $100,000 prize go up in flames as they were disqualified from the tournament.

Maniac lashes out at KQLY

Mathieu "⁠Maniac⁠" Quiquerez has now issued a statement on Facebook to comment on KQLY's ban, admitting he cannot be sure whether his former team-mate cheated while playing for Titan or not.

"First of all, I want to apologize for my silence lately. I wanted to clear my thoughts to avoid reacting in a very emotional way," he wrote on Facebook.

"These recent days have been like an earthquake to me, so I’ll try to express myself in the most understandable and structured way.

"First, about KQLY; Even though I can’t be sure (and nobody can) in what measure he used this cheat, I still can’t forgive him for taking such a tremendous risk for the team. If his explanation is true (that he just tested it) then I blame him for his lack of consciousness. If he’s lying, then I simply have no words for it…

"You might call me naive, but when I attended my first CS LANs (around 2003), if a cheater was there, it was quite obvious. You either had speedhack, aimbot or wallhack and all those possibilities were not so hard to distinguish.

"Before I heard about this drama, I wasn’t even aware that you could just 'boost your aim for 10%' or something like this. In my head, if a player was performing in a non-BYOC tournament, then he was just a beast…

"Sadly enough, we’ve all realized that reality isn’t that simple and that’s hard for me to accept… I just can’t realize how you can consciously cheat in that kind of tournaments and still looking at yourself in a mirror."

Looking ahead, the Swiss talent believes that Titan will come out of this turbulent period a stronger team.

"Even though I have been really sad in the last couple of days about this situation, I have NEVER BEEN SO MOTIVATED," he stated.

On Wednesday I’ll finally regather with my team at the gaming house and my only objective will be to help my teammates so that we can reborn from our ashes.

"It’s never been in my personality to feel like a victim. Such a difficult event makes the binds betweens individuals tighter and stronger. If we can pull through, the other teams will have to fear us, because our motivation and our desire will have no limits.

"Yes, we are in a dark situation. Yes ,we will miss probably the biggest event of the year. But we will fight and come back stronger, that I can promise you. We will first focus on ESEA with our coach ioRek as fifth and then we will have some times to think about the future and figure out the best solution for us."

Lets put it this way: he said: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10. Then repeated 1-10 again but saying "fucking" before the numbers, so it means 20. Him meaning 5/10 is because he is 10 / fucking 10 (20) and because 10 is half of 20, he said 5 because it is half of 10

This seems legit, the only thing that is wrong with this shit, is that olof is actually a pro player, who knows how to play this game. -Supexo

2014-11-23 18:48

From what I've seen, olofm is not cheating and to be honest, we don't have any proof that anyone is cheating but the ones receiving a VAC ban. But we have seen suspicious clips from plays by flusha where he randomly aim lock on people that he cant even see or hear.

2014-11-23 19:38

omg so legit

OMG you're so clueless you don't even understand

2014-11-23 18:29

Then explain what I'm misunderstanding?

dude, I understand if you're pissed off if you think flusha cheats, but schneider hasn't done anything. He played with flusha for a long time before - of course it would be hard to think that your mate is cheating after that.

why don't you just rat out jw now that you got kicked from fnatic? he's cheating and you could be the one to terminate his career. are they paying you to stay quiet? sticker money? how much? i'll double it.

I am not saying JW cheated in it but if you think xelos and emilio played clean then I am sorry for your bad eyesight.

2014-11-23 18:50

Maybe he cheated. But stop people are saying he is covering up his friends. Just wait and see if get banned or not.

2014-11-23 19:35

you just said "playing WITH xelos jw and emilio when THEY were cheating" so you referred with they to xelos jw and emilio. "I am not saying JW cheated in it".. dude wtf? make up your mind.

2014-11-23 19:43

....Didn't mean at any point to call JW cheater, but emilio and xelos were 100% obvious in those. Maybe I should edit it but idc :D To me, they all are cheaters even without proof

emilio and xelos were obviously obvious after they got banned. did you say they were obvious before that happened? i didnt think so. "To me, they all are cheaters even without proof" and you just said you didnt mean to call jw a cheater? wut is happening in ur mind? :D

2014-11-23 20:18

I didn't care about comp. scene in GO at that time, didn't even play much back then. And that second part is a semi joke dedicated to their team (you know, JW must've known they cheated and so on).

2014-11-23 20:20

yeah just as all the players in the past 3 very well known teams kqly played with must have known he cheated.. or the same thing with sf & smn.. well, nope.

2014-11-23 20:23

Did you watch the WRTT games? Shit is obvious as fuck if you don't notice by watching your teammates they hack like that then okay. And I bet they were laughing their asses off in voip with all those "whoops there was a wall" moments.

2014-11-23 20:25

umm.. I have played against WRTT and BZSX whom both were known hacker teams at that time. we even got eliminated from thor open qualifier cause of them. next game against a known team and they get disqualified. In our case the admins just said the tournament has to go on and no demos required. special treatment aye

2014-11-23 20:46

If JW cheats schneider may not know about it. Just saying

Nice statement. Good luck in future Maniac.

Very eloquent. Very sad.

cool

bcuz maniac

u missed this. Now, about VALVE : In my point of view, Yes, they did a mistake reacting the way they did. I mean that they should have communicated with us way more than they actually did. That’s the first main problem. Ofcourse blaming them is easy and I totally understand that they tried to handle this situation in the most effective way. As my team had a „confirmed cheater“ I can’t really complain about anything, consequences are logical. But there comes a second yet very frightening problem… Their quick (over)reaction, banning EPSILON and Titan from DH :W led to a complicated situation ; What if other teams have players that used/use this program ? I have to tell you, I could reach contact with someone in touch with this « supex0 » guy and he confirmed me that many other players bought this program. So what now ? Ofcourse these are all suppositions but I sincelery don’t think that only 3 players (smn, kqly and sf) bought this program. I have 3 hypothesis ; 1) The 3 players really were the only users, they got banned, and the CSGO Scene is pure now (I hardly believe it but it might be). 2) Other players used it and will be banned soon, which will cause a major blow to DreamHack Winter. 3) Valve know other players used it, but will delay the consequences in order to protect Dreamhack, and that would be a terrific situation, as you all understand why… Titan (as an organisation) actually lost hundreds of thousands dollars in this situation, and if there were to be other teams with cheaters that would be banned after DH :W due to that very program… I can’t even think about it, the consequences would simply be impossible to imagine…

kukli pls

sad...

great statement

maniac <3

best

tsktsktsk..

Its hard to sink in and also very sad :(

who can?

Wise words from Maniac.

Stay strong Maniac! When playing with french people you have to go through shit time to time.

Stop with those racist comments. Come in France and see by yourself, then you can judge. Before, it is just pure stupidity.

2014-11-23 19:15

Pay me a trip and I will :)

France is not a race therefore he can't be racist.

2014-11-24 02:48

Good statement.

You should've included the part about valve to be honest. Anyway I feel sorry for him and hope they will find a 5th as soon as possible!

nice guy maniac its a shame this had to happen to him.

2014-11-24 02:28

Respect to him and the best of luck for the future. Hopefully this will scare the pros that do cheat enough that they will stop, although I doubt it :/

fuck great statment maniac, keep it up boy

Good statement. At least my respect for Maniac grew

lol

"I have NEVER BEEN SO MOTIVATED" Good news and a very professional response - good luck in future tournaments.

good statement!

2014-11-23 18:31

I love u Maniac <3 Keep it up brooow Good luck in the future

2014-11-23 18:32

wow, thanks for the honesty for once and a genuine statement. KQLBYE, learn something. You shitty fuck. Good luck maniac

Good luck in da future.

sad.

2014-11-23 18:36

that would be really unfair if Valve will let some top teams to attend at DH Winter if there are some cheaters inside and ban Epsilon and Titan in the meantime, they won't ban anyone from now on imo,they don't have the proof , cheating or not I don't care anymore , after all its not me who needs to take precautions neither I am the one who's playing there , gl after all i think that everyone will play fair and square at this major because of all this cheating drama

2014-11-23 18:39

gl ex6 and maniac!!!! keep ya head up! fuck cheaters!

he waited that long to react because he wanted to see if they will ban him too or not.

2014-11-23 18:51

Read it again...

sad

Hit the bottom to come back stronger! Your team didnt need double awp anyway!

2014-11-23 18:53

It actually takes a lot of do what Maniac did, and wait a few days before responding, good job though.

2014-11-23 19:27

Does that comment make sense? I didn't understand any of it rofl

2014-11-23 21:55

I just meant, the natural thing to do is to respond right away, which will usually be an emotional response, and less thought through. What maniac did made a lot more sense.

2014-11-23 22:24

Got ya, and yes I agree.

2014-11-23 22:25

This separates the players from the leaders i think, even though his words read soft it has one clear statement. He wants to get titan back and show the world that difficult situations should only be overcome by growing stronger

2014-11-24 13:27

u wont get beter with ioRek thats for sure

2014-11-23 19:34

Pretty pathetic to not be able to have an argument without swearing and trying to "win" over people. Learn this.

"I have to tell you, I could reach contact with someone in touch with this « supex0 » guy and he confirmed me that many other players bought this program. So what now ? Ofcourse these are all suppositions but I sincelery don’t think that only 3 players (smn, kqly and sf) bought this program."

I won't do it too

2014-11-23 19:44

Good response, best of luck to you and your team!

2014-11-23 19:49

Nothing but respect for Maniac, stay strong dude.
