Andre Yang - Lifetime Ban

[Monstru]

Exploiting the rules is not cheating.

Was there any written rule in this Lords Of Overclocking competition where benching and giving results to someone else is forbidden?

From what I see, that is not forbbiden. So what Andre and Hiwa did is ok?

Technically - no rule was broken, just like in the other case.
Ethically - this is a big deal, just like in the other case.

Yet the other case was ok, and these guys get crucified...Hmm...
