I'm interested in knowing some other thoughts of the ban. 1 year for match throwing. I've seen some pros saying that they shouldn't have had to do that, so it's the format's fault.

What do you think?

The format is harsh but fair. They lost the previous two finals iirc. They wanted to game the system and take a lower seeds place and knock out limitless early to get the major spot. The format is very seeding dependent and every stage affects the seeding so is therefore important. Like swiss is more important than just getting top 8. I think the format needs some work to remove this tempting possibility but the ban is justified. If they had succeeded and not been so obvious it would still be worth a discussion on how the system is wonky for rewarding inconsistency.
