Actually this is not my cellphone in the picture. I have diabetes and this is a device I use to monitor my blood sugar levels. I had put my cellphone in my bag on the floor. In Austin the admins confiscated your cellphone for all on-stage matches at least as far as I know. Hopefully the same is being done in Jönköping just in case. But for the ro16 no one asked me about it however. I hope and don't think anyone abuses this, but maybe for the big matches they should do what they did in Austin. I do agree with Snute's thoughts on the whole thing though.

Or maybe we are just being a little stupid here. If someone is willing to go that far to get an advantage they deserve to win. Uhm, not sure that this would actually worked. Cannot imagine a player that would ignore an anal vibrator and focused purely on the game. It's actually a perfect distraction. But hey, win or lose, the game would be awesome :D

In wcg the rules used to forbid cell phones and any electronic devices for this reason but we never really searched anybody. But it was there and if we had suspicion we could have used it.

What could be done is something in the line of what is done in chess. Players could play in places where phones don't go through. So no communication with outside. If they wanna tweet, I guess there computer have the internet anyway
And if it is too complicated for group stage in DH because of players number, they can at least have that in later stage of competition so that cheating player would go out first

Yeah, surrendering phones should be mandatory.

Not sure if it is you, but if it is, thanks for the clear up.

Someone's been reading too much hentai. You mean not enough? That's just the beginning... probably.
I wouldn't know.
Heard that from a friend.

TBH I'm not against it, even though SC2 players are very honorable generally etc, you can never be too sure. Of course there is always new techniques to cheat but this would be a preventative method similar to how airports do it. Yes, there's pretty much no chance people will make a bomb using liquids and water bottles - that doesn't mean it doesn't increase the sense of security and doesn't scare anyone off.

Imagine if there was some functionality in broadcasting that made like a lag between the matches and the stream... some form of... i don't know... delay...

Doesn't help for offline cheating as you can have someone on the event site ... However I don't think it's much of an issue anyways.
