Just remembering that Pure is the same guy that was booted from Virtus.pro for draw a large Z, signaling support to the Russian invasion, in the minimap during the Stockholm major.

Totally agree, his previous support for the Russian invasion doesn't make him more guilty of cheating.

However just for that he totally deserves to get all the hate he's getting. I don't understand how this player is still allowed to compete. Should have gotten a lifetime ban from all event organizers imo.

I think that the decision to not give a lifetime ban was correct because it would set a double standard. What about mind_control who explicitly said that Hitler should have killed the Russian population? I realise this example was not in an official match but in my opinion is 10x worse. Also, Pure's incident I believe can be placed into the category of 'edgy meme' (and one being assumedly a whole lot more normalised from the country he is from and media he consumes). Anyway the bottom line is that I think a lifetime ban should not be received for stupidity.
