Overview
- NetEase activated an across-the-board detection system that pairs big-data analysis with manual review to identify malicious match-throwing.
- A Victim Compensation Protocol now automatically restores ranked points for matches confirmed as sabotaged, with notifications sent via in-game mail.
- Confirmed offenders face strict penalties up to permanent bans, and rules around negative gameplay such as AFK behavior have been tightened after verification.
- Intlist, the third-party site tied to paid throwing, removed its bounty and payment features and says it will relaunch as a free documentation platform.
- Coverage notes the bounty model appeared in other competitive titles as NetEase urges ongoing player reports and watches for potential copycats.
