LOS ANGELES, 20 February 2015. Today, we are sad to announce that Tempo Storm
is parting ways with Hyerim “MagicAmy” Lee. After reading the allegations pr
esented against her on the r/Hearthstone subreddit, we launched a full blown i
nvestigation, gathering a large amount of evidence from dozens of sources incl
uding former employers, ex-teammates, fellow players, and personal friends. Hy
erim was very open to answering all of our questions and has been cooperative
during the investigation.
今天,我们很遗憾地宣布Magicamy(下称amy)要与Tempo Storm(下称TS)各走各路了.经过细
阅在reddit登出对于amy的指控,我们开始了一连串的调查,蒐集了大量从以往雇主,队友,
玩家以及朋友所得的证据.Amy非常大方地回答了我们所有问题以及于调查过程中表现合作
,
We began this investigation with the intention of maintaining everyone’s pers
onal privacy, and we decided to end it on the same note. The report examined a
nd addressed each side of the issue, but the evidence crossed the line between
what we were trying to discover and the basic privacy of the involved parties
. We will cover the information relevant to the investigation in as complete a
manner as possible. The significant findings can be summarized by the followi
ng:
我们决定无论展开抑或结束本次调查时都保持保护各位个人隐私的原则.我们审查及解决
了每一方的问题,但有部分证据跨越了我们要同时调查及保护各方隐私的底线.我们会尽可
能地以适当的方式将所有有关调查的资料都包含于调查当中.而以下是对于重大发现的一
些总结:
We believe that MagicAmy is one person and that Hyerim Lee is indeed who she c
laims to be. This is based on multiple eyewitness and firsthand testimonies cl
aiming that they interacted with her individually without William Blaney, her
ex-boyfriend seen in cached pictures sharing the same username. We went throug
h great lengths to cross reference travel records, personal information, and t
estimonies of accounts from her recent past. The personal information she has
given us, combined with her employment records with Lunarch Studios, relations
hips with players, and the fact that she has met people face-to-face is enough
to confirm her identity.
我们相信amy是真有其人,亦即Hyerim Lee(非之前所提的加拿大人William).这项结论是由
多位目击者的证词所得出的,他们都曾与amy私下有交流,而过程中没有涉及William Balne
y即Amy那位在记录中共用帐号名称的前男友.我们亦调查了大量有关的出游记录,个人资料
,以及amy近期的证词.那些amy的个人资料,再与她在 Lunarch Studios的受雇记录,以及她
与玩家的各种关系还有其他人曾与她亲身接触的经历吻合,足以证实她的身份.
Through the course of our examination we discovered a series of other allegati
ons concerning the potential scamming of employers and players, which seem to
be the result of a misunderstanding between differing parties. While this is i
ndeed an issue that should be addressed, it needs to be ironed out in private
between the disputing parties. Regardless, seeing as how these people have had
some of the most intimate interactions with Hyerim over the past year, we dov
e extensively into these topics as one of the primary ways to fact check Hyeri
m’s whereabouts and alibis.
在调查过程中,我们发现了很多对amy有可能对雇主及玩家作出诈骗的指控,相信是因各方
的误解所导致的.而这的确是一项有待解决的问题,这需要争执的各方私下磨合化解.无论
如何,有见于这些人在过去一年与amy作出一些亲密举动,我们深入地探讨了这些事项作为
初步调查amy证词可靠性的依归.
After we confirmed her identity and, to our knowledge, was not committing frau
d, we found this to be a personal matter rather than an issue questioning her
legitimacy as a person and teammate. To use an everyday example, we wouldn’t
find it newsworthy when a roommate has not paid back a rental bill in a timely
fashion. It’s their own personal life, separate from their business life. Ho
wever, it is interesting to note that even a testimony accusing Hyerim believe
s she is one person, not William Blaney.
在我们确认了amy的真正身份,以及她并未曾经诈骗后,我们认为这由证明她代表TS的可信
性变为了单纯的个人问题.以日常生活为例,我们不会觉得你的室友没有付房租是一件多大
的新闻.这只是他们的个人生活,与他们的职业生涯无关.只是值得注意的是,就连对amy作
出指控的证词也相信amy是Hyerim并非William.
Hyerim’s performance and accomplishments as a player have been called into qu
estion due to the possibility of account boosting and win trading. Tarei was i
dentified as a possible accomplice under suspicious circumstantial evidence, s
uch as when she posted a picture showing an account named LoveMagicAmy as rank
#1, indirectly implying it was her achievement. Later it was confirmed by Tar
ei that he used his own account and then renamed it to LoveMagicAmy. This brou
ght up the question whether she was taking credit for other’s ranks, or if sh
e was getting assistance to reach high legend. We looked into this issue as fa
r as we could, but were not able to produce proof that someone else was respon
sible for any of her high legend rank finishes. The only people who truly know
the answer are Blizzard and the involved individuals.
而对Amy的表现及各项成就,有人指出那有可能是因为有人在背后代打及互刷胜场. Tarei
被一些值得怀疑的间接证据指出他可能参与其中.例如Amy曾与Twitter中登出名为LoveMag
icAmy(下称LMA)的传说第一帐号,间接暗示了LMA的第一成就是属于自己的.而之后我们与T
arei确认了他曾使用自己的帐号并将id改为LMA.这为amy带来了她是否以他人的成就归功
于自己,或是得到他人帮助才有高排位的疑问.我们已尽力调查了这项问题,但我们无法提
出任何有关amy高排位问题的证明.只有BZ及有关人士们才会真正知道了.
On a side note, win trading is an unlikely scenario considering how aggressive
ly Blizzard banned notable win-traders, including Specialist, the spark of the
entire controversy. They even accidentally falsely accused players. It feels
safe to assume Blizzard would have caught such an action between Tarei/Hyerim
or anyone else if this were the case.
作为加插的说明,考虑到BZ对明显互刷胜场所作的严格封锁,互刷胜场是非常罕见的,就算
是互刷胜场的专家,只要一小点火花就会被察觉.BZ甚至会不小心把无关互刷胜场的玩家也
一并封锁.这令人觉得可以大胆假设若Amy与Tarei真的有代打或互刷的话,一定已经被BZ抓
到了.
This finding also relates to the alleged botting allegations, because we could
not figure out exactly how her account remained untouched throughout the ban
waves despite its high profile and activity. Again, whether she is clear of th
ese allegations or not is an issue that we cannot determine, It would require
action to be taken on Blizzard’s end to determine the matter.
我们发现amy亦与使用bot的指控有关,因为我们无法想出为什么amy的帐号在封锁潮中不被
BZ所封锁尽管她的行为那么高调.而再一次,无论她在这些指控中是否清白,我们也无法决
定.这最终需要取决于BZ以作决定.
As a final point, we asked ourselves throughout the entire investigation “If
she/he is a fraud, what is the end game?” because eventually the MagicAmy per
sona would have had to show up at an offline event as Hearthstone/Tempo Storm
continued to grow. It made no logical sense to move from her homegrown team, w
hich collectively placed top 8 at BlizzCon, to work extremely hard with our or
ganization to get results, then “dash” when she’s getting paid for the good
work she’s done. That would be the worst con of all time.
临近尾声,我们在调查间也问了自己"如果amy真的是个骗子,那该怎么收场?"因为最后amy
也必须代表成长中的TS在线下赛展现真身.如果她身为Top8突然离开,将会为我们TS带来很
多成就上的麻烦,在得到她应得的酬劳后便消失,不合任何逻辑.这将会是最差的情况了.
Upon learning the entire story, Tempo Storm offered to fully support MagicAmy
in an attempt to clear her name by addressing the public immediately by having
her compete in an offline tournament. Hyerim, however, has decided to take a
leave of absence from Hearthstone and answer these issues on her own.
在了解整个故事后,TS决定全力支持amy完成线下赛以对公众还自己清白.但最后amy决定了
与炉石之间暂告一段落,选择自己回答那些问题.
During the six week period which Hyerim was signed with us, we greatly appreci
ated her effort and camaraderie with the team. We have nothing but glowing rev
iews of all the work she put in from watching her cheer along with fans in cha
t to publishing her renown Meta Snapshots. She has been an ideal team member w
ith Tempo Storm during her short stay and we wish her the best of luck in the
future.
在过去与amy合作的六周,我们极度感激她与队友之间所作的贡献及感情.我们只能继续将
她与其他观众一起作出的打气制成属于她的Meta Snapshots(TS中类似meta快报的东西)她
在TS的短暂逗留时是一位理想的队友,祝她好运.
“I want to thank Tempo Storm, Reynad, and Frodan for giving me the opportunit
y to join the team and allowing me to explain myself among the chaos. I am hap
py that I was given a chance to prove myself to the people that I cared for. T
empo Storm has been supportive of me since the beginning and I am glad we can
end on good terms.”
