Yep, for any sort of eSport you can’t have outside help/information outside of designated times if the format allows it, but also this isn’t targeted at eSports.

Yeah but it's not allowed in esports because it provides an unfair advantage. It's still unethical and provides an unfair advantage outside of the esports community, there just isn't a judge watching all the players and enforcing it.
But cheating can happen (and be prosecuted) outside of eSports. The founders should be careful.
prosecuted, lmao
This only applies to Asia. Nobody gets sued for cheating in US/UK/Can. Cheat sellers being the exception.
This is a thread about people selling a program that might be considered cheating, so I'd say that this is the only case that is relevant.
Blizzard have sued cheat makers outside Asia before.
You could go to jail for a long time. Watch it, buddy
