Toward the end of the Abyssal Heaven season, we noticed a remarkably high number of suspicious events flagged by Omnidex. Upon further investigation we discovered a number of store accounts that were hosting repeat suspicious events in an attempt to earn undue Event Points (EP) and Veterency Points (VP) for participating players. We are deeply disappointed by this discovery and are taking some actions to maintain the competitive integrity of the leaderboards for all players who earned their ranks legally.
All events that were highly suspicious will be invalidated, and the end of season rankings for Abyssal Heaven will be updated accordingly. Players who only participated in these events during Revelfest will be removed from the drawing to win a foil promo.
Additionally, stores that were found hosting many of these events have been suspended, pending an appeal. We will be introducing a new probation system to place stores that successfully appeal this suspension, as well as stores in the future that are found to be violating the Omnidex Terms of Service.
- Unable to host premier event types.
- Unable to run GA Academy.
- Unable to receive Revelfest promotional items.
- Exempt from the Revelfest 2x VP modifier.
- Limited to 1 Event Kit per month.
- Required to upload photos of their ranked events.
Probation will be lifted at the end of the season, after passing a review by the organized play team.
The Abyssal Heaven leaderboard has now been updated to reflect all the invalid events. These will be the final standings used to determine rank rewards and Revelfest prizes.
Event Invalidation
We have created a new process that allows us to invalidate a completed Omnidex event. Invalidating an event removes all gains in EP and VP to each player from said event. It also removes all wins and losses from those players’ lifetime records. Additionally, any judges in an invalidated event will lose all Judge XP gained from it. Player ELO will not be affected by this process.All events that were highly suspicious will be invalidated, and the end of season rankings for Abyssal Heaven will be updated accordingly. Players who only participated in these events during Revelfest will be removed from the drawing to win a foil promo.
