Nope, not cheating... Don't play Freestyle if you don't like it...

Although, 1v1 freestyle is stupid anyway

It's not currently against the rules to use this tactic. We are in the process of deciding what to do about this since it does catch so many people off-guard, giving an unfair advantage. We would value your input and any suggestions you may have on how to fix it here:

Thanks for posting this. I've added Levi the Great to my blocked list.

He can go play Freestyle with himself I say.

so freestyle is only for those who can afford to be at their PC at set time. I would think freestyle was the opposite of this and was created for a quick game.

Its good to see that so many share my views on freestyle and I hope that all the loopholes are soon closed, there is simply too much potential for abuse and many players get very angry about it.

It's freestyle... don't like it, don't play it.

Tactics are tactics and all's fair in war. Give it some thought
and turn it around on him.
