We aren't gonna tell all the story, he ain't deserves it. I'm talking about MaTc, aka cTaM, to roll like method. What you need to know about the character is that he's a mix of wannabism and extremely rare mythomania skills. We can sum up his life just with Quakenet and SK. His first strike was to make all the CS community believe that it's actually a girl, named Myriam Zayani. He obviously got his SK gallery plently full of sweet pics (http://www.sk-gaming.com/member/cTaM/), stinking the fake miles around. His description is even worse, and i don't even talk about his " Web site: www.TheCPL.com " or the beautiful " Mousepad: CPL AirPad (Private Edition) ", the description part is definitly cult.
We will proceed team by team, proofs on hands. The logs below are all authentical, don't have enough time to waste to create it.
well if we don't use proofs, it would be unfair for our dear friend :(
teamvoid - spx calc zitic Waidtlow ArcadioN
We asked calc by private msg on SK et thats what he replied :

The guy gave a server to the sweet danes, just to get a beautiful little flag in the chan of a temporary team.

PROMOTIONAL OFFER : buy a server to a top team, and become their manager !
As you can see, the favourite preys of cTaM are the transitional mixclans, which was the situation of AlltheRage > TheClan > h2k, KK & mates just waiting for a powerhouse proposition.
At last and not least:
M0NZ4 ( Manager ) - natu bloodR daichi odiouz Tico
CTaM began to get really known with this team, introducing himself as the manager, throught myssE. We managed to get a catch on two of the players that formed that WCG mixclan.
(Shinoda^Aw) Tico ?
(Tico) no
(Shinoda^Aw) xD
(Shinoda^Aw) i just would know, what ctam did for monza ?
(Tico) nothing
(Shinoda^Aw) hu?
(Tico) he did nothing
(Shinoda^Aw) he has a flag and thats all
(Shinoda^Aw) he told to everybody that he was manager with mysse, he wasnt to WCG ?
(Tico) he was 'manager' but he didnt do nothing
(Tico) also ctam claims to be she
(Tico) so i dont know what the heck is up with that but he might be just a con
(Shinoda^Aw) yes now we know hes a tunisian boy who put pics of his girlfriend
(Shinoda^Aw) on SK
(Tico) ok so he's a liar then
(Tico) haven been involved with him really
(Tico) just know he'
(Tico) s shady
(Shinoda^Aw) aha :)
(Tico) all i know is he wanted to make a team and gave all these promises to people at monza, not to me
(Tico) then i got little involved and said to him that they wont do anything untill u proof your claims to be true
(Tico) and then he started saying how rude i was for asking proofs about his sponsors that he claimed to have
(Tico) so i pretty much decided then he is full of shit
(Shinoda^Aw) :)
Our dear cTaM had overused his mythomania skills on the poor finish boys, to fade away weeks later, without holding his promises. Here's daichi's opinion :

(Shinoda^Aw) daichi ?
(daichi) Shinoda^Aw
(Shinoda^Aw) i just would know, what ctam did for monza ?
(daichi) anything
(daichi) just speaking and speaking..
(Shinoda^Aw) he wasnt at cpl ?
(daichi) i dont know but, i we had good guess :)
(daichi) why
(Shinoda^Aw) because we wanna write a blog somewhere to reveal this whole joke xD
(daichi) ok, count me in
(daichi) :D
(Shinoda^Aw) sorry but itll be in french on esportsfrance.com :/
(daichi) yeah
(Shinoda^Aw) was he at WCG.fi ?
(daichi) nope
(Shinoda^Aw) ok
(Shinoda^Aw) he said that he was at cpl nordic and cpl dallas, i want proofs he wasnt xD
(daichi) yep he said to us "im going to cpl nordic bye" and coming irc couple hours later
(Shinoda^Aw) with the same vhost ?
(Shinoda^Aw) xD
(daichi) ye
(daichi) and we ask couple days after cpl nordic "show us some pictures or something"
(daichi) guess couple times, get we pics or not? :D
(Shinoda^Aw) ahaha
(Shinoda^Aw) we ask all his teams
(Shinoda^Aw) he claim to have worked for on his SK page
(daichi) and nobody ever seen him?
(daichi) :P
(Shinoda^Aw) she had op cause she provided a server, that's all
(Shinoda^Aw) no idea if its a her
(Shinoda^Aw) calc
(Shinoda^Aw) from teamvoid
(Shinoda^Aw) theclan
(Shinoda^Aw) noody knows him from theclan/H2k
(Shinoda^Aw) we asked CPL admins
(daichi) yeah
(Shinoda^Aw) none of them has ever met him in real life
(daichi) :P
(Shinoda^Aw) he also said he was at cpl dallas ahahaha
(Shinoda^Aw) his chan, #cpl.live, was glineed by an ircop
(daichi) yep i know :D
(Shinoda^Aw) look at his SK
(Shinoda^Aw) CPL Final 2006 ( Coverage )

(Shinoda^Aw) AHAHAHAHAHA
(Shinoda^Aw) he just created fake coverage chans for cpl and eswc
(Shinoda^Aw) unofficials
(daichi) but.. couple months back he promise our team 10,000euros and mainsponsor intel.fr and othershit..
(daichi) :P
(daichi) we just laughiiiinh
Last thing, cTaM has never managed snakkes (oops, noLA, draziw, OmeN & prb) for the simple reason that it was a mixclan for the HW-LAN, so no need for a
managed there. I talked to prb :
(Shinoda^Aw) prb ?
(MYM|prb) sup
(Shinoda^Aw) do you known cTaM ?
(MYM|prb) not really
(Shinoda^Aw) did he really managed snakkes, like he says in his SK page ? hes a liar
(MYM|prb) haha
(MYM|prb) we were a mixteam for a lan
(Shinoda^Aw) yep
(Shinoda^Aw) hw lan
(Shinoda^Aw) i know
(Shinoda^Aw) so why does he say that ? he provided you a server to have op like he did for teamvoid ?
(MYM|prb) dunno
Le's take a look at his pseudo organisations. Except eSm and uyR, the others responsabilities are just bullshit. cTaM is making used his fake coverage chans to claim he was a member of the official staff. About Intel, i guess no need to search for any proof... Regarding the ESWC and CPL responsabilities stuff, we can sum it up to 2 chans : #ESWC.Coverage & #CPL.Live. The first was a chan gathering some of the most known community esport websites to non-officialy cover the event, we (esportsfrance) were part of it, as well as SK, ESNATION, and many others. Thanks to his unbelievable flag-seeking skills, he was part of it, and dared to put on the tag [ESWC].
Let's see the CPL thing: it's a bit more recent, and maybe you was performing it. The chan gathered a lot of people during the two CPL (Nordic and Dallas) and has been glined a few days later by an ircop working for the #cpl. We have also noticed that cTaM claimed he flew to the USA and was on the two CPL, to welcome the players and ensure the good communication between the community members. The fact that he claimed it everywhere pushes us to verify. Nobody ever met him at the two events, neither the admins nor the press. To state such a proofless thing on SK is a symptom of a deep mythomania crisis.

(eaze) If he did, he never talked to anyone, I've asked several of the CPL admins and none of them has ever met him/her in real life
(KiLi_) and i just wanted to know if he really used to "work" for the CPL :)
(eaze) No, he never worked for CPL, he did do some coverage for them for an event though

Let's get a closer look on his irc life. This thread is pretty summing it up : http://www.sk-gaming.com/forum/2/39468/
The question is, WHO REALLY IS cTaM ? It's the cousin of zizou, a tunisian playing in the Tagless clan, which attended ESWC 2006. He got introduced to the team by zizou, and told them he contacted CheckSix for a possible merge. With zizou living in Dubai -actually, i don't think he could betray his cousin anyway-, we contacted another Tagless member which has confirmed all the facts.
cTaM real name is Hédi Zayani, and the sweet lady appearing in his SK gallery seems to be his girlfriend (according to what zizou told to his teammate). He got an insane amount of irc clones, including Fu^_^ (his imaginary best friend) and bisou (the former aAa player) on his chan #praccnation. He also uses nicks like HeatoN/walle and spams Quakenet with his advertising /amsg for his lame tournament : BestAimers.
However, he really was the goodgame's match arranger for a time. A comment from Baldours, a GG player :
(GG56|Baldours) you're wasting your time for somebody didn't deserve it ^^
(Shinoda_8{) totally
Here we are, my friends. Time to wrap up the investigation, we finally found the criminal :D And yes, i know this thread is useless, and it is exactly why we made it.
Special Thanks : KiLi- for the concept and translation, aspen for the help, layer from NESC.nu, fisker for the hot night we had together, Angel Munoz for the CPL Private L33T Edition Razer and Peter Hedlund, the former NiP CEO, for all the money we earned together !
