Hey, You know who you are — and what you did.

This contest being this chaotic? That’s on you.

I know what you want. You want ratings. You want to be proud of that "rating" you "earned". But you didn’t earn it yourself.

You submitted solutions you didn’t come up with. Maybe you copied code from Telegram. Maybe it was a voice call with your “team.” Maybe you typed someone else’s code line by line, or maybe you even paid for it.

By doing so, you didn’t just steal rating — you ruined a learning experience, our learning experience. For yourself, and for everyone who tried to solve the problems honestly and with real effort.

Yes, Round 1033 had issues. Even I didn’t enjoy it. But that’s not an excuse to cheat. When you cheat, “competitive programming” is no longer competitive. Skipping the process doesn’t make you smarter or better — it just makes you a faker. (No, not that Faker.)

This isn’t a cancellation post. Just my honest thoughts.

Please, change. Cheating is not a solution. You gain nothing from it — and worse, you ruin the efforts of those who actually worked hard.

I hope this blog makes at least one of you stop and think. That would already a win.
