It's official! People are now hosting scams and using password protected tournaments to advertise their scams.

Step 1: Host password protected tournament (500-1000 man)
Step 2: Advertise that you need to download XYZ third party software and register for a password to the tourney.
Step 3: Collect revenue from third party software, scam, hijacked devices.
Step 4: Collect refund from tournament, and lose nothing.

Supercell, two options to fix this:

1. Do away with tournament refunds - you've given bad people a method to scam your customers.
2. Remove tournament descriptions, or only allow 1-2 words.

Malicious actors are using them to tempt unwary people into downloading malicious software on their phones.
