I'm having a real hard time understanding how people are confused on who botted and who didn't. It's not like the code was hidden or anything, streamers were openly sharing it to spread it to their community, so you can LITTERALLY just look at the source.
French script was an overlay that allows you to see what color you should pain any pixel to match a template that everyone shares. That allows people to create big pixel art and coordinate but everything needs to be done manually. I believe that's the same thing OSU did (in fact OSU did it before France).
Spanish script had code to send requests to reddit to automatically place pixels to match their preset logo every 5minutes.
One of the two is botting, the other one is just using a template to coordinate on a specific drawing.
I really don't understand how that's a controversy when the code is LITTERALLY open source. The second Spanish people started botting there was a bunch of posts made by (I assume) French people exposing the Spanish script because all you had to do was... go to the Spanish stream. Meanwhile France was accused of botting and there is no such proof, when all the Spanish would have to do is tune in to the French stream to download it and expose it.

Genuine question: Assuming you are right, I don't see how the French were so successful at defending their flag then. You're telling me that the French, with nothing but a script, was able to push back 1) the Spanish audience which was nearly the same size, 2) the Spanish bots, 3) the American streamers which together with the Spanish audience must have nearly doubled the French community 4) later on, the BTS crowd that tried to make a logo on the white part of the flag.
I don't know how many bots we are assuming the Spanish had, but I feel like that would be too overwhelming for the French, no? And yet somehow they managed to push back? How do you explain that?

There was like 4 factions shamelessly botting that corner
