Monday has arrived, and as previously announced, the ESIC (Esports Integrity Commission) issues bans for 37 professional CS:GO coaches. Here is their full statement:

ESIC issues bans for 37 coaches – Who?

Apart from the ones mentioned initially (MechanoGun, Hunden, Dead), the ESIC have added an additional 34 coaches to their ban list. They have all received lengthy bans, however, some are much shorter than others. Here below is a full list of all coaches that the ESIC banned:

How did the ESIC gather this data?

The ESIC has gone through a long list of professional CS:GO official demo matches and investigated each round to see if there was any cheating involved.

Community backlash

When the ESIC released their statement, the community was shocked at the results. Many did not expect that some highly esteemed coaches would actually go so low as to cheat in an official match. When it comes to competitive integrity in esports, cheating must be penalized, and for that, the ESIC will certainly be respected for their efforts. 

Some coaches however have declined the cheating accusations against them, and some have also had their very own team and staff defending their standpoint. This goes to show how far a team will go to defend any of their staff from any sort of harm. Some of the coaches that have denied their accusations were LMBT, RobbaN, as well as Starix, which has taken to twitter to show his confusion regarding his lengthy ban.

This is only the beginning of coaches receiving bans for abusing an in-game bug in official matches. And more will certainly surface in the very near future. Until then, make sure you keep yourself updated with www.esportsguide.com for all your latest esports news!
