Nisay found out just this past 2nd February that his account was de-ranked from Radiant back to Immortal, with cheating allegations surfacing, it seemed this was just an initial measure while the developers figured out if they needed to issue a harsher punishment.
From Nisay's perspective, however, it seems the decision to only temporarily ban him from all competition is a direct response to "community pressure," claiming in a Twitlonger that if they had found concrete evidence, the ban would have been permanent.

Furthermore, de-ranking an account before banning it is not a common procedure, regardless of how high up in the ladder one is.
As a result of this investigation, Besiktas Esports has decided to cut ties with Nisay effective immediately, with more information regarding the team's future in the Valorant scene soon to be revealed.
