Back in September 2021, Nicolai “HUNDEN” Petersen was one of the 37 CS:GO coaches banned<\/a> for using the infamous spectator bug. His initial suspension was reduced by four months after a review by the Esports Integrity Commission (ESIC). In early July, ESIC received a notification that HUNDEN had “allegedly engaged in behaviour that could be classified as a breach of ESIC’s Integrity Program.” <\/p>\n

To make it clear, this alleged behaviour is basically HUNDEN sharing sensitive information with a competing organization ahead of IEM Cologne, without the Heroic team knowing about it, while still under the Heroic banner.<\/p>\n

This behaviour, according to ESIC<\/a>, “threatened harm to the reputation and competitive integrity of esports” which is why HUNDEN has received a two-year ban.<\/p>\n

The report<\/a> on the sanction outcome follows a two-month investigation by ESIC and was made public on 27th August 2021. <\/p>\n

ESIC mentions a public statement made by HUNDEN on 28th July, in which the ex-Heroic CS:GO coach states: “The material I have shared is anti-strat material of opponents…”<\/p>\n

This was seen as a public admission by ESIC, and in conjunction with other evidence collected via the course of their investigation, led to “sufficient grounds for a prosecution under ESIC’s Code of Conduct which applied to this situation by virtue of it occurring during the period of and related to the ESIC member event, IEM Cologne, and in which Mr Petersen’s employer team, Heroic, was competing.”<\/p>\n
