Since then Esports Integrity Commission took interest in the scandal, starting their own investigation, of which the first fruits were shared this Monday. As it turned out, 37 coaches were found out<\/a> to be using the bug, and therefore were handed bans, appropriate to their violation of it.<\/p>\n The bans imposed by ESIC were respected by most of the companies responsible for organizing CS:GO events, such as ESL, DreamHack, and BLAST. Therefore, it meant that banned coaches are now unable to actively support their teams throughout most of the competitive play. In most cases, whether individuals purposely used the bug, they accepted punishment<\/a> given to them. <\/p>\n Many people in the scene logically assumed that because of that, the organization would sack banned coaches. As it turns out, the opposite has been the case. Many of them are pardoning their mentors, theoretically moving them onto analyst positions for the time being of a ban. It already happened in Heroic<\/a>, OG<\/a>, and Hard Legion<\/a>, just to name a few. <\/p>\n Naturally, such behaviour has its critics, and one of those, ex-caster turned coach, Janko “YNk” Paunović, took to Twitter to let the community knows his thoughts.<\/p>\n He says that organizations doing so are a joke since the players in most cases clearly had to know what the coach was doing. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Some of these orgs really are a joke, their coaches found guilty of using the bug, multiple times and with clear intent of gaining a competitive advantage and you simply move them to an “analyst” position? Seriously?<\/p>\n — Janko Paunovic (@YNk) October 1, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n There is still no proof whether the players were aware of the misuse, but logically, there its small chance players were not aware that their coach had obtained information they couldn’t have possibly posses through legal means.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Some of these orgs really are a joke, their coaches found guilty of using the bug, multiple times and with clear intent of gaining a competitive advantage and you simply move them to an “analyst” position? Seriously?<\/p>\n — Janko Paunovic (@YNk) October 1, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n I’m all for giving people second chances but you also need to face the consequences for what you’ve done. What kind of an example are we setting here?<\/p>\n Do the time and then you can come back and get another opportunity to redeem yourself and prove you’re better than that.<\/p>\n — Janko Paunovic (@YNk) October 1, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n And yes, I’m first and foremost talking about Heroic and ENCE, both Twista and HUNDEN were obviously huge factors to the success of their teams and are now “analysts” for the duration of the ban. When steel got banned for matchfixing he wasn’t allowed to even coach teams.<\/p>\n
