"This lack of visibility and the fact that those types of detections were not yet managed with any immediate and automated 'kick&ban' strategy, created a delay for the two players to be banned (alongside 80 other players involved in other competitions across the FaceIt platform)." "Unfortunately, due to a technical issue introduced by last week's release, information on a few types of cheat detections was not temporarily accessible within our infrastructure by our Anti-Cheat operation team," said tournament organisers FaceIt. Woldes and Jezayyy, an unidentified CS:GO duo, took first place in the tournament over the weekend but had their title stripped soon after.Īnti-cheat measures failed to identify any problems, but audiences noticed unusual crosshair movements during a showmatch against CS:GO pro duo Elias "Jamppi" Olkkonen and Aleksi "allu" Jalli, and a video exposing the cheaters has since racked up over 170,000 views. Two Counter-Strike players have been banned from competing in FaceIt tournaments after cheating their way to victory in the Red Bull Flick Finland National Final.
