CSGO pros s1mple, dennis and more slam ESEA over alleged hackers StarLadder \/ ESEAA wave of backlash by CSGO pro players Oleksandr \u2018s1mple\u2019 Kostyliev, Dennis \u2018dennis\u2019 Edman, and more is targeting competitive matchmaking platform ESEA for not banning alleged hackers. ESEA has long been a popular fixture among the pro community to avoid the various hackers in regular CSGO matchmaking by loading up into their secure servers. One of the company\u2019s slogans is \u201cHate Cheaters? CSGO Where the Pros Play.\u201d But that doesn\u2019t seem to completely be the case for some prominent members of the community, as recordings of a player allegedly in the process of buying CSGO hacks is so far going unaddressed by ESEA. In a September 10 tweet, dennis put the spotlight on pro player Kristian \u2018akEz\u2019 Kornbakk\u2019s grievance against Alex \u2018holmyz\u2019 who could allegedly be heard buying cheats for the game. \u201cActual recording of our finalist opponents buying cheats,\u201d akEz said. \u201cThis is a recording of holmyz buying cheats from a provider.\u201d The player linked to a deeper analysis at holmyz\u2019s reported ties to hacking for \u201ccompetent anti-cheating aficionados\u201d to take a look at the case. The thread is two months old, at the time of writing. Dennis brought back the accusations while calling ESEA\u2019s attention to it since his team GamerLegion were on a collision course against some of them: \u201cWe play some of these guys today, perhaps you should look into this? Shouldn\u2019t be allowed to play in the first place.\u201d S1mple even hit out at the anti-cheat platform for their approach to banning hackers. \u201cIt\u2019s funny when platforms like ESEA can\u2019t ban cheaters immediately until they write about the players themselves,\u201d s1mple said. \u201cThey don\u2019t even think about ordinary players\/teams who want to show their potential, but they can\u2019t, because cheaters sometimes linger on platforms for months.\u201d Read more: LIVE: CSGO roster shuffle post-Berlin Major – CSGO has long been a target for recurrent hackers of all forms, even before the Global Offensive iteration of the game was released. ESEA and FACEIT have been trusted platforms for competitive CSGO matches as Valve continue their waves of VAC bans. In December 2018, Valve reported over 500,000 VAC bans on Steam accounts, most of them associated with CSGO. It will be interesting to see how ESEA responds with the renewed backlash revolving around hackers using their platforms as more pro players voice their concerns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
