FaZe\u2019s YNk slams \u201cjoke\u201d CSGO teams keeping banned coaches as analysts StarLadder \/ DreamHackFaZe Clan\u2019s Janko \u2018YNk\u2019 has criticized \u201cjoke\u201d CS:GO teams who have kept banned coaches on as analysts following the ESIC investigation into bug abuse. He singled out teams like Heroic, ENCE, and Hard Legion in his October 1 thread. FaZe Clan\u2019s coach Janko \u2018YNk\u2019 Paunovic wasn\u2019t one of the 37 coaches caught up in the CS:GO cheating scandal. However, many of his contemporaries were. It wasn\u2019t just smaller teams who were found to be breaking the rules. Heroic\u2019s Nicolai \u2018HUNDEN\u2019 Petersen, ENCE\u2019s Slaava \u2018Twista\u2019 R\u00e4s\u00e4nen, and more were banned for anywhere from four months to 36 months. However, many teams have found a loophole around the suspensions. While the coaches can\u2019t be in the servers or on stage with players any longer, they can still help them out as analysts. In doing so, the majority of teams have kept their old banned coaches on. YNk has condemned this practice though, saying that organizations need to make sure their coaches \u201cface the consequences\u201d for their actions. \u201cSome of these orgs really are a joke. Their coaches [were] found guilty of using the bug, multiple times and with clear intent of gaining a competitive advantage, and you simply move them to an \u201canalyst\u201d position,\u201d he said on Twitter on October 1. \u201cI\u2019m all for giving people second chances but you also need to face the consequences for what you\u2019ve done. What kind of an example are we setting here? Do the time and then you can come back and get another opportunity to redeem yourself and prove you\u2019re better than that.\u201d He singled out HUNDEN and Twista staying on with Heroic and ENCE respectively. While he acknowledged they were \u201chuge factors to the success of their teams,\u201d he compared their punishment to that of steel\u2019s following the iBuyPower matchfixing scandal, where the NA veteran wasn\u2019t even allowed to coach. 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? \u2014 Janko Paunovic (@YNk) October 1, 2020 \u201cI\u2019ve got nothing against them personally, I\u2019ve talked to Twista multiple times at LANs and I think he\u2019s a great guy but they\u2019ve smeared the whole scene and especially our profession, how are these orgs still allowing them to be a part of the team,\u201d he added. YNk has also claimed that many players have gotten off without punishment. He claims that for teams that abused the bug over dozens of rounds, \u201cthere is no chance the players weren\u2019t aware and they just played along.\u201d HUNDEN and Twista were suspended for eight months and 16 months respectively on September 28. The ESIC investigation is still ongoing, with a final report due for release in October.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
