FURIA\u2019s guerri responds to cheating claims with CSGO coach exploit StarLadderFURIA coach Nicholas \u2018guerri\u2019 Nogueira is the latest person implicated in the CS:GO cheating scandal, with the Brazilian said to have abused a camera exploit during a ECS Season 7 match against Complexity in June 2019. He has now responded. FURIA, currently ranked sixth in the world, are now in hot water after their coach, guerri, was reportedly caught using a CS:GO camera exploit that gave coaches an unfair advantage. Former ESL Head Referee Michal Slowinski claimed guerri used the bug in an ECS Season 7 match against Complexity, and \u201cabused it [for the] whole map.\u201d Slowinski also stated guerri\u2019s client was bugged in an earlier match, and worked around it to get it fixed. I am going to make a lot of Brazilian fans hate me even more with this tweet, but\u2026 take a look yourself. ECS Season 7 Week 2 against Complexity (abused it whole map). He was also bugged in a match day earlier (vs. LG) and decided to reconnect to get it fixed. FACEIT informed. pic.twitter.com\/Ha35uROavI \u2014 Michal Slowinski (@michau9_) September 2, 2020 FACEIT have been informed of the incident, although they are yet to release a statement. Guerri is also yet to face any sanctions from tournament organizers. Guerri came out with a statement of his own, commending the work Slowinski has done to maintain the integrity of the scene. \u201cThe situation is real and very easy to explain what happened,\u201d he said, according to a translation. FURIA\u2019s CEO, Jaime Padua, also said the organization was looking into the accusations. \u201cI am properly investigating what was reported by [Slowinski] and already looking for possible explanations,\u201d he said, according to a translation. Acabei de ver o video postado pelo @michau9_ . Antes de mais nada parab\u00e9ns pelo trabalho, o esports precisa de pessoas assim. A situa\u00e7\u00e3o \u00e9 verdadeira e muito tranquila de explicar o que aconteceu.Vou postar o video completo, com audio e com as explica\u00e7\u00f5es ainda hoje! \u2014 guerri (@guerri) September 2, 2020 Guerri releases video and explanation Guerri posted a YouTube video on September 2, showing the instances of the alleged coaching exploit in action during matches he was involved in. He says that the first time he encountered the bug, he didn\u2019t understand what it was, and it resolved itself after a single round. When it occurred again in another match, he expected it to fix itself once again, but when it didn\u2019t he claims he alt-tabbed out of the game completely, and went to stand behind his team. He points to the fact that his cursor moves briefly, the game becomes choppy and the audio drops out. He admits that he should have simply disconnected, but wasn\u2019t aware of the full impact of the bug. I posted a detailed and crystal-clear video explaining everything about the bug (coach) that happened with me in the beginning of 2019. And also the team’s communication videos at the description. I’ll upload with English subtitles in the next days.https:\/\/t.co\/ucJDepNWBc \u2014 guerri (@guerri) September 3, 2020 It comes after three coaches \u2014 Ricardo \u2018dead\u2019 Sinigaglia of MIBR, Nicolai \u2018HUNDEN\u2019 Petersen of Heroic, and Aleksandr \u2018MechanoGun\u2019 Bogatyrev of Hard Legion \u2014 were banned by ESL for six, 12, and 24 months respectively for abusing the exploit. Another coach, Aset \u2018Solaar\u2019 Sembiyev of K23 (ranked #29), has also been suspended by his team, pending investigation. The 33-year-old Kazakhstani reportedly used the camera exploit against FATE Esports in Eden Area Malta Vibes Cup 8. Hopefully last one: here is a clip of Solaar abusing coaching bug during Eden Arena Malta Vibes Cup 8, in a match vs. FATE on train. He did for all 21 rounds. pic.twitter.com\/NS7O1IlEj6 \u2014 Michal Slowinski (@michau9_) September 2, 2020 Slowinski urged other coaches to step forward if they abused the camera exploit. \u201cSooner or later you will be caught and then it will be too late. It\u2019s not a threat, it\u2019s a chance,\u201d he said. ESIC determine players not complicit in cheating In a September 2 statement, the Esports Integrity Commission (ESIC) told the community there is \u201cinsufficient evidence available to determine\u201d MIBR, Heroic, and Hard Legion players were complicit in their coaches\u2019 cheating. \u201cESIC has reviewed an extensive amount of information with the aim of ascertaining any evidence of complicity of players involved in the affected teams,\u201d it said.
