Spunj & Stunna start GoFundMe for CSGO refs who caught cheating coaches Twitter: micha9_ \/ ESLCounter-Strike commentators and analysts Tres \u2018Stunna\u2019 Saranthus and Chad \u2018Spunj\u2019 Burchill have set up a fundraiser to pay back the grueling work put in by Michal Slowinski & Steve Dudenhoeffer to expose the use of a \u2018coaching bug\u2019 at professional tournaments. [jwplayer TyNHVfoS] As a result of their investigation, three coaches: MiBR\u2019s dead, Heroic\u2019s Hunden, and Hard Legion\u2019s MechanoGun were all handed lengthy bans from playing or coaching in ESL and DreamHack tournaments. The coaches had been found to have exploited a spectator bug, that would allow them to view the game from a static, elevated position on the map, and possibly give their players information they wouldn\u2019t otherwise have. To find the evidence necessary, freelance admin Slowinski trawled through thousands of demos (and used the standard CS:GO demo viewer, which is notoriously buggy), meticulously analyzing the coaches\u2019 perspectives. This was thankless work \u2013 even more so when some of the fans of affected teams reacted on social media \u2013 so as a way of paying them back, Stunna and Spunj have set up a GoFundMe page, with a target of $10,000. The fundraiser is already halfway to its goal at the time of writing, only five hours after it was started. On Twitter, Burchill said, \u201cwithout the hard work of Michal & Steven this problem could have become much more rampant.\u201d These admins dedicated their own time, they were not paid or asked to do this. This was exclusively done due how seriously they take their jobs. \u2014 Chad Burchill (@SPUNJ) September 3, 2020 \u201cThis is a donation that is being taken in appreciation of the efforts of Michal Slowinski & Steve Dudenhoeffer as they spent countless hours reviewing game footage and spotting exploited mechanics of CS:GO.\u201d The GoFundMe explains. \u201cMost notably and recently, exposing several coaches for utilizing this bug and spending hundreds of hours in their pursuit. This sort of behavior should be rewarded as well as the hours of hard work put toward it.\u201d ESL has also confirmed that they will compensate Michal for his work, and have spoken with him already.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
