Coach of Victory Zigzag received a ban on Faceit - due to this, the mix will miss the BLAST Showdown

Today, the coach of Victory Zigzag, Hardw1ll, was banned for cheats on FACEIT. As a result, the mix lost its slot in the BLAST Showdown!

His current stats were:

• ELO - 3697
• Matches - 4123
  
• Average KD - 1.23
  
• Win rate - 62%
  

The captain of Victory Zigzag stated that he has no intention of participating in tournaments with the team's roster anymore:

Hardw1ll got a ban on Faceit. He claims it wasn’t him and he used a computer at an internet cafe, but I don’t know him well enough and don’t trust him to support him in this situation. I don’t feel I'm right in my judgments about people after the situation with Joelmm. I wouldn't want to be involved in this in the future.

 

Previously, Joel "joel" Holmlund left the lineup because ESIC banned him from tournaments due to participation in fixed matches.

The Victory Zigzag lineup for the BLAST Showdown was:

•   Nikolai "mupzG" Durhus  
•   Daniel "mertz" Mertz  
  
•   Kamen "bubble" Kostadinov  
  
•   Dmitry "propleh" Senigov  
  
•   Ivan "Hardwell" Alekseev.  

BLAST Premier: Fall European Showdown 2023 will take place online from October 4 to 8. The winner will get a slot in the Fall Final, with a total prize pool of $67,500.

Note that some community members also accused another player of Victory Zigzag, Dmitry “propleh” Senigov, of using cheats and betting, but neither ESIC nor BLAST took any action against him.
