The Esports Integrity Coalition (ESIC) issued a 5 year ban to professional “Counter-Strike: Global Offensive” player Nikhil “Forsaken” Kumawat on Wednesday after he was reportedly caught cheating during the ESL India Premiership earlier this month.
It’s “well known” Kumawat was caught cheating during the Zowie eXtemesland Tournament LAN finals in Shanghai last week leading to Optic India’s disqualification, the ESIC said in a press release. “As Optic India had won the ESL India Premiership the previous week and ESL India is a member of ESIC, we asked them to examine Optic India’s and Kumawat’s performance specifically to see if it was possible that he cheated in their event,” it said. “The evidence that emerged indicates beyond reasonable doubt that Kumawat cheated during the ESL India Premiership.”
Cheats Kumawat allegedly used during the eXremesland event were also found on his solid-state drive from the Premiership, and match analysis shows they were used numerous times. No cheats were found on the SSDs of other Optic India players, the ESIC said.
