Sławiński's tweet exposing the bug initially went unnoticed, but soon after, several coaches admitted to having encountered the bug during recent matches.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>As the scandal unfolded, many coaches were banned, with penalties ranging from 11 weeks to 3 years, depending on the severity of the offense. The bans were issued by the Esports Integrity Commission (ESIC), which conducted an extensive investigation into the matter, analyzing over 25,000 demos from matches dating back to 2016.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>The ESIC offered leniency to coaches who confessed to their wrongdoing, reducing their bans by 40%. However, not all coaches were forthcoming, and some even denied using the bug to gain an unfair advantage.

It also served as a wake-up call for the community, revealing that cheating was not limited to individual players, but could also involve coaching staff.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>In the aftermath of the scandal, Valve took action, disqualifying several teams from major tournaments and resetting their RMR points. This response from Valve underscored the importance of fair play and sportsmanship in the world of esports.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>In the spring of 2021, the coaching scandal resurfaced when Sławiński revealed three new ways to activate the bug. Richard Lewis, a journalist and commentator on the esports scene, claimed that there were still at least 27 coaches who had not been penalized for their actions. The ESIC subsequently accused three more coaches, though some organizations stood by their coaches, asserting that they had not sought to gain an unfair advantage.\u003C/p>\u003Cpicture>\u003Csource type=\"image/webp\" srcset=\"https://imageproxy.waxpeer.com/insecure/rs:fit:400:0/g:nowe/q:70/f:webp/plain/https://waxpeer.com/_ipx/f_webp/img/blog/coaching-scandal/4.webp\" media=\"(max-width: 600px)\">\u003C/source>\u003Cimg src=\"https://imageproxy.waxpeer.com/insecure/rs:fit:800:0/g:nowe/q:70/f:webp/plain/https://waxpeer.com/_ipx/f_webp/img/blog/coaching-scandal/4.webp\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"csgo2\" />\u003C/picture>\u003Cp>Today, the coaching scandal seems to have quieted down, with no new cases or bans announced.
