ForZe challenges lmbt's CS:GO coaching ban

It has already been a day of reckoning for the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive community. The Esports Integrity Commission revealed earlier today it was issuing bans to 37 coaches for abusing the now infamous coach spectator bug, but not everyone is happy about it - in fact, forZe eSports is already challenging the findings.


Following the release of the report, in which assistant coach Sergey 'Imbt' Bezhanov was named, the Russian esports organisation has leapt to his defence. Despite being banned for seven and a half months for apparently abusing the bug in three separate cases (two against MiBR and one against Nordavind), forZe isn't happy with the investigation.


According to the organisation, the assistant coach was in the Maincast analytics studio for the the MiBR match and couldn't abuse the bug by providing information to players. In the Nordavind match, lmbt apparently reported this to ESIC himself and did not pass on any information to his players.
