MiBR and dead punished by BTS for use of the CS:GO coach bug
Following ESL banning coaches Aleksandr 'MechanoGun' Bogatiryev, Ricardo 'dead' Sinigaglia, and Nicolai 'HUNDEN' Petersen for abusing a spectator bug in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, BTS has concluded its own investigation into the bug and has also banned dead for the same offense.
dead was coaching MiBR when these offenses occurred, and the team has already acted decisively, firing the coach following the ESL ban. The organisation is yet to make a comment following the BTS decison, but while they have been offered the right to appeal, the team's reaction to the ESL ban suggests that is unlikely.
This cheating allowed spectators - such as the coaches - to place themselves anywhere on the map. This allowed them an unfair insight into what the other team was doing, and included observing areas which the opposition would usually be unable to see, such as the enemy team spawn area.
