CS:GO referee fears there may be more coach spectator bugs

While the CS:GO spectator bug at the centre of a massive ESIC cheating investigation has now been patched by developers Valve, one of the referees helping the investigation has warned there could be more bugs that could be exploited - some of which are potentially worse than the first.

Appearing on the HLTV Confirmed podcast, esports referee Michal Slowinski was being quizzed about the process he went through to first identify cheaters using the CS:GO spectator bug. When host Chad 'SPUNJ' Burchill alluded to the fact the bug was no longer in the game, Slowinski admits that there are at least "two more different instances that we might be looking into right now." The referee also clarifies that these are different variations of the coach spectator bug and that they can actually offer "more of an advantage" than the initial bug that is currently being investigated by ESIC.

"[The first] instance of the bug has now been fixed, but unfortunately there might be more," Slowinski says. "I think there might be like two more different instances that we are looking into right now. It's actually even more of an advantage, so let's hope it's not too bad."
