Ex-iBP Team Officially Banned by Valve

[Notoroius]

Back in January and early February 2015 we took action after we discovered that a small number of professional CS:GO players were engaged in match-fixing. Our decision was to ban these players indefinitely from involvement in Valve-sponsored events. To clarify, the bans for these players are permanent, and players proven to have taken part in match-fixing will be permanently banned. -Valve

Banned players :
Duc “cud” Pham
Derek “dboorn” Boorn
Casey Foster
Sam “Dazed” Marine
Braxton “swag” Pierce
Keven “AZK” Larivière
Joshua “Steel” Nissan

They should get 1-2 year ban max.

Perm is pretty good, it shows what the consequences are and that others shouldn't do it. They are the first examples and should stay banned imo

Although I don't necessarily agree with Valve's decision, I'm just glad they finally made one instead of dragging it along even further. Now maybe the ex-iBP team can finally move on with their lives.

Yeah i saw this when i opened up cs:go its pretty surprising valve did this.

[Hydra]

ha, that what they get, it makes the game better now c:

They didn't have set rules before the bans as they were the first ones to get it.
I get it that they should have consequences for doing so, but then again, CSGL: https://gyazo.com/c3a1003523c75a7de0210a8c885ba6cb
Banning them was a good way to show that they aren't fucking around but to perma is a bit since there wasn't any set rules & it will def shake up anybody afterwards now.

I'm typically not a fan of perma ban. People fuck up and make bad decisions, go ahead and punish them but keep it real ffs.

[Charion]

Took them a couple of months to finally make a decision ever since that match fixing went down, took awhile

[Kriffy]

Yeah, I agree posts above, Valve shouldn't have banned them permanently but for like 2 years instead to give them time to think through the things they have done.
