ESIC odpravi prepoved HUNDEN

The Esports Integrity Commission (ESIC) je napovedal, da Nicolai “UNDHUNDEN⁠ Petersen is allowed to participate in ESIC-member events with immediate effect. The Commission has stated that the decision came “in light of a constructive engagement” between the two parties on November 29.

Izjava pove le malo o tem, kaj je razprava med obema povzročila, razen o tem, kaj je povzročila STOT strinjanje z "ustreznim usposabljanjem" in v ESIC obljubi, da "pregleda svoje politike in postopke, da zagotovi, da so skladni z dobro prakso industrije in ustrezajo namenu."

STOT himself has released a brief statement on Twitter, thanking his lawyers for “guiding me through what has been a difficult period,” suggesting he challenged his ban through legal counsel.

The case relating to the investigation into STOT ni več v javnosti ESIC Odprite register preiskav, where the watchdog shares findings and decisions regarding the cases they undertake.

STOT je banned on August 19, 2021 for breaching ESIC’s Code of Conduct, after he was found to have shared confidential material from Junaknjegove strateške mape s članom konkurenčne ekipe pred IEM Köln tisto leto.

Takrat je ESIC samo deljenje mape videl kot grožnjo integriteti dogodka člana ESIC kljub dejstvu, da prejemnik ni nikoli odprl zadevnega občutljivega gradiva, in se odločil prepovedati 31-letnika Dane že dve leti.

Preden je dobil dveletno prepoved, STOT had served an eight-month sentence stemming from ESIC’s investigation into the use of the infamous coaching bug, for which around 40 coaches have been banned to date and which is still believed to be ongoing over two years since it began.
