Two cheaters were among the participants of the Finnish open qualification stage of the Red Bull Flick event, and these players managed to win the final. Two famous Finnish cyber athletes – Aleksi «allu» Jalli and Elias «Jamppi» Olkkonen also faced these cheaters in a show match and lost to them with a score of 3 – 1. The culprits were two players with nicknames «woldes» and «jezayyy», who played under the tag «boss osuja». It is already known that one of them owns several accounts that were previously banned by VAC.
Many teams participated in the Finnish Open Qualifiers, and the fact that the cheaters managed to reach the finals has caused serious concern for the organizers. On May 24, Red Bull said it received reports of possible cheating and began investigating the incident. The competition was held on the FACEIT platform, but the hackers managed to bypass the anti-cheat built into it. According to the representatives of Red Bull, the problem arose because the platform update released last week temporarily stopped working some ways of detecting cheats.
Since the competition schedule does not allow to hold qualifying again, the first place was given to the team that followed the disqualified leaders. Enhanced Sports Eclub will therefore be considered the winner of the Red Bull Flick Finnland and will qualify for the European qualifying round later this week.
