Michael Slowinski, who used to serve as referee for ESL matches, said the game could still have two varieties «coaching bug». Last week, several coaches of top teams were forced to admit to using a bug that allowed them to see a random spot on the map, thus locating opposing players. Slowinski played a key role in the discovery of this read. He has recently analyzed many match recordings, found a way to reproduce this bug and found that many teams were undoubtedly using it.
Slowinski believes that the discovery of this cheat has caused concern for many players right now. When competitions are pandemic, players are more stressed, prizes have increased a lot recently, and the temptation to use an exploit can be too great.
Now Slowinski said that the bug originally discussed has already been fixed in a patch. However, two more variations may now be in play. So far, he and his assistants have yet to pinpoint a way to activate the bug. However, several suspicious recordings of matches have been found in which the observer had the opportunity to look around in the third person by rotating the camera around the player. Currently, the organization that protects fair play in cybersports(ESIC) has announced in the period when players can confess to using the bug. It will run through Sept. 13.
