Description

HLTV Confirmed is joined by ESIC Commissioner Ian Smith to talk in detail about watchdog's decision to ban HUNDEN. What was in the files HUNDEN leaked, how ESIC decides on the punishment, were players involved in the coaching bug, and should (supposedly) Astralis worry about being the recipient of the information - these and other questions were answered in this episode. In addition to that, ESIC's investigations on NA matchfixing, Australian MDL bans, coach bug, and the Akuma situation are discussed.
