Alexander "KaiR0N-" Anashkin from BetBoom Team commented on the situation regarding Joel "joel" Holmund's ban for cheating. Anashkin expressed surprise that the Swedish esports player's teammates had not noticed anything suspicious in Holmund's gameplay. KaiR0N- shared his thoughts on his personal Telegram channel.
"Alright, it’s all a bit amusing, but I have a question for those who played with joel: why did NOBODY NOTICE ANYTHING? It’s been six months since his ban, and you bring him into various teams, scrimming every day, and yet no one saw anything? Either he was playing without any tricks in scrims, but then why does his rating skyrocket during official matches?
I’m not accusing anyone, just genuinely curious about how this works, because, from my perspective, the first ones who should raise the alarm are the teammates of such players. If there are any guesses beyond people just attributing it to 'skill' or luck, I’m open to comments."
Previously, insider and scout Alexey "OverDrive" Birukov also shared his thoughts on this issue in Telegram. In particular, OverDrive criticised the management of BC.Game for incompetence, and revealed that Ilya "Perfecto" Zalutskiy had received an invitation to join the team.
