Following the Valve's decision to ban a number of players, FACEIT have also decided to take a measures against the individuals involved in the match fixing scandal.
Earlier this evening we reported that Valve banned all the individuals involved in the match fixing scandal between iBUYPOWER and Netcode Guides at CEVO Season 5 from all the upcoming events funded and supported by them.
Now, FACEIT has came out with their official statement regarding the matter:
FACEIT has always worked to set a high standard of professionalism, transparency and good faith in the community. Following Valve’s decision, all persons banned from official Valve competitions in relation to match fixing have been banned from participating in any FACEIT events or competitions.
Effective immediately, Casey Foster, who had been supporting FACEIT in North America since November 2014, has been relieved from his duties and is not involved in any FACEIT activity. As a direct result of the bans Clutch Cats, consisting of banned players Sam “DaZeD” Marine, Braxton “swag” Pierce and Keven “AZK” Larivière, will see their invites for the FACEIT 2015 League revoked. Both Joshua “steel” Nissan and Derek ”dboorn” Boorn will also not be allowed in the FACEIT 2015 League Closed Qualifier. The remaining members of the team have the option to continue with alternative players, under a different team name.”
This leaves a North American division of FACEIT League 2015 with one less team which will probably be filled with another team from the qualifiers.
