The ESL has announced a two year ban for the Moldovan HighRollersGaming member Evgeniy "vedimak" Grigorov, as he has been found guilty trying to bypass the ESL Wire system in Sunday's IEM6 Global Challenge New York qualifier.



The Moldovan team Alliance generated headlines when they eliminated Frag eXecutors in round one of the first qualifier for IEM6 Global Challenge New York. The team later on went on to lose against Moscow Five in the fourth round. In the second qualifier the team attended as HighRollersGaming, but with the exact same lineup.



Once again a lot of suspicion was created around the team, as the community had the impression that the team was using shady methods, especially Evgeniy "vedimak" Grigorov.



Grigorov today received a two year ban from ESL, based on the fact that he was found guilty trying to bypass the ESL Wire system, the ESL website states. ESL claim Grigorov was unveiled by new detecting methods that were added to the ESL Wire software recently. He furthermore used a fake profile on the ESL page, for the games that took place this Sunday, as well as last Sunday.



Following our video from HRG's match against Frag eXecutors this Sunday, showing the Grigorov ace, the community seemed to have generated a clear opinion about Grigorov, which is strengthened by today's ban. Grigorov is now banned from all ESL activities for two years, seeing his ban expire September 6, 2013.
