To secure the integrity of competitive Counter-Strike, ESEA launched the ESEA LAN anti-cheat which will see its first use this weekend at the iBUYPOWER Masters.

In the official release, ESEA states that they have been developing the anti-cheat designed for LAN over the past year, with the first technical test already performed at ESL One New York in October.

The purpose of the LAN anti-cheat is to secure the competitive integrity and assure the community that the players are not cheating at their favorite tournaments or in matches they are watching.

The ESEA LAN Anti-Cheat will not be exclusive to only ESEA or ESL events - any organizer that can meet the basic requirements can apply and use the technology.

Not much has been revealed about how the anti-cheat actually works, but more details expected to be known when the iBUYPOWER Masters tournament kicks off this Saturday.
