nerdRage have parted ways with Viliam "villiG" Andrascik with immediate effect after he was caught cheating during the online pre-qualifier for DreamHack Cluj.

After moving past Eagles G in the qualifier's Round of 128, nerdRage were pitted against PiTER in the second round. Halfway through the match, Viliam "⁠villiG⁠" Andrascik was caught cheating by FACEIT's client, which resulted in an automatic two-year ban on the platform.

This incident will draw similarities with the VAC ban handed to Joel "⁠emilio⁠" Mako during a fragbite Masters match between his then team, Property, and HellRaisers.

nerdRage reacted swiftly to the news about villiG's FACEIT ban and immediately cut ties with the player, with the team's future now looking really bleak.

"After finding out the recent shocking news we will have to temporarily suspend villiG with immediate effect," nerdRage manager Alexander "alexE" Erdogan told HLTV.org.
