Cheating undermines the integrity of competitive esports, and it’s always disappointing when we must address such issues in our tournaments. This is A1 Adria League’s official announcement on the disqualification of CS2 team The Wild Ones.

A1 Adria League maintains a zero-tolerance policy towards cheating

We never like it when such a situation occurs, but we have to act upon any cheating in our tournament. In the 13th season of the A1 Adria League, team The Wild Ones was disqualified in the group stage of CS2. Their last few matches were brought to our attention. We gathered a lot of proof of suspicious situations, and all were looked at by our administration team. Ultimately, we decided to disqualify them based on the firm believe they have been using a radar hack.

Additionally, we received a report from IESF and their analysis of the Team Croatia which led to their disqualification from the IESF World Esports Championship 2024: East European Qualifier. They revealed that the team had been using programs that were giving an unfair advantage. The program was supposedly used in the match against Israel. Everyone received a half-year ban from participating in FISSURE tournaments. Furthermore, this was their second ban in a row.

As far as A1 Adria League is concerned, we made some changes to the bracket and reverted the matches The Wild Ones played. This week we are continuing with the CS2 tournament and two Bo3 matches will be played in the lower bracket. For more information make sure to follow our social media accounts and watch us on stream.
