Yesterday, in his Twitter account, Maxim Bednarsky, CEO of the Ukrainian organization IKLA, accused the Hungarian team PERA of using unauthorized software. The teams met twice in the qualifiers for the first major Counter-Strike 2 tournament, PGL Major Copenhagen 2024.
According to Maxim, they reviewed the game demo and found numerous suspicious moments, suggesting that the team might have used cheats against them. He also reached out to Valve, calling the situation absurd.
IKLA first faced PERA at PGL Major Copenhagen 2024: European Open Qualifier 2 in a bo1 format. Then, on the map Ancient, IKLA defeated their opponents with a score of 13:8.
However, just yesterday in the PGL Major Copenhagen 2024: European RMR B, PERA decisively defeated their opponents on Anubis with a score of 13:4. The recording clearly showed how PERA amazingly "read" their opponents, emerging victorious in almost every situation.
Maxim Bednarsky:
The game against PERA was highly suspicious. Strange moments. Also, how can they be a higher-seeded team if we won the seeding match against them? It's very disappointing to see such things at the most prestigious tournament. These people create a new tag every 2-3 months and continue to deceive. What the hell is this, PGL, VALVE? Now, cheaters are playing in your world championship. We watched the demo of our match. Obviously, they're evolving and not shooting through walls. But for real players, it's obvious. It's 2024, and we still don't have cameras behind players in closed qualifiers for the Major. We invest hundreds of thousands of dollars in organizing teams. We attract experienced players who train hundreds of hours, only to play against cheaters! Well done, Valve esports... disappointing.
Currently, IKLA is one step away from being eliminated from the PGL Major Copenhagen 2024: European RMR B. Their next opponent will be the team Heroic, against whom they will play for survival.
