In the CCT Season 2 Europe Series 7 match between B8 and BC.GAME there was a shock for everyone, as Joel "joel" Holmlund got blocked by the Akros anti-reader before the match. This became known already after the first card on the players' social networks;

After that BC.Game were disqualified from the tournament, and their further fate is unknown, as well as the player himself. After that, the community received many messages from players who reacted positively to the blocking of players.

In September 2023, joel had already received an indefinite lockout from all ESIC events starting August 30, 2023, for betting violations he committed while playing GODSENT. But on November 30, 2023, they announced that the charges have been dropped, but the lockout will remain until January 6, 2024.

Player reactions

Just in time to update anticheat)) just a cringe, kind of banned before entering the match I understand

npl, captaion of B8

The truth will come eventually, that's 100%. But it's so unfair to the teams that joel played in the CCP and didn't let them make the playoffs, every one of them deserves the playoffs more than the cheater ;)

We just have to wait for the rest of the players like him to be blocked and that's it

stadodo, KOI player

Won our game against BC 2-0, before the game we didn't even know about this situation, after the 1st map when we saw the news we were very surprised, LUL joel screwed up very badly, I hope after this he will finish his career

cptkurtka023, B8 player

What a surprise, omg, what??? I never expected this, wow, unbelievable? Lawyer saves the day, maybe! Big talent! He deserves another chance, not that he's had many. Expecting FaZe to sign him soon.

I should have leaked all the matchfishing evidence I was sent about joel, but I knew nothing was going to happen because ESIC had all that too and didn't do shit.
