Epsilon release Sf

Epsilon took a heavy blow last night as Gordon "⁠Sf⁠" Giry was caught in the latest VAC ban wave just days before the team were due to attend DreamHack Winter.

The ban ended up costing Epsilon's place in the upcoming CS:GO major, which ultimately represents financial losses of five figures for the team. 

According to a statement issued by Epsilon, Sf admitted to cheating to the organisation's management, which resulted in the player being removed from the team with immediate effect.

"As you may know , last night was a shock for the whole scene (For Titan and Us)," team captain Robin "GMX" Stahmer said.

"This is not something that usually happens, and I didn’t expect that kind of thing to occur at that level of Counter Strike.

"Obviously we didn’t know that Sf cheated, and how long he cheated for, and was it 1 time only? All I know is that he told me that he cheated once in a Matchmaking, that’s all.

"Sf is obviously no longer part of the team, but this is something that we must not forget. We’re not going to Dreamhack, and this is maybe one of the worst feelings I’ve had to endure.

"I wish it never happened, but it did, so now we must go on and forget this nightmare."

Meanwhile, Epsilon stated that they may take legal action against Sf for the losses incurred by the organisation as a result of the player's ban.

Epsilon have now been left with the following four-man roster:

Adil "⁠ScreaM⁠" Benrlitom
Robin "⁠GMX⁠" Stahmer
Kevin "⁠Uzzziii⁠" Vernel
Christophe "⁠SIXER⁠" Xia
