Space Soldiers comment on DESPE's ESL ban

Space Soldiers' player Çağatay "DESPE" Sedef has been handed an ESL ban, making him ineligible to play on the German tournament organizer's platforms.

Despite not being part of Space Soldiers' starting five, the Turkish player is still under contract with the organization and was unable to stand in for Engin "⁠ngiN⁠" Kor during the IEM Oakland qualifier due to a cheating ban, which is set to expire two years from now. He did, however, play the ECS EU Season 4 Development league match Space Soldiers played against North.

DESPE is currently banned from all team games for two years on ESL

When contacted by HLTV, Space Soldiers answered saying they are "surprised by this" and that "our player has been falsely accused and this issue will be solved as soon as possible." The Turkish organization also tweeted about being in contact with ESL to enquire about the two-year cheating ban their player was handed.

Space Soldiers are due to play at ESEA's Season 25 Global Challenge LAN, which starts tomorrow. This ban will not affect the team, however, as the five starting players on the Turkish side will be in action in Burbank.

I pick i dont like erdogan and all his fans should be leave this planet soon. But for real... this team had days where their aim could be Niko mouz times skills.... and this is isnt natural. It is a development and nothing that happen someday. Especially if this players didnt show such skills since start. A ropz as exemple has his talent before he even start to play for mouz so no one is much surprised.

I didnt understand your point. Aren't you calling despe out for cheating? Despe was bottomfragging all the time, no way he can be cheating... Despe 26 kills on 2 maps Xantares 31 kills on cobble, 29 kills on Train Also this development didn't happen someday. They are just getting experienced day by day. For example maj3r was doing nothing 2 months ago but now ss at least can be doing some strats thanks to maj3r. They are getting better in every match they play. maybe in 1 year they will be a t2 team that can attend and do good things on decent lans, who knows?

LOL u know that an AC tool decided that he cheated??? This is clearly as fuck. Only tuskirh people can see themself as a victim of conspiriacy... that is a nation sickness. And experience will never surpass your naturaly skill limit

He got banned for cheating on ESL. E S L. This match was on ECS, there is no proof for ecs to not allow despe playing for that match. Even if he was cheating before, he clearly didn't cheat in that match CRY IS FREE

it is probably an alternate account thing. but who cares? despe is shit anyways. if i was the SS manager, i would just terminate his contract under this opportunity.
