gokushima's ESIC sanction expires following informant reduction

10-10-2025 15:27

The Russian player's reduction comes after he "provided material assistance to ESIC, including information and corroboration that supported subsequent enforcement actions against other participants."

ESIC has announced that Erkhan "⁠gokushima⁠" Bagynanov's Rejection Order for breaches of the ESIC Anti-Corruption Code and Code of Conduct relating to match manipulation and associated integrity violations has been reduced.

gokushima receives two-year match-fixing ban

The original sanction period was from March 27, 2024 to March 26, 2026, but has now been reduced from two years to eighteen months and 13 days, ending October 10, 2025, after gokushima provided material assistance to ESIC, including information and corroboration that supported subsequent enforcement actions against other participants.

The 25-year-old was gaining recognition after signing for FORZE in October 2023, but it all came crashing down when the Russian organization benched the team and news of gokushima's ESIC ban broke in April 2024.

gokushima's cooperation materially assisted ESIC in issuing sanctions against:

Egor "⁠zLy⁠" Polyakov – Lifetime ban
Aleksandr "⁠Ruler⁠" Maximov – 5-year ban
Dmitriy "⁠propleh⁠" Senigov – 5-year ban
Petr "⁠timeagento⁠" Markheev – 5-year ban
Other information presently being used by ESIC in another ongoing investigation into match-fixing activities.

Vsm freed, but shit xddd

2025-10-10 20:41

bailed himself out is a bit much, he gained back only 6 months, one season.

Considering player break and that nobody will be signing him before after the major (or at least nobody important), I would say half a season at most

2025-10-10 16:29

he's just a hard tough guy who hates snitches

bro snitched to buy himself half a year reduction, what a joke

Welcome back nocries

2025-10-10 15:43

who

Nice, but i'd rather see match fixers and cheaters always get life time ban. And informants should be granted full pardon

hello any info about somebody's case?

1) matchfixing 2) snitching on people for only 6 months reduction who even wants him as a teammate, after his ban expires? (+ maybe bad pr for the teams signing him)

Fixing team won't sign him for sure

2025-10-10 15:52

same, i don't understand the move. It's not like the money he makes from fixing would make it up for trying to perform at the highest level, and right now it would be impossible to fix as no one would trust him He saves 6 months but loses both his opportunity bro ruined his fixing career and his pro one, my GOAT

2025-10-10 16:22

Trust? He snitched on matchfixers so any legit org wont CARE about it

gokushima and nokushima in same team ?? @nocries

2025-10-10 16:13

Should be ZERO tolerance against matchfix, they fuckin steal money from people that wont get any off it back. Lifetime ban should be standard.

would be better for him if they didn't share this info

2025-10-10 16:14

no need for the nocries alias now

bro need to follow the hood codex youtu.be/Mhw-mzYyfDQ

2025-10-10 16:20

see, back home, we call that snitching.

not cool!

2025-10-10 16:23

Informer, ya' no say daddy me Snow me I go blame I lick he boom-boom down

What a Rat

So the guy basically removes 4 matchfixers and likely whole Senza org, considering other news and the last bullet point of this one, and people in comments are unhappy about him "snitching" them out? Maybe this community deserves the state the lower tiers of the game are in right now after all.

fuck all of them, this snitch should have gotten lifetime ban and then maybe after cooperating they could lessen it to 2 years ban. not even mention they should have been sued for matchfixing like in any other sport

2025-10-10 16:38

Sued by whom? It's not like there's some big overviewing international body guarding CS, or even whole esports. There's no FIFA, FIBA/NBL, NHL or whatever that basically controls everything and all the clubs and school/college teams work under who could have forced it down on all teams and players as necessary part of their contracts. Only TOs where it happened could do it, if we assume they are not part of it to begin with, or, I guess, bettors could make some kind of collective case, but they would need proof their specific match was tempered from somewhere.

2025-10-10 16:50

yeah i realize there is noone to force those rules but should

2025-10-10 17:23

sure, lets pretend that he's a hero fighting against matchfixing and not a matchfixer who got caught, so now he's throwing his teammates under the bus to reduce his own punishment

2025-10-10 17:44

And it's a net positive anyway, it's better for 9 matchfixers (assuming whole Senza team will be banned) to be banned than 1

2025-10-10 22:11

people getting mad for him wanting to play as soon as possible like they wouldnt take 300k when they live in the asscrack of nowhere (300k usd is probably worth like 3 million usd in siberia anyway)

nice argument, dont get mad at indian scammers because they live in a shithole too

2025-10-10 16:39

well you can get mad at the fact that there are millions of people forced to resort to literal scamming just to eat but if you have no other choice in life other than poverty you cant really get mad at an indian scammer either unless you fall for it (in which case youre a moron) so i dont know what kind of brain damage you suffered to even say this as an argument

2025-10-11 06:01

Snitches get stitches imagine been and matchfixer and snitch also lmaoo

2025-10-10 16:47

HLTV be like omg i hate matchfixing HLTV also be like ‘i cant believe the matchfixer snitched omgggg’

2025-10-10 16:49

they just want someone to moralize at

2025-10-10 17:30

good on him, hopefully it's a sign of change

2025-10-10 17:29

It's easy to "change" when you live in a 3rd world country and have already made 5 lifetimes worth of money from matchfixing. He should not be allowed back in the scene.

Nocries scene breakthrought, just months before Gokushima ban expires….. and now nocries will "focus on graduation" and vanish

2025-10-10 17:32

And now he's banned again for ban evasion on faceit

2025-10-10 19:57

He snitched XD

2025-10-10 21:39

Out of the 4 people who got banned, 2 haven't played since 2022 and one was already a known matchfixer...

2025-10-10 22:26

so what about ESL

Braindead hltv commenters prasing matchfixer that got 5 known matchfixers and 4 retired players banned, incredible work! Next time gokushima gets banned for matchfixing he should find 20 other sub 1k$ prizepool monkeys to throw inder the bus

2025-10-11 01:06

huge news for the unemployed

2025-10-11 06:03

gokushima is just a liar. Propleh never played 322 matches, at least was not notified about it

2025-10-12 13:03

I'm talking about propleh, I don't know information about other players. At the moment, the system is very bad. There is no evidence and the person gave part of his life to the game, now he cannot play

2025-10-12 13:07

Me too. He played with Joel ans Bubble and you want to tell me he's clean? Second, his last matcg was 2 years ago, I'd say he doesn't want to play anyways
