Are they banned for life, or is there a time limit on the ban? ESEA one is a year, but I wonder if the valve one expires.

Steel was part of IBP when they threw the match against netcodeguides. He left the team several months after the match fixing.

Well monte, moe, frozt, hiko, skadoodle and some other good NA players are currently not banned so look out for a new team soon. Also old mythic aka ncg now are a decent team that with some better individual play could have a run for it. Then C9 and all so yep

Being banned from majors is career ending. End of story. These guys will never be on a real team ever again. They might find a new game, but it is over for them with csgo. Their names are mud.

Any other major league sport would give out the same punishment for match-fixing.

Really disappointing to see this, especially since AZK was my favorite player.
I hope CS doesn't go down the BW path with this crap...
