In 2018, at the eXTREMESLAND ZOWIE Asia CS:GO, Nikhil 'forsaken' Kumawat of OpTic India was caught cheating mid-match using aimbot during a tournament game against Revolution, a Vietnamese Counter-Strike: Global Offensive team. The tournament had a $100,000 prize pool. OpTic India was disqualified and Kumawat was dismissed from the team.
A day later, the 22-year-old Latvian player addressed the claims via a Twitter post. He provided a comprehensive statement and said, “Firstly, I would like to clarify that I have never, nor will I ever, cheat or match fix in a game.”
Ardiis labelled the accusations false and pointed out that the evidence does not provide any proof of his alleged wrongdoings. However, he admitted to engaging in conversations about potential match-fixing during his CS: GO career. Due to financial hardships affecting his mental health, he had agreed for a demonstration of how the whole process works.
Ultimately, he reiterated that he has never match fixed or cheated in CS: GO or Valorant and his actions don’t make him proud. He is willing to co-operate with Valve and Riot to validate his innocence if required. Ardiis confessed to showing intent for match-fixing or cheating. Whether or not that makes him guilty or innocent is up for debate.
