CS2 pro banned on FACEIT for cheating, while his team broke other rules in RMR qualifier

Damian “EMIYA” Boulware, a North American professional Counter-Strike 2 player, just got banned for cheating on FACEIT. It turns out his team, Rocket, also broke other rules during the closed qualifier for an RMR tournament.

The ban came to light on Feb. 19, less than two weeks before the PGL CS2 Major American RMR is scheduled to begin, where Rocket are set to compete. Shortly after, another Rocket player, Ahmed “ayy” Mahmoud, reportedly said he will not attend the RMR since they “don’t deserve that slot,” according to HLTV. During the closed qualifier for the event, Rocket apparently broke the rules by allowing their coach to communicate with the players during games, according to HLTV, which is forbidden by the rulebook.
