ESL gives Astralis hefty fine for HUNDEN, Heroic CS:GO conflict of interest
ESL handed Astralis a $100,000 fine on June 29 for requesting and receiving services from an employee that was contracted to another organization between April and July 2021.
The official statement shared by ESL never mentions who that person was, but based on the description, it was most likely pro-turned-coach Nicolai “HUNDEN” Petersen. The 31-year-old was the head coach of Heroic when he got banned in August 2021 for attempting to leak a strategy folder from Heroic to another team that was going to attend IEM Cologne.
