BLAST, PGL and ESL Will Not Work With Maniac Following Allegations

What did BLAST, PGL and ESL say?
 

BLAST took to their official X (formerly Twitter) account to respond to the situation: “We are aware of social media posts regarding a complaint of misconduct against a BLAST Premier talent member, following a BLAST event. For reasons of confidentiality, we are unable to disclose specific details, but can confirm that this complaint was immediately and formally investigated and resulted in the complaint being upheld against the talent member, who is not a BLAST employee. We have communicated the outcome to the complainant in writing, and we have no current plans to work with the talent member.”
 

“Behaviour of this type has no place in any setting and everyone has the right to go to events without fearing the type of conduct that has been described to us and on social media. It will not be tolerated,” they added.

On the other hand, HLTV was able to get into contact with PGL, who issued a similar but shorter response through a representative, specifically stating "We won't hire him for the next PGL events.” 

Lastly, ESL has also distanced themselves from the Swiss analyst, stating that he would not be part of the ESL Pro League any longer: "We are aware of allegations made against an on-broadcast talent who has appeared on EFG's analyst desk this year. While this incident did not take place at an EFG event, the safety of fans, players, and staff is our No. 1 priority. We are investigating the matter, and moving forward, the talent will no longer be part of the ongoing broadcast of ESL Pro League."
