ECO.COBRA player aSpx became famous for all the wrong reasons when a video of him apparently cheating at WCG Brazil circulated the CS world. Now it has been officially announced he is banned for six years from Brazilian events.As previously reported it emerged that Pedro "aSpx" Slatovisk may have cheated at the WCG Brazil qualifier. The ECO.COBRA player, whose team finished 4th-5th, had a video made of his actions with a wallhack showing how they would appear if he were cheating. The topic quickly became a hot one around the Counter-Strike world as people weighed in with their opinions. The official word on the matter has now been reached though and it appears aSpx will be banned for six years from Brazilain competitions, with the potential for reevalution of that ban in three.

"The player "aSpx" has been suspended from all competitions I will organize for a minimum period of six years, with the sentence due to be reviewed after three years, and from all big qualifiers, events like g3x-cup, Brazil Cup and Allstar Games are also included," Marcucci told TeamPlay.com.br.
As for ECO.COBRA I have decided to apply a minimum sentence to the team, they are suspended for one year, with the review in six-months' time."

He is the last in the row, and you can also clearly see his monitor turned away to the wall. Two weird things, especially is positioning... last man in the row... as team captain?
edit. link doesn't work correctly, just copy paste it.
but then i saw the pic and he looks rediculous
If he cheated I have to admit, the guy have guts ;x
I just only hope the ban affect not only cs, but any other WCG game =)
GJ aSpx, congratulations!
You're just pissed off because your country only have weak teams on CS, if the news are big or not, relevant or not, IT IS STILL NEWS!
So be quiet please and respect the community. ^^
"Cheaters are everyday thing right now in all over the world"
U just said that they are everywhere, and then u said there isn't any in lithuania?
Btw, how could anyone expect one of the "top" teams be cheating on lan and in WCG qualifiers? This is all about lack of organization, and it's a shame for me, and for all brazilian community, but it can happen (and happened) anywhere including your country!
You got it wrong when i said u were disrespecting the player, I want him to die, and if my city wasn't more than 2000 km from his city, I would be there waiting for him to go on streets and hit him with a baseball bat.
But with your post, u disrespected the player when insinuating that this is a stupid and irrelevant post, speaking like if it's wrong to post something like this here. It may be for you, but keep your words to yourself, this is related to esports as so this site is, so please respect the author.
just to finish when u said "Top 4 Brazil's WCG using Hacks < Lithuania's Top 100 playing pure game."
first: THEY WERE TOP 4 BECAUSE OF THE CHEATER
second: u said cheaters are everywhere, why not in lithuania too?
just stop beein' so close minded, and grow up buddy!
Go to the other game aspx bot n00b!!!
'-'
well it's nice for him to have a little bit of fame in the cs world hahahahah
