Valve recently made a big call with Counter-Strike 2, and drew a line in the sand when it comes to a feature called SnapTap. Mostly associated with Razer keyboards, though identical features can be found on other hardware, SnapTap basically enables players to counter-strafe more easily in the game: So Valve has banned it (alongside other automation tools), with the ESL quickly doing the same on August 29.
You'd expect the pros to be all over this, and most of them are, but yesterday the team HEROIC messed up. Shortly after victory over NIP in an ESL Pro League Season 20 match, the ESL announced mid-broadcast that SnapTap had been detected on a player's hardware. HEROIC's win was struck off, with the map awarded to NIP, and NIP went on to win the match overall 2-1.
