VIDEO: Counter-Strike eSports Team Forfeits Victory After Using Map Exploit

Pro Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Team, Fnatic, has Forfeited a Rematch against Team, LDLC, after Using a Map Exploit during the $250,000 DreamHack Winter eSports Event. Fnatic Won the Match on November 28th by Boosting One of its Players to a Ledge that Gave him a View and Sniping Position on Almost the Entire Overpass Map. You Can See How Players Jump on Top of One Another to Reach the Spot in the Video below, Posted to YouTube by User, David Kallberg. The Fnatic Player was Essentially Standing on an Invisible Ledge he Shouldn't Have been Able to Reach. While DreamHack's Rules Don't Explicitly Forbid this, it does Count as "Pixel-Walking", which was Forbidden at DreamHack Summer 2013, according to HLTV.org. LDLC Filed Protest and after Taking it into Consideration, DreamHack Administrators Found that, Both Teams had Used Boosts and Said that, they Would Have to Replay the Match. However, Fnatic has since Announced that, it's Forfeiting the Match. "With tremendous respect towards the CS:GO community and other teams we have decided to withdraw from the tournament", the Team Said on its Facebook Page.
