ESIC has concluded its investigation into Team SENZA, which also competed under the names “-72C” and “ROSY,” regarding matches played in CCT Season 3 Europe in June 2025. Following the investigation, ESIC issued multiple sanctions against both the players and the organization for breaches of competitive integrity rules and failure to cooperate with the investigation.

The most severe punishment was handed to Kirsan “byek” Ivanov, who was found guilty of account-sharing during official matches. According to ESIC, suspicious changes in gameplay and connection patterns were detected throughout the series, indicating that another individual may have taken over the account during matches. As a result, “byek” received a two-year ban lasting until April 6, 2028.

Five additional players — timeagento, spira, malenta, borosto, and 1nhuman — were suspended for 12 months due to failure to cooperate with the investigation. ESIC also noted that “timeagento” was already serving a separate five-year ban under the alias “Damiel,” meaning his overall suspension will remain active until March 2031.

In addition, Team SENZA itself was fined $20,000.

As a reminder, nifee earned up to $8,000 from betting on his own matches, for which he received a ban from ESIC
