European esports organization Inner Circle has accused the CS roster Benched Gods of using a radar hack and participating in match-fixing. Club representatives have officially called on the Esports Integrity Commission (ESIC) to launch an investigation into the team's activities.

According to a post on X, the statement was published on the eve of the match between Inner Circle's academy roster and Benched Gods at the CCT 2026 Challengers Europe Series 6 tournament. The club's management emphasized that their academy's mission is to raise the younger generation of players on the values of fair play, which is why they are forced to openly draw attention to such precedents.

Inner Circle supported its appeal with video evidence and links to complaints from other teams and community members. In its statement, the organization recalled that Benched Gods had already been disqualified due to suspicious activity during the closed qualifier for the VRS GLuck Yungstar 2026: Series #1 tournament.

This is not the first scandal of its kind: in July of this year, the CYBERSHOKE platform banned five Benched Gods players on suspicion of using cheats. The respective sanctions against the esports players were applied immediately following the company's internal review.
