AGO stripped of their title due to stream sniping
In non-RMR match-related news, the Polish team AGO was stripped of their title after winning the Grand Final of the ESL Polish Championship.
The decision from ESL Poland came after a post-match video revealed the official stream running on a computer close to the team. The sentence was reduced to not include a ban due to cooperation from AGO, though AGO plan to take legal action against the decision.
