The recording is possibly part of the evidence Smith referred to in the interview above, when discussing their own investigation into match fixing. “We have a very focused investigation where we have really, really good corroborating evidence from Discord, from various chat log screenshots, and recordings of players, that we are going to ban for a very, very long time,” he said.
“The first part we’ll deal with quite quicky because, we’re dealing with idiots basically.” The larger investigation, in which they’re also working with police in Australia, takes longer due to the involvement of law enforcement.
The Esports Integrity Commission was founded in 2016 “to take responsibility for disruption, prevention, investigation, and prosecution of all forms of cheating in esports, including, but not limited to, match manipulation and doping.” Their members include many of the major operators of esports events, including the ESL and their subsidiary, Dreamhack.
