The three players who were caught cheating are named as Hovik "KQLY" Tovmassian of e-sports team Titan, Simon "smn" Beck of Team Alternate, and Gordon "Sf" Giry of Epsilon. All were caught cheating via the Valve Anti-Cheat System (VAC). It's alleged that the software used connected through a players Steam Workshop account. All three players have been what is known as 'VAC Banned,' which means their participation in the Dreamhack Championship and potentially future competitive play is now over. As a result of this, both Titan and Epsilon have been kicked out of the tournament, which subsequently led to the release of both KQLY and Sf.
