The 堂山 小學生之間ポルノ映画team went 0-1 down in the series despite stealing NIP's Ancient pick.

HEROIC are the first team to have a map forfeited at an ESL event due to the new policy

HEROIC have had their first map victory overturned at ESL Pro League Season 20 after one of its players was found to be using Snap Tap, ESL has announced.

Damjan "?kyxsan?" Stoilkovski's side is facing Ninjas in Pyjamas in their opening game in Malta and stole the Ninjas' Ancient pick, 13-10, to kick off the series. During the break between maps, HEROIC's players looked visibly confused and unhappy, and after the game resumed it was revealed why.

"The first map has been overturned as HEROIC have been caught using Snap Tap," Adam "?Dinko?" Hawthorne said on the broadcast. "Which has allowed NIP to win the first map and they are now 1-0 up in the series."

The penalty comes less than a week after ESL announced it would no longer allow movement-automating keyboard features such as Razer's Snap Tap and Wooting's SOCD at in-person events, starting at ESL Pro League Season 20.

The features are allowed in online tournaments for the time being, but are expected to be banned "when detection and enforcement is possible," an ESL representative told HLTV.

The tournament organizer's ban came after Valve took a hard-line stance against the features and implemented a detection feature for them in matchmaking.

HLTV has reached out to ESL for comment on how penalties will be enforced in the future, including for repeat infractions. This story will be updated when we hear back.
