Player banned for stealing SSDs
60 days after being unbanned from Faceit, NA player nbgee12 has gotten re-banned, this time permanently for attempting to steal SSDs belonging to players at IEM Dallas.
You read that right, this genius decided that it would be a good idea to piss in the cereal of the company who just unbanned him. As nbgee12 himself recalls on stream, he was on a Discord call whilst he entered the venue at 4 AM. He then went ahead and took SSDs belonging to the likes of Stewie2K and NiKo, and brought them to his hotel.
He was quickly caught thanks to CCTV footage, and was originally handed a 5 year ban before it was elevated to being permanent.
Now you might wonder what caused someone with eyes on going pro in CS2 to do this, we did too. nbgee12 himself came out and blamed marijuana use for his direction. That might have worked during reefer madness, but not now.
G2’s manager Peca raises valid points about security at events, and how this costs valuable prep time. We’re lucky all that happened was that a few SSDs were stolen, who knows what someone with bad intentions could’ve done.
Now excuse us, we’re going to enjoy a joint and rob a bank.
