This shocking incident has likely ended his career in the competitive gaming scene.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The incident was first reported by Dust2.us, HLTV\u2019s North American vertical. According to their report, Zanzoul was caught on camera trespassing in an \u201cunsecured backstage production area\u201d at IEM Dallas and stealing SSDs belonging to fellow professionals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zanzoul was detained by the Dallas Police Department after ESL identified him on their security footage. Despite being held at the precinct, no charges were pressed against him. Instead, ESL has issued a lifetime ban, effectively ending his professional involvement in CS2 esports.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zanzoul\u2019s actions were particularly egregious because the SSDs he stole contained critical information for top players like Jake \u2018Stewie2K\u2019 Yip, Nikola \u2018NiKo\u2019 Kova\u010d, and Guy \u2018NertZ\u2019 Iluz. These SSDs are used during tournaments to store players\u2019 in-game settings and other essential data to ensure competitive integrity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-66441\" src=\"https:\/\/skin.club\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-1.jpg\" alt=\"CS2 Pro Banned for Life by ESL \" width=\"940\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-1.jpg 940w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-1-300x153.jpg 300w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-1-768x392.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a subsequent interview with North American CS2 pro and streamer Collin \u201cCoJoMo\u201d Moren, Zanzoul admitted to the theft. He detailed his actions, explaining that he arrived at the tournament venue at 4 AM and streamed the theft live on Discord. Zanzoul claimed he was under the influence of marijuana at the time and dismissed his actions as \u201ctrolling.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When [the police] realized I was just a re**** doing reed things they didn\u2019t charge me or anything\u2026 It was f**** Discord trolling you know what I mean. It wasn\u2019t actually intentionally going over there to f* with people<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,\u201d he said during the stream.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite his claims, ESL\u2019s decision to ban Zanzoul was based on both the theft and his prior record of bans for behavioral issues both in and out of the server. Initially, he received a five-year ban, which was later made permanent due to the severity of his actions and his history.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adam \u201cnbgee12\u201d Zanzoul has been part of the North American CS2 scene since 2021. He was most recently seen as a stand-in for Elevate at the American RMR for the PGL Copenhagen Major. However, his career has been marred by previous disciplinary issues, including a recently reversed permanent ban for attempted match-fixing in FPL-C qualifiers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-66457\" src=\"https:\/\/skin.club\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"CS2 Pro Banned for Life by ESL \" width=\"940\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-2-1.jpg 940w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-2-1-300x153.jpg 300w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-2-1-768x392.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zanzoul\u2019s recent behavior has left many in the community questioning his future in esports. During his interview with Dust2.us, he expressed deep regret for his actions. \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Words cannot adequately express how humiliating and dejecting this has been. I am genuinely disgusted by my behavior and am committed to learning from this experience<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,\u201d he stated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While G2 Esports celebrated their victory at IEM Dallas on June 2, thanks to the help of stand-in Stewie2K, the spotlight has shifted to the controversy surrounding Zanzoul\u2019s actions. The community and fellow professionals have widely condemned his behavior, emphasizing the importance of integrity and sportsmanship in esports.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With his reputation severely tarnished and a lifetime ban from ESL and FACEIT, it is highly unlikely that Adam \u201cnbgee12\u201d Zanzoul will have another opportunity in the competitive CS2 scene. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of such actions and the importance of maintaining professionalism, both online and offline.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adam \u201cnbgee12\u201d Zanzoul, a 19-year-old Counter-Strike 2 professional from North America, has been permanently banned by ESL after being caught stealing SSDs at IEM Dallas.
