A team of cheaters almost made it through ESL One Birmingham qualifiers after beating Fishman’s roster

Team IVY managed to get through the open WEU qualifiers for ESL One Birmingham 2026, but later was exposed for smurfing and using cheats. Before being removed from the qualifiers they even managed to beat OQ Enjoyers the team of Dmitry “Fishman” Polishchuk.

The tournament organizers quickly stepped in punished the rule violators and gave the win to OQ Enjoyers. If the rule violations were not noticed in time the cheaters would be literally two steps away from getting a slot in the closed qualifiers.

IVY roster:

• Casino Owner

• Mario

• Endry

• Hamelion3

• Anc Bby

Notably even after the match result was reviewed in the very next game Fishman team lost to their opponents and got eliminated from the qualifiers.
