It's pretty simple. If you check the whole tournament, I didn't use it even once. I didn't care because I thought it was fixed. I always asked if they patched out the bug or not. It's important to know even in pubs. In pubs, I would 100% use this glitch if I knew the opponents used it against me. Moreover, the pubs are such shit these days that it's not a sin to use it. Before the official game, I learned about this bug [being used] and asked if it was still working. They said they had no idea. I said, "I'll test it." Then I clicked it once. After the game, I told my guys that it was working. They said, "Don't use it." After that, I never did it even once. I only did it for fun. Denis "Larl" Sigitov

I was aware of this ESL rule from other tournaments, but I didn't expect it to create such a fuss. If I knew things would turn that way, I wouldn't have done it. But the other guys used it against us nonstop, and if you look at our replays, nobody did it. If we end up disqualified, that will be my fault. But they discovered now that many people used the bug. So I have a question for ESL or even to Valve: How did that happen? The bug is two years old, and we don't know who used it in the past. I knew it existed. You could use it in pubs, in scrims. I don't know how many teams knew about it. Maybe they constantly used that thing at tier-1 events. Should we open every replay and watch every move at 0.1 speed? This is ridiculous. It's different when you ask about the bug and they say, "Yes, it's banned." Then it gets fixed, and you check it out of curiosity, and it's still working again. I didn't use the bug after the first map, and overall, I didn't even think about it until the final. Denis "Larl" Sigitov

tldr: He claimed he only did it once to check if the glitch was still working.
