ESL Pro League’s Executive Board concluded the investigation of Astralis for conflict of interest. According to release "That investigation has now concluded. It found that Astralis asked for and received services from a future employee between April and July 2021, which created a Conflict of Interest as that party held a position of authority within a competitor team. It did not report this to league authorities and the competing team itself. This was found to be a breach of the regulations of the Louvre Agreement. Other claims were investigated in this process, however no other breaches were identified. Astralis is fined a grand total of USD 100,000 for maintaining and not reporting an existing conflict of interest. This total includes legal and procedural fees. The independent inquiry found that no competition or match results were impacted, which the Executive Board wishes to place on record."
