In a recent development at ESL Pro League Season 20, Heroic faced repercussions for using the Snap Tap feature, which has been banned in the league. The controversy erupted after a delay in the first map of Heroic's match against NIP raised suspicions. ESL confirmed that a Heroic player was using Snap Tap, a technology available on specific Razer Huntsman V3 keyboards that enhances counter-strafing.

As a result, Heroic’s 13:10 map win was overturned, and NIP was awarded the victory. This incident marks the first significant case involving Snap Tap, leading to heightened scrutiny on player setups. It is expected that players will now be more vigilant in ensuring that such banned technologies are disabled, with some possibly opting to switch away from Razer keyboards to avoid similar issues in the future.
