PGL confirmed on March 6th, 2025, that ATOX has been banned from competing in their events due to a provisional suspension from ESIC. ATOX is also banned from the BLAST Open Lisbon tournament, with the suspension linked to an ongoing investigation. While ESIC has not revealed the specifics, it is rumored that ATOX is under investigation for suspected match-fixing during Season 20 of the ESL Pro League.

The investigation could take several weeks, according to Chinese Counter-Strike 2 commentator Yunqing ‘Searph‘ Hu. Organizers of future events involving ATOX have been made aware of the situation and are preparing for the possibility of the team being banned permanently. ESIC, which enforces integrity within esports, has a history of punishing misconduct.

In March, ESIC imposed a three-year ban on Ukrainian player Ilya ‘Ganginho‘ Chernychenko for violating betting and corruption rules. With the investigation into ATOX still ongoing, it remains uncertain how long they will be barred from competing in tournaments organized by ESIC members. If found guilty, ATOX could face a lengthy suspension, possibly lasting years, before returning to top-tier Counter-Strike esports.
