CEVO has confirmed that Sam "devour" Chamma and Yazan "clowN" Ammari have been banned from the league for cheating. The pair were banned from an incident in the CEVO Alienware Winter Frag Fest in which the leagues anti-cheat client, CMN detected cheats.

Chamma and Ammari have played for the team Optx since the demise of the CGS. Chamma is widely known for his incredible rookie performance with the former league under the Carolina Core franchise. Ammari is a veteran CSS player who became known as a member of the well known PowersGaming lineup that went on to become the San Francisco Optx.

Ammari declined to comment any further but did make a statement on the matter at complexitygaming.com. Ammari stated, "I would like to come clear about everything, YES, Devour and I did cheat simple as that." He went on to explain the duo were cheating in retaliation for what they believed to be cheating by the opposing team.

Optx were facing KeyboardSmashers in the finals of the CEVO Alienware Winter Frag Fest when Ammari specifically claims Andrew "Glockateer" Cook was suspicious and led the two to believe the team was cheating in the 13-11 loss to KBS. Ammari states, "I was basically fighting fire with fire, I know they were cheating and they know they were cheating, that’s the bottom line." The pair have been banned from CEVO for 12 months.
