Today, leading esports club Team Vitality has won the Intel Extreme Masters (IEM) Cologne 2024 at the LANXESS Arena, becoming the first French team in history to take home the iconic trophy. MVP ZywOo guided the world-class roster to an outstanding victory in Cologne, following commanding displays in the Group Stage and Playoffs, and an unforgettable performance in the Grand Final against NAVI.

SETTING THE STAGE FOR CONTROL UNTIL THE VICTORY

The formidable roster of Dan ‘apEX’ Madesclaire, Mathieu ‘ZywOo‘ Herbaut, Lotan ‘Spinx’ Giladi, Shahar ‘flameZ’ Shushan’, and William ‘mezii’ Merriman put on a brilliant performance throughout the tournament, beating other top teams. The victory was particularly memorable for players apEX and ZywOo, becoming the first to lift the trophy for France.

A battle for the ages, the Grand Final was a thrilling display of poise and tenacity, with Team Vitality taking the best-of-5 series 3-2. One of the most exciting finals in recent memory saw map 3 go into triple overtime, before Team Vitality secured a decisive 13-9 victory on Inferno to take home the trophy.

TEAM VITALITY CONTINUES TO WRITE ITS LEGEND

The victory in Cologne marks the organisation’s first major tournament title of the year. By beating NAVI on Sunday, Team Vitality clinched first place at IEM Cologne, one of the most prestigious tournaments in the Counter-Strike calendar. It’s an unprecedented feat, never before achieved by a French club or a French player.

Fabien Devide, President of Team Vitality said “This victory highlights the hard work and mental strength of our entire team. It’s even better because it’s historic for French esports and our club. We look forward to building on this momentum for the rest of the year.”

Moving into the latter stages of 2024, this tournament win puts Team Vitality into the driving seat going into major tournaments. With ESL Pro League Season 20 and BLAST Premier: Fall Finals on the horizon, IEM Rio 2024 shortly after and the Perfect World Shanghai Major closing out the year.

Three Nigerian Tennis Players Suspended Under Tennis Anti-Corruption Programme

Published

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) has confirmed that three Nigerian tennis players have been sanctioned for breaches of the Tennis Anti-Corruption Programme (TACP).

The sanctions are linked to a criminal case heard in 2023 involving a match-fixing syndicate in Belgium. Collaboration between the ITIA and Belgian authorities led to a five-year custodial sentence for the leader of the syndicate, Grigor Sargsyan.

The three players’ cases were ruled on by independent Anti-Corruption Hearing Officer (AHO) Amani Khalifa.

35-year-old Henry Atseye, who reached a career-high world singles ranking of 1518 in September 2015, admitted to six breaches of the TACP across 2017 and 2018. The player admitted to collaborating with Karim Hossam (who was issued a lifetime ban in 2018) to commit corruption offenses, including facilitating wagering and contriving the outcome of three matches.

Atseye was issued a suspension of two years and six months, alongside a fine of $10,000. The suspension began on 14 October 2024, and will end on 13 April 2027.

Sylvester Emmanuel and Christian Paul did not respond to ITIA charges, effectively accepting liability and acceding to sanctions, as outlined under section G.1.e of the TACP.

26-year-old Emmanuel, who reached a career-high world singles ranking of 1097 in December 2016, and 29-year-old Paul, who reached a career-high world singles ranking of 1257 in May 2016, were found liable for six breaches of the TACP across 2017 and 2018 – including facilitating wagering, contriving the outcome of matches, receipt of money and failure to report corrupt approaches.

Emmanuel and Paul were issued suspensions of three years, alongside fines of $10,000. The suspensions began on 6 November 2024, and will end on 5 November 2027.

During their periods of ineligibility, the players are prohibited from playing in, coaching at, or attending any tennis event authorised or sanctioned by the members of the ITIA (ATP, ITF, WTA, Tennis Australia, Fédération Française de Tennis Wimbledon and USTA) or any national association.

The ITIA is an independent body established by its tennis members to promote, encourage, enhance and safeguard the integrity of professional tennis events worldwide.
