emilio kicked out of Team Property after VAC Ban

Joel "emilio" Mako has been kicked out of Team Property after a VAC ban which disqualified the team from Fragbite Masters and banned Mako from all future events.

After a shocking VAC ban mid game between Team Property and HellRaisers on Joel "emilio" Mako, Team Property have made the decision to kick him out of the team. The team was given a 48 hour window to prove Mako's innocence through Valve, but was unable to.

We have investigated the cheating accusation made against Joel “emilio” Mako and found no way to prove his innocence. The claim he has made is a friend of his played on one of his smurf accounts which mail is linked to his main account. We have found no way to prove this to Valve. Thus we have decided to not pursue this matter further.

Team Property will never accept any form of cheating, we are in eSports for the long run and has been for the last four years. We understand you are angry and so are we this is because we put ourselves up to an incredibly high standard. We work with the teams all of our free hours so our players and teams can be up there with the worlds best and perform. This situation damages our momentum and things planned in the short term for the CS:GO team but we will continue to support CS:GO.” - Team Property official statement

Mako claims that he was lending an alternate account to a real life friend, and that the reason for his VAC ban was because the friend could have been hacking. He still retains that he is not a hacker. However, there is still no way to prove his innocence or guilt. 

I cant prove that my IRL friend is the one that have been cheating, and I know it’s retarded to even lend him the account in the first place. But to my excuse, I really didnt know that all your accounts gets banned if 1 gets affected. If I knew that I would never ever give him the account because I would never risk my career!” - Joel “emilio” Mako

In addition to getting kicked off the team, Mako has also been banned from all future Fragbite events. Team Property has been disqualified from this season, but Fragbite has yet to make a decision on the team for future events.

Fragbite Masters has been nothing but fair in this situation and we would like to extend our gratitude for their professional attitude in this matter. We hope we can participate in their upcoming leagues and tournaments.” - Team Property official statement.

Team Property has decided to keep their CS:GO team and are currently looking for a replacement for Mako to compete in future events.

Team Property will now have the following incomplete roster:

Marcus "zet" Sundstrom
Marcus "delpan" Larsson
Jimmy "jumpy" Berntsson
Christian "spitfire" Schiolde
