Shorten the bans for Sam "DaZeD" Marine, Braxton "swag" Pierce, Keven "AZK" Lariviere, Joshua "steel" Nissan and Derek "dboorN" Boorn to 1 year without the right to extend it.

The Issue

A few months ago, these players were involved in a betting scandal where they lost the match on purpose and bet against themselves. New evidence has been produced and they are now banned permanently from all majors and "indefinitely" from ESEA and CEVO. Faceit has also banned them for the season. 

Now I know that many of you feel the same way as me. These are some of North America's greatest players. To have their careers ended because of a match fixing scandal feels like too harsh of a punishment. Being banned for a year will be enough to teach them a lesson. On ESEA, cheaters only get banned for one year. If cheaters are given the chance to change, why not give these players a chance too? Sign this petition and give them another chance to redeem themselves.
