Counter-Strike Coaching Bug Scandal
The ''Counter-Strike'' coaching bug scandal is an ongoing bug abuse scandal in the game '' Counter-Strike: Global Offensive''. The bug had three variants, all of which allowed team coaches to see parts of the map they normally would not have access to and gather information about the enemy team. It was first made public on 26 August 2020 by Wisła Kraków coach Mariusz "Loord" Cybulski. Five days later, three coaches were banned by Esports Integrity Commission (ESIC) for exploiting the bug. ESIC launched an investigation on 4 September and on 28 September, ESIC banned a further 34 coaches after reviewing 20% of the demos. On 5 May 2022, ESIC announced that almost 100 coaches were going to be sanctioned as they neared the completion of the final investigation. Valve Corporation, the developer of the game, announced on 26 August 2020 that they had fixed the bug, however a coach was still able to recreate it on 15 May 2021.

Software Bug
A software bug is an error, flaw or fault in the design, development, or operation of computer software that causes it to produce an incorrect or unexpected result, or to behave in unintended ways. The process of finding and correcting bugs is termed " debugging" and often uses formal techniques or tools to pinpoint bugs. Since the 1950s, some computer systems have been designed to deter, detect or auto-correct various computer bugs during operations. Bugs in software can arise from mistakes and errors made in interpreting and extracting users' requirements, planning a program's design, writing its source code, and from interaction with humans, hardware and programs, such as operating systems or libraries. A program with many, or serious, bugs is often described as ''buggy''. Bugs can trigger errors that may have ripple effects. The effects of bugs may be subtle, such as unintended text formatting, through to more obvious effects such as causing a program to crash, freezing th ...

Video Game Controversies
Video game controversies refers to a wide range of debates on the social effects of video games on players and broader society, as well as debates within the video game industry. Since the early 2000s, advocates of video games have emphasized their use as an expressive medium, arguing for their protection under the laws governing freedom of speech and also as an educational tool. Detractors argue that video games are harmful and therefore should be subject to legislative oversight and restrictions.

Academic research has examined the links between video games and addiction, aggression, violence, social development, and a variety of stereotyping and sexual morality issues.

Counter-Strike Match Fixing Scandal
The ''Counter-Strike'' match fixing scandal was a match fixing scandal involving two professional '' Counter-Strike: Global Offensive'' (''CS:GO'') teams, iBUYPOWER and NetCodeGuides, which resulted in the banning of 4 North American players by Valve after an expository article by esports journalist Richard Lewis. The scandal has been cited as "the first large match fixing scandal" in the ''CS:GO'' community. Scandal iBUYPOWER and NetCodeGuides met in an August 20, 2014 match during the CEVO Professional Season 5. iBUYPOWER (iBP) was heavily favored to win the match, but instead lost resoundingly, 16 to 4. What attracted attention at the time of the match was the strange strategies by iBuyPower: they attempted knife kills at odd times and seemed displeased that their tactics failed. Contemporary analyses blamed travel issues—the team had just played at ESL One Cologne 2014—and unfamiliarity with the map.
