Official Statement | K0LD Esports

We would like to address the recent accusations labeling K0LD Esports as a “scam organization” following the events of our recent Switch Tournament.

During the tournament, information was brought to our attention regarding a participating player who had been identified in Discord servers associated with cheating. Additionally, concerns were raised by members of the community regarding allegations of this individual’s past involvement in cheating.

We want to make one thing absolutely clear: K0LD Esports does not tolerate cheating under any circumstances.

We acknowledge that we did not require a PC check or monitor camera from the individual in question. While the information raised legitimate concerns, we also recognize the importance of distinguishing allegations and past behavior from verified evidence of cheating during our event.

Looking back, we understand that additional verification measures could have helped address these concerns and provided greater confidence in the tournament’s competitive integrity.

As an organization, we take responsibility for our tournament procedures and recognize that there is always room for improvement.

However, we firmly disagree with the characterization of K0LD Esports as a scam organization. Our goal has always been to provide competitive opportunities and a fair environment for the Call of Duty community.

We are committed to learning from this situation, strengthening our tournament policies, and ensuring that concerns surrounding competitive integrity are handled appropriately moving forward.

We will take accountability where it is warranted, but we will not compromise our values or our commitment to fair competition.

— K0LD Esports Management
