Player malware claims put XSE Pro League under scrutiny

BetBoom player Kirill “Magnojez” Rodnov has claimed that using a compromised PC at the XSE Pro League LAN in Guangzhou may have led to him losing access to his Steam account. The concern follows player reports that practice machines at the event contained spyware and trojan files.

According to the supplied report, Magnojez shared footage of an antivirus scan flagging malicious files on his setup, while teammate Aleksandr “zorte” Zagodyrenko said on Telegram that his PC included trojans as well as unrelated software such as a torrent client and a private World of Warcraft server client. The report also says the malware identified was described as a remote access trojan, though the exact forensic status has not been independently confirmed in the provided material.

The security concerns sit alongside wider operational complaints from the same event. The report describes match delays, broadcast errors, some PCs allegedly lacking CS2, and a power outage during 9z vs SINNERS after a transformer incident outside the venue.

For editors, the central issue is verification: the player accounts and visible antivirus claims are significant, but several details still rely on social posts or third-party reporting rather than an official tournament statement or published forensic review.
