Eternal Fire player imoRR detained in Turkey in gambling promotion investigation

Longtime CS veteran Ömer "⁠imoRR⁠" Karataş, as well as the other influencers, were arrested and charged with promoting and profiting from a gambling service.

The arrests follow an investigation from Istanbul's Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau into the accused parties' use of a website called Key Drop.

Users open cases on the website, which can then be converted into real money. Turkish laws strictly forbid the promotion of and profiting from gambling websites. A case with imoRR's name on it can be found on the website, and it is described as a case created in collaboration with the player. imoRR also made a post on X about Key Drop back in 2024.

imoRR originally joined Eternal Fire in 2021 and was benched from the active roster in 2023. He transitioned to a content creator role until he was moved back into the active roster following the transfer of the organization's team to Aurora.

Eternal Fire posted on X and stated that imoRR has been released from custody to await trial.
