As a result of the match fixing, six players and NetCodeGuides owner Casey Foster were permanently banned from all future Valve-sponsored professional tournaments. The banned players were Pham, Boorn, and iBP players Sam "DaZeD" Marine, Joshua "steel" Nissan, Braxton "swag" Pierce and Keven "AZK" Larivière. Only one former iBP member, Tyler "Skadoodle" Latham, who was the only member of the squad to not accept the skins, was not banned by Valve. Valve's official release confirmed that "a substantial number of high valued items" were transferred from accounts owned by Pham to iBP players and Foster.

DaZed and steel would turn to streaming full time after their bans were handed out. Later, Cloud9 signed Skadoodle as its new AWPer, replacing ShahZaM on the team. Skadoodle also went on to win the ELEAGUE Boston Major 2018 and retired from competitive play on October 16, 2018. In addition, swag was signed by Cloud9 as its new analyst and streamer. AZK picked up Overwatch and was later signed by Team Liquid.

On August 1, 2017, ESL unbanned the players of iBUYPOWER, allowing them to play in all ESL Counter-Strike events except for those partnered with Valve, such as majors. DreamHack followed suit for its own events (except for Valve majors) on September 6, bringing itself in line with guidelines issued by the Esports Integrity Coalition.

On September 27, 2017, GX played its first league match in the ESEA Mountain Dew League (formerly Premier division), with ex-iBUYPOWER players swag, DaZed, and AZK, who had just left Team Liquid's Overwatch team to join his teammates, along with Matt "Pollo" Wilson and Michael "dapr" Gulino. steel joined Torqued to be on a team with his friends, including Armeen "a2z" Toussi, Trey "tck" Martin, Neil "montE" Montgomery, Sam "4sh0t" Mariano, and Carey "frozt' Kertenian. Steel was then signed on to Ghost Gaming along with Kenneth "koosta" Suen and Matt "Pollo" Wilson and was dropped alongside Ghost's entire Counter-Strike: Global Offensive roster on June 12, 2019.  DaZed would later leave GX after citing a lack of motivation playing and practicing; Shawn "witmer" Taylor replaced DaZed as the in-game leader on the team. On April 4, 2019, Braxton "swag" Pierce was signed alongside Michael "dapr" Gulino and the rest of the Swole Patrol roster under the Lazarus organisation.
