Riot Games has made its decision regarding the problem faced in today’s match between T1 and TSM. Due to a violation of law, T1 forfeited against TSM.
Within the scope of 2022 Valorant tournaments organized by Riot games, T1 and TSM had a match in the morning. While the game was on, the coach of T1 gave instructions via written chat. Having done some detailed research on the issue, Riot Games decided that there was a breach of law placed in the rule book; hence, T1 was considered to forfeit.
T1 had recently announced its new Valorant squad. They encountered an unexpected parting from the 2022 season, which they had entered with great hopes. Continuing the VCT 2022: NA Stage 1 Challengers – Open Qualifier 1 events in the Losers phase, T1 said goodbye to the events. Besides, TSM became the opponent of Akrew team in the 3rd stage with the forfeit win.
While there is no clear information that the T1 team will receive another penal sanction, TSM continues on its way. Especially at the VCT 2022: NA Stage 1 Challengers – Open Qualifier 1 event, where there is great competition, the winners will be determined as of January 31st.
