A HUGE blow to the integrity of esports.
Last week, our PUBG team placed 9th in the Last Chance Group Stage. As it turns out, one of the top 8 teams, Bushido, blatantly used in-game kill feed and coaching assistance – something that was clearly communicated as strictly forbidden.
A leaked YouTube video proves this without question.
You would think such behavior would lead to severe consequences. Instead, we’ve seen nothing but silence for 3 days and a complete lack of accountability.
We all strive for professionalism and integrity in esports. Once again, completely ignored.
Communication has been nothing short of disrespectful from
@ChulozN.
We have not received a single answer on why such clear evidence is not enough. All we receive is "The decision has been made, there is no evidence".
We have been loyal to PUBG for years, investing a lot of time and money - and that’s what we receive in return during challenging situations?
We’ve had to chase for answers, only to be told there's "no evidence" – despite the team literally recording their own POV, showing the rule break.
What more do you need?
We don’t know what’s happening behind the scenes, but this is a massive disappointment. Blast and Krafton need to take a hard look at the decisions being made from the
@Challengermode staff, especially
@ChulozN . Right now, it feels like there are people in charge who simply don’t understand what it takes to run a tournament with fairness and integrity.
This isn’t just a rule break – it’s a slap in the face to players, to organizations investing serious time and money, and to everyone who believes in fair competition.
We want to clarify: we know that
@PUBGEsports is providing a packed schedule and working very hard. We’re happy to support the game and have never had any issues in the past. But in this case, we had no choice but to go public — because we truly believe this is a major failure on the part of
@BLAST and
@Challengermode.
What kind of precedent does this set for future competition — that teams will get away with this?
We demand accountability.
