Recently, Riot announced a penalty for T1 after discovering the “illegal communication” in the match against Team Solomid on the morning of the day (January 30) in the first North American qualifying round of VCT 2022. By law, T1 was removed from the tournament without appeal. However, T1 still has the opportunity to “redo” in the 2nd qualifying round – starting on February 4.
2 days since the incident, T1 has officially announced the dismissal of David Denis:
“T1 carefully reviewed the activities taking place this weekend at the Valorant Champions Tour qualifying round. We would like to express regret for violating the rules of communication outside the suspension time. Before this violation, T1 will suspend the head coach David Denis in the weekend match. As a company, T1 is proud of nurturing the players and the coach. The second type and we are extremely expected. “
In the match against TSM, Riot canceled the match as soon as he received “evidence that coach T1 is guiding the players during the competition”. This behavior violated the rule of “banning all the players and members of the team communicating with each other when pausing the match”.
After losing before 2-0, TSM Yassine “Subroza” Taufik said, “A coach reported information and may have talked to (T1) in the middle of the match.” After consideration, Riot tried to win for TSM to ensure objectivity at the VCT tournament system.
