T1 eliminated from VCT Open Qualifier One after Riot ruling for ‘unauthorized communication’

Riot Games ruled against T1 today due to “unauthorized communication” during yesterday’s match against TSM for the VCT Open Qualifier One. The ruling resulted in T1’s elimination from the VALORANT competition, but they can climb back during the next Open Qualifier.

The ruling states T1 “will forfeit their match” after the competitive operations team received “evidence of a T1 coach providing instruction to T1 players while their match against TSM was in place,” violating the rules that forbid players and non-players from communicating outside of pauses. The decision also results in T1’s elimination, as per the statement.
