Underaged relationship leads to VALORANT Game Changers coach release

FENNEL Female, the women’s VALORANT roster competing in Game Changers under the Japanese FENNEL organization, has swiftly terminated the contract of coach “hanpipe” after confirming internally that the coach had an “inappropriate relationship with a minor woman.”

In a statement posted to the org’s Twitter account, and translated via a user on the competitive VALORANT subreddit and reported by Dexerto, FENNEL said that hanpipe admitted to the relationship after the organization confirmed the story, while also discovering that he had concealed the incident from FENNEL. As a result of the relationship and the efforts to conceal it, FENNEL made the decision to terminate the coach’s contract.
