Competition is imperfect. Conditions can be inconsistent and adapting to unforeseen challenges and circumstances is part of competing. That being said, I unequivocally stand in support of our players in denouncing the conditions of this VCL Americas LCQ. Regardless of the outcome, this series was egregiously beyond the threshold of acceptable standards for competition. From network, to rulings, to on-site conduct -- it was simply inexcusable. SR loves VALORANT. We've been here since the beginning and we will continue to be. I value our relationship with Riot Games as one of the premier supporters of esports globally, but that doesn't excuse accountability when there is a failure to meet the standards these competitors deserve. I'm sorry to players of both teams for the circumstances surrounding what should have been an excellent grand finals. We'll be following up privately in an effort to hopefully improve these issues for the future.
