Competitive Ruling: Jordy (Big Daddy)

Context:

Big Daddy player "Jordy" reached out to NoFreeWifi captain suggesting the possibility of exchanging scrim replays. Obtaining NoFreeWifi replays would have eventually helped Big Daddy in preparing their upcoming matches against a direct competitor.

Even if replays weren’t shared, players must understand that scrims are not to be leaked outside the two teams playing the training match.
Big Daddy agreed through their captain to enforce a zero-tolerance policy and monitor its players to avoid similar cases.

After a review, Jordy is being issued a 1-game (1 Bo3) suspension from the APAC League, to act as a warning.

Jordy will be eligible for the APAC League from the second match on October 6, 2018.
