Update on DPC SEA Disqualifications and Bans:
During the recent DPC SEA Qualifiers, evidence shows that Team Orca players used Team Apex accounts to compete on their behalf. This is an unacceptable breach of competitive integrity from both teams.

“Ini adalah pelanggaran berat akan integritas kompetitif dari kedua tim,” tulis akun Twitter Beyond the Summit.
Team Orca pada awalnya lolos untuk berkompetisi di Divisi II DPC SEA 2021/22 First Tour dan menyelesaikan regular season di posisi ketiga. Mereka juga baru-baru ini menjuarai salah satu turnamen BTS yakni Pro Series Season 10 SEA dengan mengalahkan T1, Polaris Esports, dan Lilgun.
Sedangkan Team Apex hendak berkompetisi di DPC lewat kualifikasi terbuka.
BTS sebelumnya telah meluncurkan investigasi terpisah terhadap Orca dan menemukan bukti match-fixing (pengaturan skor) dalam BTS Pro Series dan turnamen-turnamen dari organisasi lain dalam setahun terakhir.
A separate investigation also uncovered evidence of match fixing by Team Orca in BTS Pro Series and other 3rd party tournaments throughout the past year.
A decision has been made to permanently ban everyone in Team Orca and Apex permanently from Valve events.

Salah satu pemain Orca, Cheng “v1Faded” Jia Hao mengaku bahwa beberapa pemain dari timnya memang “ambil bagian” dalam skandal sharing akun dengan Team Apex, namun ia membantah dirinya terlibat.
“Saya akan mencoba mengumpulkan informasi, dan semoga saja [bisa mengajukan] banding ke Valve bahwa saya tidak terlibat dan saya tidak bersalah akan match-fixing dan juga tuduhan akan sharing akun,” tulisnya.
However, I really have no idea with regards to uncovered evidence of match fixing. I will try to gather some information that I can and hopefully appeal to Valve that I have no involvement and innocent from matchfixing, as well as accusations of sharing accounts.
