After careful review of several hours of footage, the admin team has come to the conclusion that the player April has cheated in the Grand Open Tournament beyond reasonable doubt. Specifically, it appears that April was using some sort of toggle aim assist. The evidence against April was mainly taken from the FPOV that was submitted during the Grand Open Tournament, and was reviewed by multiple trusted players from different teams and backgrounds.
Because of this, all of April’s records and April’s team records will be stricken and a sanction of a permanent ban from all League activities will be applied. Cheating and violation of game integrity is one of the most egregious offenses one can commit in a competitive league, so the sanction must be proportionate to this. It is unfortunate that this decision had to be reached, but we must ensure a level playing field for all players.

Because of this, all teams April was a part of will be stricken from the Hall of Fame for each respective tournament April participated in. We truly hope something like this will never happen again.
