MSC Committee Penalizes See You Soon
The MSC Committee has concluded its investigation into the incident between
See You Soon and Selangor Red Giants. As a result, the Cambodian
team, See You Soon, has been fined $2,000 USD and their match against the MPL
Malaysia champions has been forfeited, resulting in a loss.
Additionally, See You Soon’s analyst, PARAGON, and coach, CatGod, have been
suspended for four matches in MSC 2024. They are also barred from attending
the venue during the team's matches in the tournament. In response, the
Cambodia Esports Federation released a statement opposing the MSC Committee's
decision and demanded detailed evidence of the incident be provided to both
See You Soon and the federation.
Cambodia Esports Federation Quote
"The Esports Federation Cambodia opposes the announcement of the 2024 Mobile
Legends: Bang Bang Mid Season Cup (MSC) Organizing Committee in Riyadh,
Saudi Arabia, on Friday night, July 5.2024 on the penalty for the Cambodian
esports team See You Soon (SYS), competing in the above event, regarding the
game problem (Bug) that occurred during the Ban-Pick.”
“The Organizing Committee and the Esports Federation Cambodia can monitor
and review together on this case. In case of unclear evidence, the
Organizing Committee (MSC) should drop the charges to ensure fair play
principles."
The incident occurred on the first day of the MSC 2024 Group Stage, when See
You Soon selected Lapu-Lapu and Yu Zhong as their final picks. They requested
a redraft, claiming it was due to a bug, and intended to choose Edith and Yu
Zhong instead. What should have been a brief restart turned into a one-hour
delay, with the match ending in a 1-1 draw. [no_toc]
The following day, the MSC Committee announced an investigation into the
incident, citing irregularities, and subsequently issued the penalties.
