After careful consideration we are announcing the following decisions concerning the as of yet uncompleted Go4R6 Europe #12. This has impacts on the bracket and the matches still to be played.







Disqualification of inTeam (formerly Empathy) The player Unnamed_Yet played in the tournament despite not being eligible for participation due to having a standing ban for cheating in Rainbow 6: Siege by Ubisoft. Players with FairFight bans for Rainbow 6, or similar cheating bans issued by Ubisoft, are not allowed to participate in any ESL league or tournament that is supported directly by Ubisoft.



Our ruling is the following:



- The player Unnamed_Yet receives a 6 month ESL-wide ban (across all games and competitions) for knowingly circumventing our eligibility rule.

- The player Unnamed_Yet has not been, is not, and will not be allowed to participate in any Rainbow 6: Siege Go4, Pro League or any qualifiers associated with them for as long as his Ubisoft-side cheating ban stands.

- The team is disqualified from Go4R6 Europe #12.

- The team's first opponent in the tournament from Round 2 (Team blablabla) retro-actively receives a default win. This arm of the bracket will be replayed from Ro16 onwards, starting with the match of blablabla vs Playing Ducks, the winner of which will face Yummi Pepperonis, and the winner of that match facing Momentum in the semi finals.

- All players who were a member of the team on the original date of the tournament will be excluded from participating in Go4 tournaments until end of May.

- The team account additionally receives 6 ESL Penalty Points.



Cheating ban for player of HelioN eSports We find the player snooken to be guilty of manipulating the mandatory anti-cheat tool MOSS in his matches against FENIX and Yunktis. The manipulation of the tool in this case prevented us to look closer into cheating allegations against the player, making a ruling on whether he did in fact cheat impossible. Interfering with ESL anti-cheat tools is penalized the same way as actual cheating.



Our ruling is the following:



- The ruling made in the match protest of the Round of 8 match between Fenix and HelioN eSports gets overturned.

- The player snooken receives 12 ESL Penalty Points and the associated 2 year cheating ban across all ESL games and competitions for manipulating MOSS in the match against FENIX.

- The team HelioN eSports receives 6 ESL Penalty Points and a default loss for the match against FENIX.

- All players who were a member of the team on the original date of the tournament will be excluded from participating in Go4 tournaments until end of May.

- The already played out semi-final between HelioN and Yunktis, currently in protest, will be annulled.

- Having been awarded a default win in the Round of 8, FENIX will advance to the semi-finals and play against Yunktis.



We will get in touch with the affected teams who need to re-play matches, in order to complete the tournament before Go4R6 #13 this Sunday. For this purpose, the



Rule changes effective immediately In light of recent events, we are tightening our rules around the use of MOSS.



1) Upload of MOSS files of all players in the winning team in all matches that mandate the use of MOSS is now mandatory. Files need to be uploaded within 10 minutes after submitting the match result. Failure to do so will result in disqualification. We encourage teams in tournaments to ensure their opponents have uploaded the MOSS files from the previous round of the tournament before starting the next match.



2) Warnings for incomplete or defective MOSS files will now only expire after 3 months (previously 14 days). Incidents after the first warning will continue to be punished with 3 penalty points for the team and player, as well as a default loss in that match.
