Team Ambition expelled player and coach from LoL roster due to scandal
Luis 'Rey' Lagunes announced on his Twitter account that Vincent 'Anticipation' Filosa and team coach Naomi 'Chocovanille' Fontaine were removed from the League of Legends roster after they were seen boosting their League of Legends accounts. A video confirming the information appeared on the channel of streamer Tyler 'Tyler1' Steinkamp.
Later, the esports club made an official announcement regarding this event:We at Team Ambition do not condone the act of wintrading and have removed Anticipation and Chocovanille from our organization.
Back in january, Anticipation ahad tried out for a Team Ambitiion team and disclosed that he did play on a smurf with his girlfriend, Chocovanille. When he joined, he was told of the rules for playing under Team Ambition and then was monitored. In the middle of march, a warning was issued when Team Ambition noticed signs of duo boosting on his account. After the warning, he finished out the UPL Split with Team Ambition and then left. Team Ambition had no contact with him after this point. He later came back and tried out for Team Ambition again in june and was accepted as the starting jungler for Team Ambition Sussy, with chocovanille also being brought on as the manager of that roster. They were again informed of the rules and were issue a blanket warning regarding their prior behaviour. When Team Ambition asked for all of the accounts that they posessed, the account 'R5 Jungle' was never listed.
Neither person will be accepted back into Team Ambition under any circumstance.
We Failed to properly vet the LoL accounts of Chocovanilles and failed to monitor the accounts of our players. We at Team Ambition understand that this makes the amateur scene hard to take seriously, and accept full responsibility for this. We will do better in terms of properly vetting every relevant aspect of prospective players and support staff to ensure that this does not happen again.
We thank you for your understanding and continued support. Competitive integrity will always be our highest priority, and we will work towards bettering ourselves.
With the departure of Anticipation and Chocovanille, Team Ambition's League of Legends roster looks like this:
- Bilal 'Crimson' Shoura
- Mathieu 'Matty' Breton
- Cedric 'DNA' Bealier
- Jeremiah 'ScaryJerry' Leate
- Christopher 'Teesum' Fong
