This includes both the group stage and the anticipated Spring Finals, which should have elected the regional representative for the Mid-Season Invitational. The decision was made by the league\u2019s organizers due to an ongoing investigation into teams participating in the Vietnamese league, indicating a breach of competitive integrity. Acknowledging the impact of this decision on players, teams, and fans, the organizers emphasized their commitment to transparency in the VCS and stated that they \u201cabsolutely will not tolerate any actions that affect the competitive integrity\u201d of the league.\u00a0 At the time of writing this article, it remains unclear why the investigation is being conducted and which specific teams are under scrutiny. All remaining matches of the group stage will be canceled and results from Thursday, March 14, \u201cwill not be counted\u201d on the tournament standings. The group stage rankings will be calculated based on the results until the end of Week 7, which concluded on March 10. These rankings will determine the teams participating in the playoffs, and possibly the teams who will play during the Spring Finals. This isn't the first time the VCS has dealt with issues related to competitive integrity. In August 2023, SBTC Esports faced a ban from participating in the league due to significant breaches of regulations. The league's decision to disqualify SBTC from all VCS tournaments and forbid them from selling their league spot stemmed from \u201ca serious violation of the regulations,\u201d as the organizers stated on their Facebook page. More information and updates are expected to be provided as VCS organizers move forward with the investigation and address the breach of competitive integrity ahead of the first international event of the League season.\u00a0","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/vcs-image.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1167457"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2012"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1167457"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1167457\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1167616,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1167457\/revisions\/1167616"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1167491"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1167457"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1167457"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1167457"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1167457"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1167457"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1167457"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1167457"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

This includes both the group stage and the anticipated Spring Finals, which should have elected the regional representative for the Mid-Season Invitational. The decision was made by the league\u2019s organizers due to an ongoing investigation into teams participating in the Vietnamese league, indicating a breach of competitive integrity. Acknowledging the impact of this decision on players, teams, and fans, the organizers emphasized their commitment to transparency in the VCS and stated that they \u201cabsolutely will not tolerate any actions that affect the competitive integrity\u201d of the league.\u00a0 At the time of writing this article, it remains unclear why the investigation is being conducted and which specific teams are under scrutiny. All remaining matches of the group stage will be canceled and results from Thursday, March 14, \u201cwill not be counted\u201d on the tournament standings. The group stage rankings will be calculated based on the results until the end of Week 7, which concluded on March 10. These rankings will determine the teams participating in the playoffs, and possibly the teams who will play during the Spring Finals. This isn't the first time the VCS has dealt with issues related to competitive integrity. In August 2023, SBTC Esports faced a ban from participating in the league due to significant breaches of regulations. The league's decision to disqualify SBTC from all VCS tournaments and forbid them from selling their league spot stemmed from \u201ca serious violation of the regulations,\u201d as the organizers stated on their Facebook page. More information and updates are expected to be provided as VCS organizers move forward with the investigation and address the breach of competitive integrity ahead of the first international event of the League season.\u00a0","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/vcs-image.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1167457"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2012"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1167457"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1167457\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1167616,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1167457\/revisions\/1167616"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1167491"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1167457"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1167457"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1167457"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1167457"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1167457"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1167457"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1167457"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
