FACTS

Manu “Shizoli” Bansal participated on the roster of a Ranked 5s ladder team that qualified for the Spring Challenger Series Qualifiers. During the rigorous vetting process that all players seeking to participate in the Challenger Series go through, it came to light that Bansal has been demonstrating excessively toxic in-game behavior. This behavior included, but was not limited to, in-game harassment, verbal abuse, and continual use of racial slurs.

Over the lifetime of his account, 65% of the reports his account received were for Verbal Abuse, Negative Attitude, and Offensive Language. He has been consistently receiving chat restrictions since March with no indication of reform.
