William “Requiem” Hutchinson, one of the top Rocket League<\/a> players in the Oceanic region has been permanently banned from any and all Psyonix-operated events effective immediately for a death threat, his use of hate speech and racial slurs in a Discord chat.<\/p>\n The log leaked by Eli “eli” C. in a tweet<\/a> came to Rocket League\/Psyonix Senior Community Manager, Devin Connors’ notice who stated<\/a> they were “looking into this.”<\/p>\n This incident also involved another prolific OCE pro in multi-time regional champion Alex “Decka” Tsoutsouras who faces a two-season ban for his use of homophobic slurs.<\/p>\n Four days later, the ruling<\/a> was made official by Rocket League Esports Manager Murty “Scheist” Shah over on the video game’s subreddit.<\/p>\n “After a thorough investigation, we have determined that two players repeatedly engaged in harassment towards other players that directly violates the Code of Conduct”, the ruling read.<\/p>\n Neither Decka nor Requiem played for their teams in yesterday’s OCE Regional #2, both being replaced by their subs in the Swiss Stage where Wildcard Gaming and Grogans were eliminated with 1-3 records.<\/p>\n While it was first speculated that the leak was caused by a qualifier match that took an ugly turn, it was later revealed to GINX’s Rocket League source, 33 Boost, that the chat took place in December 2019<\/a> in a now-deleted Discord server.<\/p>\n Since the leak, Requiem deactivated his Twitter account and Decka protected his, making it private and follow-request only, previously bashing people who came at others with their past mistakes.<\/p>\n This isn’t the first time RLCS organisers hand out hefty bans as they handed two pros a six-month ban<\/a> and a one-year ban<\/a> in the last 12 months for Code of Conduct violations both in Discord and in-game.<\/p>\n Requiem’s teammates Bailey “Mock” Bedford, Aidan “zenulous” Hui and Tai “Shorez” Kibble are yet to comment on the matter at the time of publication. <\/p>\n Wildcard Gaming, NA org that reentered Rocket League by signing Decka<\/a> and his squad, is yet to comment on the matter at the time of publication. We’ll keep you updated as the situation develops.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Make sure to follow us at @33Boost<\/a> on Twitter for more news, content and giveaways and check out our dedicated Rocket League GINX TV section<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Feature image courtesy of Twitter.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" William “Requiem” Hutchinson, one of the top Rocket League players in the Oceanic region has been permanently banned from any and all Psyonix-operated events effective…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10537,"featured_media":23886,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23885","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-rocket-league","genre-sports-game","content_type-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n\n
