After an investigation into the matter and subsequent discussion with Valve, it was determined that PARIVISION had a permanently Valve-banned individual, Ivan Kochugov (F_1N), present during a live match in the recent EU Closed Qualifier A for the Shanghai Major EU RMR. Therefore, the following has been decided: 1) PARIVISION's eligibility in this Major cycle has been cancelled, and they are disqualified for the RMRs and any other portion of the Major. 2) The three teams with 2-3 records in the same EU Closed Qualifier A will be invited to play a BO3 cycle, using seeds as determined via their Buccholz scores. This is as follows: Match 1: KOI (seed 2) vs Monte (seed 3) - BO3 Match 2: Winner of Match 1 vs Bleed (seed 1) - BO3 The date for these matches will be determined soon. The winner of this will replace PARIVISION in the upcoming EU RMR. It should be noted that Valve bans are by default the highest priority eligibility-related ruleset in any official event, and when these bans are well-known and established beforehand, as was the case here, it is expected that all teams should follow these eligibility rules prior to any further participation in an official event. #ShanghaiMajor2024
