Evidence Emerges: Hoon's "Honor of Kings" Challenge Confirms MSC 2025 Disqualification Cause

Following yesterday's bombshell announcement of Team S8UL's disqualification from the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Mid Season Cup (MSC) and Esports World Cup (EWC) 2025, new photographic and social media evidence has surfaced, seemingly confirming the precise nature of the rule violation that led to the drastic penalty.





As previously reported, the MSC 2025 Committee cited a breach of rules by S8UL members Jang "Hoon" Seong-Hun and Michael "Mobazane" Cosgun for their participation in an event related to a "competing mobile MOBA game." The newly available images and posts leave little doubt as to which game was involved: Honor of Kings (HoK).

The "Honor of Kings" Ranking Marathon and Pinoy Food Challenge

Pictures circulating online show Hoon deeply engaged in an "Honor of Kings 48HRS Ranking Marathon," as advertised in promotional materials featuring him as "Challenger: Hoon" with a goal of "RANK CHALLENGE TO GLOBAL 1." One screenshot clearly shows Hoon streaming HoK, with the title "SOLO RANKING CHALLENGE HOK" and a live chat visible.

Adding another layer to the story, a social media post from influencer Mara Aquino dated June 28 at 5:17 PM (PST, likely), explicitly mentions Hoon "completing his HOK 48hr Ranking Marathon with the new Rating System" and provides a YouTube link to his livestream.

Furthermore, a captivating image shows Hoon smiling excitedly alongside Mara Aquino, with text overlaying "P5000 HOK CHALLENGE" and a chat message from @missmaraaquino offering Hoon ₱5,000 to reach "Grandmaster" rank in HoK, promising to take him to "try Filipino food" at Jollibee. A subsequent image, posted by Mara Aquino with the caption "Thank you Honor of Kings for this great challenge, Hoon loved the food!" appears to confirm the successful completion of this challenge, showing Hoon and Aquino enjoying a meal together.

A Clear Violation of MLBB Rules

These pieces of evidence unequivocally demonstrate Hoon's active and public engagement with Honor of Kings, a direct competitor in the mobile MOBA genre. This directly corroborates the MSC 2025 Committee's statement regarding the violation of Section 2, Penalty Index B of the MSC Penalty Index, which prohibits team members from engaging in activities that give "competitor games' exposure."

While Mobazane's specific involvement in a competing title is yet to be publicly detailed through similar visual evidence, the committee's announcement stated both players were disqualified for the same reason. The committee had provided Team S8UL with opportunities to rectify the situation, but the team's decision to proceed ultimately led to their removal from the prestigious tournaments.

The implications for esports organizations and players are clear: cross-game participation, especially with direct competitors, carries severe consequences, particularly at the highest levels of competitive play. The MLBB community continues to react to this unprecedented event as Area 77 prepares to take S8UL's place at MSC 2025.

Breaking News: S8UL Disqualified from MSC 2025 and EWC 2025; Area 77 Steps In!

The Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) competitive landscape has been rocked by a major announcement from the MSC 2025 Committee. Team S8UL, the North American representatives for the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Mid Season Cup (MSC) at the 2025 Esports World Cup (EWC), has been officially disqualified from both prestigious tournaments.

The reason? A serious breach of the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Mid Season Cup Official Rules by two of their prominent members, Jang "Hoon" Seong-Hun and Michael "Mobazane" Cosgun.




The Violation: Competing in a Rival MOBA Title

According to the official announcement, Hoon and Mobazane were found to have participated in an event associated with a competing mobile multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) title. This directly violates Section 2, Penalty Index B of the MSC Penalty Index, which states that "a penalty will be imposed if a 'team member engages in any competitor games' event/ activity/ livestream or other way to give the competitor games' exposure. The competitor games are defined as mobile MOBA game."

The MSC 2025 Committee emphasized that they had extended multiple opportunities to Team S8UL to reconsider Hoon and Mobazane's participation in the competitor event to preserve the team's eligibility. However, despite these efforts, Team S8UL elected to proceed, ultimately leading to the disqualification of both players, effective immediately.

Roster Requirements and Disqualification

With Hoon and Mobazane suspended, Team S8UL is now unable to meet the tournament's minimum roster requirements. As per the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Mid Season Cup Official Rules:

  • Section 3.1.1.: Each team must have "at least 5 players ("starter") and 1 substitute player and 1 coach."

  • Section 5.2.3.: "Teams' player roster need to be the same as the team that qualified for MSC in MPL or local qualifications, unless there is a force majeure before the roster lock date that necessitates a change, such as a player's sudden illness or an accident that prevents them from coming to host country."

Given these rules, and without the ability to make roster changes or invoke force majeure in this situation, Team S8UL's continued participation became impossible.

Area 77 Steps Up!

In light of this development, the MSC 2025 Committee has announced that the slot will now be awarded to Area 77, the runner-up of the NACT Spring 2025. This decision is in accordance with the MSC 2025 Official Rules, ensuring that the tournament proceeds with integrity.

The MSC 2025 Committee expressed its appreciation for the MLBB esports community's understanding and continued support as they uphold the standards that define MLBB esports.

This is a stark reminder of the importance of adhering to official tournament rules and the commitment required from professional esports athletes and organizations. The community will undoubtedly be watching closely to see how Area 77 performs on the global stage.

LMTV.krammm's Top-Tier Granger Shines in June 15 Livestream, Supported by Stellar Teamwork!

Viewers and followers of LMTV Esports witnessed an unforgettable spectacle on Facebook today as LMTV.krammm delivered what could easily be dubbed their best Granger gameplay of the day. The livestream was ablaze with action, culminating in a decisive victory fueled by LMTV.krammm's incredible 21 kills, 3 deaths, and 24 assists. Achieving the coveted "Legendary" status for the 347th time, LMTV.krammm showcased mastery over the Death Chanter, but their brilliance was undeniably amplified by the outstanding contributions of their teammates.




While LMTV.krammm's pinpoint accuracy and devastating burst damage stole the spotlight, the foundation for their success was built upon exceptional teamwork. GOD.eliazar nali, playing with their signature prowess, secured the MVP title with a remarkable 22 kills, 3 deaths, and 19 assists. Their impactful plays and ability to control the flow of engagements as a Fighter were instrumental in creating openings for LMTV.krammm to thrive.

Equally crucial to the victory were the contributions of LMTV.jurein123, piloting the formidable Fighter Aldous. Their strategic use of Contract: Soul Steal to secure crucial stacks and their timely dives into the enemy backline disrupted formations and applied immense pressure. While their individual KDA might not fully reflect their impact, LMTV.jurein123's presence created space and absorbed crucial damage, allowing their Marksman to dish out consistent pain.




Rounding out the exceptional team performance was LORD.jhamgorg on the support hero Estes. Their unwavering dedication to keeping their teammates alive with Moonlight Immersion and Blessing of the Moonlight was the unsung hero of many crucial team fights. Timely heals and well-placed crowd control provided the sustain and protection needed for both LMTV.krammm and GOD.eliazar nali to execute their plays effectively. LORD.jhamgorg's selfless support was the glue that held the team together.

This match serves as a perfect illustration of how individual brilliance, exemplified by LMTV.krammm's Granger, when combined with exceptional teamwork and selfless play from the likes of GOD.eliazar nali, LMTV.jurein123 (Aldous), and LORD.jhamgorg (Estes), can lead to dominant victories in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. Aspiring players should take note of the synergy and coordination displayed in this memorable livestream. Congratulations to LMTV.krammm and the entire team for this phenomenal performance!

What's Brewing in the Land of Dawn? A Sneak Peek at Mobile Legends: Bang Bang's ALLSTAR 2025!

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) is at it again, teasing us with exciting new content! A recent post from their official Facebook page has set the community abuzz with a mysterious image hinting at significant changes coming to the Land of Dawn, particularly for the upcoming ALLSTAR 2025 event. Let's dive into what we've seen and what it might mean for the future of MLBB gameplay!


The Mysterious Creature and Its Impact on the Battlefield

The first thing that grabs your attention in the teaser image is the enormous, menacing eye dominating the top of the map, strongly resembling a dragon or some other colossal beast. This creature's "claws" seem to have left their mark directly on the battlefield, with visible indentations and altered terrain. The official MLBB post even states, "May nangyayaring misteryoso sa MLBB! Ang mga bakas ng kuko ng halimaw ay lumitaw sa lupa, at nagbago rin ang mga halaman!" (Something mysterious is happening in MLBB! The monster's claw marks have appeared on the ground, and the plants have also changed!).

This strongly suggests an environmental shift, perhaps tied to a new in-game event or even a permanent alteration to the classic 5v5 map. Could this be a new "boss" monster that influences the game? Or is it a new mechanic that reshapes the battlefield as the game progresses? The possibilities are thrilling!

Transformed Jungle Camps and New Objectives?

Circling the main map, we can clearly see several jungle camps that have undergone significant transformations. These familiar points of interest now sport a more primal, almost "dinosaur-like" aesthetic. The colors are darker, the textures are more rugged, and some even have glowing, organic elements. This visual overhaul isn't just cosmetic; it hints at potentially new mechanics for these camps.
Could we be looking at:

 * New Jungle Monsters: Perhaps these transformed camps house new types of jungle monsters with different abilities or buffs.

 * Enhanced Buffs: The buffs obtained from these camps might be more potent or have added effects.

 * Interactive Camps: Could certain camps now offer unique objectives or mini-events when defeated?

The inclusion of the hashtag
 #MLBBNewBattlefield and #MLBBNewGameplay further solidifies the idea that these changes are more than just visual.

The ALLSTAR 2025 Connection

The image prominently displays "ALLSTAR 2025," indicating that these changes are likely to be part of, or at least introduced around, the annual ALLSTAR event. This event often brings new game modes, skins, and significant updates to the game. It's a prime opportunity for Moonton to introduce large-scale changes and generate excitement.

The overall theme, with the massive creature and the altered landscape, also ties into the hashtag #MLBBALLSTAR and #MLBBALLSTARDINOPLANET, suggesting a potential "Dino Planet" theme for ALLSTAR 2025. Imagine battling in a prehistoric-themed Land of Dawn with new, monstrous creatures!

These teasers generate a lot of anticipation for MLBB players. New map mechanics, revamped jungle, and a fresh theme for ALLSTAR 2025 could inject a lot of excitement and strategic depth into the game. Players will likely need to adapt to new meta shifts, learn new jungle routes, and discover new ways to secure objectives.

It's clear that Mobile Legends: Bang Bang is gearing up for a significant update.

Keep an eye on their official channels for more announcements, as the Land of Dawn is about to get a whole lot wilder!
Meta Description: Get a sneak peek at Mobile Legends: Bang Bang's ALLSTAR 2025! Discover the mysterious creature, revamped jungle camps, and new map changes hinted at in the latest MLBB teaser.

The Next Frontier of Tactical FPS: Everything You Need to Know About Valorant Mobile

The tactical shooter landscape is about to undergo a seismic shift. For years, PC gamers have dominated the competitive world of Valorant, mastering agent abilities, precise gunplay, and intricate map strategies. Now, Riot Games is bringing that intense, high-stakes experience to your fingertips with Valorant Mobile.


This isn't just a simple port; it's a re-imagination designed from the ground up for mobile devices, promising to deliver the core Valorant experience while adapting it perfectly for on-the-go play. If you're a fan of competitive gaming, or just looking for your next mobile obsession, here's why Valorant Mobile is set to redefine what's possible on a smartphone.




Why Valorant Mobile is a Game-Changer

Valorant Mobile isn't merely a smaller version of its PC counterpart. Riot Games, in collaboration with Lightspeed Studios, has focused on optimizing every aspect for the mobile platform, ensuring a seamless and engaging experience.

 * Optimized Controls for Touchscreens: Expect intuitive and customizable HUDs that allow you to place controls exactly where you need them. Riot has prioritized making movement, shooting, and ability usage feel natural and responsive on a touchscreen.

 * Shorter, Punchier Matches: To cater to the mobile gaming audience, Valorant Mobile matches are reportedly shorter than the PC version, requiring fewer rounds to win. This means you can get your tactical fix in quick bursts, perfect for commutes or short breaks.

 * Dedicated Mobile Features: Leaks and official announcements suggest exciting mobile-exclusive features. These include a built-in replay system (a feature highly requested for PC!), an advanced training ground with high-skill AI, and even a "popularity system" where players can upload clips and gain recognition. Some reports even indicate unique skins and battle passes specifically for the mobile version.

 * True to the Core Valorant Experience: Despite the adaptations, the essence of Valorant remains. You'll still find the familiar 5v5 tactical gameplay, unique agent abilities, diverse weapon arsenal, and the strategic depth that defines the game. The anti-cheat system will also be robust, ensuring fair play for everyone.

 * Esports Potential: With the rapid growth of mobile esports, Valorant Mobile is poised to become a major player. Riot has already announced plans for official tournaments and a ranked matchmaking system, hinting at a thriving competitive ecosystem on mobile. China, where pre-registrations and beta tests are already underway, is even hosting the game's first official tournament.

What We Know So Far: Release, Beta, and Beyond

Valorant Mobile has been in active development since 2021, and the anticipation has been palpable. While a precise global release date is still under wraps, here's what we know:

 * Current Status: Closed beta testing is currently live in China. Players with selected QQ accounts are getting a first look at the game.

 * Pre-registration: Pre-registrations for Valorant Mobile are now available in China, with a broader rollout expected in the coming months.

 * Expected Release: Industry analysts and official statements suggest a phased global release throughout 2025, with some regions potentially seeing beta access earlier. China's official launch is anticipated around November 2025.

 * Development Partnership: Riot Games is collaborating with Lightspeed Studios (a subsidiary of Tencent Games), known for their expertise in mobile game development, to bring Valorant to life on smartphones.

Staying Ahead of the Game: Tips for Aspiring Mobile Agents
As Valorant Mobile gears up for its global launch, here are some tips to get ready:

 * Stay Updated: Follow official Riot Games and Valorant Mobile social media channels and news outlets for the latest announcements, beta sign-ups, and release information.

 * Practice Your Fundamentals: If you're new to tactical shooters, consider practicing your aim and movement in other mobile FPS titles. While Valorant Mobile will have its own feel, good fundamentals will always translate.

 * Team Up: Valorant is a team-based game. Start building your squad now and strategize on how you'll conquer the mobile battlefield together!

Valorant Mobile is more than just a new game; it's a testament to the evolving landscape of competitive gaming.
