9Pandas were penalized for violations at The International 2023

Team 9 Pandas has been fined with a level three penalty for being late to the makeup session during one of The International 2023 media days.

This was reported on the club's official Telegram channel.

"While we believe that a level two penalty would have been appropriate, this decision was made in conjunction with Valve, and we will not contest it"

Following this incident, the team lost 110 seconds of bonus draft time in the next match.

Earlier, streamer Yaroslav "NS" Kuznetsov stated that Aldar "Jamba" Dzhambinov, the manager of 9 Pandas, should be grateful for the conditions of TI12. He believes that Jamba is asking for too much and does not appreciate the gifts from Valve.
