Azure Ray player violated tournament rules: organizers accused of double standards

During an official Clavision League Snow Ruyi match, Azure Ray Yui “Siamese.C” Yajun violated tournament rules by streaming a game on his screen. Hence, his team was given a 70-second penalty during draft phase of their next match against Talon Esports.

However, the Reddit community, where this moment was posted, could not believe its eyes and blamed the organizers for showing double standards.

Users noted that something similar happened in another BetBoom Team versus Azure Ray encounter when Ivan “Pure” Moskalenko also watched a stream. Then again, the consequences were much more severe as Pure’s team suffered a technical defeat because of player’s actions.

Commentators expressed dissatisfaction that Siamese.C faced only a 70-second draft penalty for the same offense. Nevertheless, some defended the organizers' decision for the Clavision League Snow Ruyi tournament, noting that the situations were different, as Pure was watching a Dota 2 stream while Siamese.C was watching a CS2 stream.

Neither the player nor the team have commented on the situation, and the tournament organizers have not provided further clarification on their decision.
