@riotgames We'll keep calling you out for attacking people's hardware. We'll continue lighting you up until you are rightfully taken to court for all the damage you have caused. Like these devices or not, they are legal to own and use. Your TOS does not protect from property damage.

Well, that escalated quickly. There’s been a wave of claims by cheaters about Vanguard “bricking” their PCs, so let’s clear that up: Vanguard does not damage hardware or disable your devices. The photo we posted is a picture of cheat hardware devices that are sold explicitly for cheating in VALORANT (not normal PCs or PC components). Through our latest updates, Vanguard now makes those devices worthless for VAL, but does not in any way brick PCs or PC components or PC software. Our latest update enforces standard platform security features, like the Input-Output Memory Management Unit (IOMMU), on accounts identified as using Direct Memory Access (DMA) cheating devices. These protections are already part of modern systems and when enabled, they block DMA cheat devices (such as those shown in the photo) from accessing memory in downstream applications, like our games. If a cheat setup continues attempting to cheat after those protections are enabled, the system may generate hardware faults or instability. This is expected behavior under IOMMU when attempts are made to read protected memory. Disabling IOMMU allows the cheat device to function again, but IOMMU will still be required to play our games. This means the cheat device won’t work with our games, but your PC isn’t “bricked.” We would not, and cannot, impact your PC’s functionality in any other fashion. This functionality only applies to systems attempting to use DMA cheat devices, and players who are not using DMA-based cheat setups are not affected. We’ll keep investing in anti-cheat to protect competitive integrity, and we’ll keep being as transparent as possible about how those systems work.

@570_rich @JakeSucky boosting does not mean intentionally playing bad. It means to be playing with a group of or certain people who should not be in your rank, and are maliciously ranking you up to a spot you should not be. Ban was justified. Cope.

@JakeSucky Shit wasnt justified it was targeted, he was playing with his boys nothing malicious going on at all, stop using boosting like he was intentionally playing bad. Jesus Christ hes not a pro or trying to be one it’s no different than Timthetatman getting carried by Clocky and teep

After banning Trainwreck 30 days for boosting and rank manipulation in Valorant, a Riot Dev allegedly leaked his IP while he was live on stream The ban seems justified but no Dev should be going back and forth with this stuff on Twitter

@AyyyNuttt @JakeSucky they talk to the community actively about issues like ban reasons especially when it is this big of a deal. It’s a lot better to actually have a response and reason from an anticheat team compared to people like valve.

@JakeSucky makes the company look amateurish, agree with the ban but tweeting publicly is like some social clout amateur bull💩 leaking the ip i feel twitter should ban dudes account 🐿️

@cringejoker @JakeSucky Was pretty justified. Maybe a bit harsh but used as an example to stop his viewers from doing the same thing.

@JakeSucky Why tf do you keep saying the term “boosting” like he was maliciously trying to rank up. He was just playing with his friends on stream, and one of those friends just so happened to be using an alt. And no the ban wasn’t justified either 🤷‍♂️

@trainbeliever @Trainwreckstv @deteccphilippe @xQc @riotgames @RiotSupport @VALORANT im quite sure he stated it was something that they started to ENFORCE more often recently. It’s definitely not new lol

@KesloVAL @Trainwreckstv @deteccphilippe @xQc @riotgames @RiotSupport @VALORANT The dev of the anti cheat team replied yesterday saying this was a new thing that they just started to implement

How is this employee of your company talking to dedicated players this way? @riotgames @RiotSupport @VALORANT The terms of service AND live support on the website state that @Trainwreckstv was within the TOS. Important evidence in comments

Too many people are missing the point with this scenario. Train underperforming isn’t the issue, it’s the high ranked player(s) hopping on alt accounts and elo abusing. This is a nothing burger if everyone is playing on their main, but that clearly isn’t the case here.

@trainbeliever @Trainwreckstv @deteccphilippe @xQc @riotgames @RiotSupport @VALORANT then you're clearly not in the community enough since it happens relatively frequently. especially with the ones who do it for content e.g. mooda / keeoh / curry / royalg who've all had bans at some point for the same thing.

@Trainwreckstv @deteccphilippe @xQc @riotgames @RiotSupport @VALORANT I have never seen another streamer banned for this or any of the “discord kittens” people play with higher ranks and people on alts all the time I don’t see how they came after you and only you

@BrianMcAlp53745 @RiotK3o @Trainwreckstv @deteccphilippe @xQc @riotgames @RiotSupport @VALORANT most of the time they do get banned. If you'd actually watched many of their videos, they tend to receive a ban as per smurfing. Tenz/kyedae don't smurf so not sure what you're on about. What a silly comment.

@RiotK3o @Trainwreckstv @deteccphilippe @xQc @riotgames @RiotSupport @VALORANT Sure. Why didn’t you ban TenZ or Kydae or curry who single handily kept Helen Wong in business. It’s clearly targeted and the rules clearly don’t apply to some.

@xalphaone_ @Trainwreckstv @deteccphilippe @xQc @riotgames @RiotSupport @VALORANT

@Trainwreckstv @deteccphilippe @xQc @riotgames @RiotSupport @VALORANT I would like to see actual evidence of the claims they are making and was used to make this decision.. This smells like communism within a company. But just like all communism, a rate eventually appears.

@SquirtIes @xQc @Trainwreckstv @riotgames @RiotSupport @VALORANT thinking this could be a legal issue is funny of ya

@xQc @Trainwreckstv @riotgames @RiotSupport @VALORANT Sue the fuck out of them for the fuck of it Body em legally for this Im typically a fan of gamer doc But if he’s gonna make this political bc he doesn’t like train then body them Literally body them idc

@RocketBullets @TanmayyMhatre do an AUS expectation roster 🔥

🚨 SOURCES: Team Singapore 🇸🇬 decided for ENC Jinggg 🇸🇬 Duelist STYRON 🇸🇬 Flex nephh 🇸🇬 Initiator + IGL wayne 🇸🇬 Controller Deryeon 🇸🇬 Sentinel Benkai 🇸🇬 Head Coach How would you rate this roster? via @TanmayyMhatre

@AtlasCasts expectation would be that the team who makes the pacific LCQ would be supported by riot. has always been done previously for VCL. typically as well if u qual in one area, you’re just not allowed to participate in another. TO should handle regulating that.

Good to see there's a path here, but what happens if one team wins prem multiple times or wins prem and the online qualifier? Is there support for the team that makes the Pacific LCQ or is it fly yourself there or play on 120 ping? Also the LANs are cool but rip NZ ig

@CsyFPS @AtlasCasts @valocescrims that’s not true. riot typically handled all flights if you qual to int events like VCL previously.

@AtlasCasts @valocescrims Oce has never been supported for VCT let alone their LCQs. haven’t played comp in years but isn’t there a Manila server now?

this is what OCE really needed to thrive, a local host running LANs and VCL quals

@fortressprod @FortressSydney interesting

@Wave_OCE only Ws from wave

Competitive Ruling - Squishy Cheeks During their match against Bonkers on the April 27, 2026, Wave OCE has found that Squishy Cheeks has breached the Wave OCE Tournament Rulebook Section 2, Code of Conduct. After assessing the timeline of events and taking into consideration previous warnings, Squishy Cheeks has been disqualified from Wave OCE Rising Tides Split 1.

@MOURNMEBABYDOLL @brayydenmgmt the anti cheat is game wide, it doesn’t matter about the elo you’re in. It’s not boosted per higher elo.

@brayydenmgmt the anti cheat for high elo accounts is close to nothing, they don’t care about us, they care about only the fact that we keep giving them money

@FearedBuck That fella with the curls needs to be humbled. What a fat freak throwing threats to an innocent guy. Cunts ego is almost as big as his stomach.

Vitaly issues an apology after a p—phile sting gone wrong, where they repeatedly accused the wrong man of being a p—phile. “My team and I mistakenly portrayed Akash Singhania as a child pred*tor. This was a mistake that I deeply regret. He never intended to meet a minor and has been cleared of all wrongdoing. I apologize to Mr. Singhania, his family, his friends, and anyone else affected by this mistake. To be clear, the work we do to expose predatory behavior is of the utmost importance, but in doing so, we cannot lose sight of the truth. I have removed the video from all my accounts, and I ask that anyone who has saved it please do the same. Though I never encourage anyone to attempt to contact any person in my videos, I ask that anyone who is attempting to contact Mr. Singhaniacease at once. This was a learning experience for my team and me, and we will ensure that we remain committed to the truth, as we always have.” (via: Vitaly on Kick)

@4yden_N4s4 @VALO2ASIA pretty much impossible for any AU/NZ player to go international now. No VCL so no real way to get in. No publicity either for premier.

@VALO2ASIA How did you break into the VCT team from Australia? And how would you recommend getting into that scene if your an IMMO/RADIANT looking to start competing and putting yourself out there?
