Upon further review, it's clear that we lacked clarity around our intentional disconnect rule. Our goal is to prevent players from denying shakedown information by intentionally disconnecting from the game in a DBNO state. This conduct is not within the spirit of the competition.

Because of this earlier lack of clarity, and a large scale of pending infractions, players who broke this rule in the FNCS Qualifiers will now only receive a warning and not a warning + DQ. Heat assignments will be updated.

Starting this Friday, players who intentionally disconnect in a DBNO state will receive a warning + DQ if this is their first offense. Second time offenders will receive a DQ + two-week ban.

Moving forward, we are working towards an in-game solution that would prevent players from breaking this rule intentionally or not. Additionally, this rule and others will be more clearly defined in the official rules for next season's competitive events.

Great coms. Much appreciated.

That final paragraph is interesting. By the sounds of it they plan on introducing a feature of some sort that stops you from quitting while knocked.

Not sure what the final feature will look like, but it could be something like that. We still have to flush that our with our devs.

Would be nice if you could look into that. His ban message also says that it was for “Intentional Disconnect”

We're checking that now. Thank you!
