VALORANT Cloud9 White Forfeits in Qualifiers
Cloud9 White forfeited in their VALORANT Game Changers Open Qualifier after arriving late to the tournament. Their excuse was technical issues, which allowed them a twenty-minute “tech pause”. Cloud9 White used their entire tech pause, but were still two minutes over. Team Captain Melanie “meL” Capone blamed “issues with [the] tourney client”. Nerd Street, the host of the match, ruled that Cloud9 would be disqualified. The decision has dropped Cloud9 White into the lower bracket.
