Official: PARIVISION allowed to compete at RMR

Tournament operator Perfect World released a statement regarding the situation with PARIVISION – it was published on the social media X. The organizers of the Shanghai Major officially confirmed the information that PARIVISION's appeal was proved successful, and the team was allowed to participate in the upcoming RMR.

After the original discussions resulting in disqualification of PARIVISION for having a permanently banned coach participate in the qualifiers, we have today been given an updated decision. This is based on a newly communicated ESIC appeal process that Ivan Kochugov (F_1N) undertook, wherein it was decided that F_1N should be eligible to participate in official events as of this Major cycle.

As we have now been informed that PARIVISION will have their Shanghai Major RMR eligibility reinstated, the last-chance qualifier originally scheduled for August 27 is cancelled and will no longer be played.

The Esports Ethics Commission (ESIC) also released its own statement, in which it reported that on an individual basis and as an exception, it reduced Ivan "F_1N" Kochugov's punishment for abusing a coaching bug. Accordingly, the coach is now allowed to participate in official Valve events.
