Everything started in the semi -professional tournament in the Philippines between the two teams of Viridus Arcus (VA) and the West Point Esports Academy team (WPE). In a situation of exchanging techniques in the top lane and Camille on the WPE side has the first feat, the automatic expression of this player has been activated. It would be nothing if the side did not pause the match and denounce this to the organizers.
The situation led to the disqualified WPE after the Camille of this team successfully defeated K'Sante and the expression when the first feat was automatically activated.
The WPE was later disqualified by the BTC when the law of the ban on using expressions. More significantly, according to the WPE team, the VA also uses expressions in the match to provoke them. However, the WPE side ignored that and still played normally.
