Sonneiko team was fined for argument  to ATF. Here's what happened.

Before playing PGL Wallachia Season 2 against  Team Falcons,  AVULUS received Level 3 penalty because of a clash between Akbar “SoNNeikO” Butaev and Ammar “ATF” al Assaf. Therefore, the team is going to take away 110 bonus seconds in which it should gain at drafts irrespective of the already instituted penalties at every map of the series.

The standard response concerning the case has been made public on the official X tournament organizers page.

“AVULUS has been issued a Level 3 Penalty for the entire series against Falcons (-110 seconds bonus time on the Draft) following an altercation between SoNNeikO and ATF in the hotel lobby.

We condemn this type of behavior, as it goes against the values of sportsmanship and respect that we uphold in our tournaments.

The incident has been reviewed thoroughly, and appropriate action has been taken to ensure the integrity of the competition.

We expect all participants to maintain professionalism on and off the stage.”

Janne “Gorgc” Stefanovski quoting some words from the player's teammate Oliver “Skiter” Lepko refers to how Akbar “SoNNeikO” Butaev "hugged" the  Team Falcons player and then “threatened to punch and throw on the floor”.

“I spoke to Falcons, this is what they told me. Sonneiko in the hotel lobby embraced Ammar and then threatened to punch him and put him face down on the ground. That's what happened.

Sonneiko got fined at the draft for it. That's the story. They're going to play each other now. That's what I've been told.”

 

Recall that earlier Oliver “Skiter” Lepko spoke about the technical defeat of  Nigma Galaxy in the first match of PGL Wallachia Season 2 because he was not prepared to play against his own team.
