- PR FOOL was suspected of using hacks to gain an unfair advantage at the P&S PUBG Mobile Series
- Gamer.LK investigated the issue with the help of the Tencent security team
- The investigation confirmed that PR FOOL was indeed a hacker
- PR FOOL and his squad have been disqualified from the P&S PUBG Mobile Series
- Placements of all other squads move up by 1, and points updated accordingly
- MAX DXG SAS, OMA | ADEUSX & nA Team Destiny qualify for semi-finals
Squad “Professors A” of Group 9 have been disqualified following an investigation on the use of illegal HACKS during the tournament.
Squad “Professors A” consist of:
- PR JOKER
- PR LINO
- SARANI
- THIKASAN
- PR FOOL
- PR THUSANTH
Upon early suspicion that “PR FOOL” was cheating, Gamer.LK reviewed his gameplay and sent it across to Tencent for further investigation. Tencent confirmed the use of 3rd party tools and banned his account. Tencent Games have made it clear that things like cheating and hacking will not be tolerated and the players doing it will suffer an exit from the game for a decade i.e the player will be banned from using PUBG and may suffer a life-time ban from competitive Esports in Sri Lanka.
Both he and his squad have been disqualified from the tournament following the results of the investigation and Gamer.LK will be taking further disciplinary action against “PR FOOL”.
The placement points of all other teams in Group 9 have changed as they move up 1 slot following this debacle.
Therefore, the new set of squads that qualify are as follows:
Position 1 – MAX DXG SAS
Position 2 – OMA | ADEUSX
Position 3 – nA Team Destiny

nA.Cherry
Further to Gamer.LK’s investigation of nA.Cherry’s performance during the DOTA 2 1v1 event (details here: https://gamer.lk/news/womens-cyber-games-20-investigations) Gamer.LK provided the player time to provide further proof of her performance. She was unable to do so, and therefore has been banned from Gamer.LK tournaments for a period of 1 year.
TM.Phanta
TM.Phanta has been banned from Gamer.LK tournaments for a period of 1 year and 3 months, broken down as follows:
- Disrupting a tournament: 3 months
- Impersonating a referee: 1 year
Based on IP matches provided by Tech Morph, Gamer.LK was able to confirm that TM.Phanta was the person who disrupted the tournament, and thereafter confessed to Gamer.LK during questioning. Gamer.LK was also able to match IPs and confirm that he had further impersonated a Gamer.LK referee during his disruption of the tournament.
This is the 4th instance in Sri Lankan Esports that players have received bans for sharing accounts, and also the 3rd instance players have been banned for disrupting a tournament. Gamer.LK takes the integrity of tournaments organised for the Sri Lankan Esports community very seriously, whether it’s account sharing or behaviour that disrupts events. We strive to protect Sri Lankan Esports athletes against disruptive elements in the community and will take necessary steps to grow a healthy and positive competitive scene in Sri Lanka.
