9 Pandas received level 1 penalty for all matches of the DPC 2023 Tour 3

The organizers of the first division Paragon Events issued 9 Pandas a level 1 penalty for all matches of the third round of DPC 2023 for Eastern Europe. This means that the team will have 30 seconds less time at the draft stage than the opponents.

Paragon Events did not bring any facts of violation of the rules, and also did not make a detailed public statement. However, from the information available on Liquipedia, it can be concluded that the players, coach or staff of 9 Pandas were punished for verbally abusing tournament operator employees, sponsors or members of other teams.

 

9 Pandas recently finished in 3rd place at the ESL One Berlin Major 2023 playing with a stand-in, and the team's next game is against Nemiga Gaming in the DPC 2023 Division 1 for Eastern Europe on May 16.

 

As Cyberscore reported, Paragon Events got the rights for Russian-language broadcasting of ESL FACEIT Group tournaments.
