In every VCT pre-show, as a sign of mutual respect, team coaches shake hands or bump fists. However, this time, FrosT deliberately refused to do so with Seon-ho "termi" Pyeon,
TALON’s streamer Jessica "Jess" Bolden defended FrosT and, in response to a user's comment, hinted that termi shared scrim VODs with other teams and insulted FrosT’s mother. Here’s what she said:
This photo will forever be iconic to me. This is such a raw moment. He stood on that stage and made a choice not to acknowledge someone who had wronged him multiple times over. It’s brave because not everyone knows what caused that.. but he knows.. and he finally got to control what happens.

and then his team got outplayed for 2 maps by a better game planning coach and got eliminated but all good he’s got ‘aura’

What does winning or losing a match have to do with a man breaking competitive integrity by sharing scrim vods with teams and calling someone's mother inept?
Answer Jessica "Jess" Bolden
Former TALON player Peter "Governor" No also joined the discussion, saying that the team had evidence last year that some teams were sharing scrim VODs with each other. Such practice creates an unfair advantage in official matches.
i have nothing to gain now from saying this but last year on TLN we had proof of some teams scrim sharing and showed it but ya riot just didnt rlly care and told us they couldnt enforce anything from what I understood. just to shed some light. idk whats going on there now or if the problem still exists but in my experiences last year it definitely was a thing. i do think it should be enforced as a rule tho.

Unfortunately scrim sharing happens way often than you can imagine, and I’ve experienced it against my team before
In no way my tweet is referring to
You think frost didn’t try to report it to Riot? He had more evidences than I do

Amid the scandal,
Let me say this clearly:
Coach FrosT claims to have some evidence, and if that's true, we want a clear announcement of the teams, players, or coaches involved, as well as the demonstration of the evidence provided to Riot Games.
As a person who has worked in the esports scene for over 20 years, I’m ready to end my career tomorrow if any solid evidence appears that
Seon-ho "termi" Pyeon
At the time of publication, the situation remains unresolved — there has been no official statement from Riot Games, and TALON representatives have yet to respond to termi's statement. If the story develops, we will update this article or prepare a new one with the latest information.
