Today it became known that the PARIVISION team was disqualified from Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024: European RMR for which they passed through closed qualifications. After that another video appeared in the community, in which you can see Passion UA cameraman filming the team's reaction to the victory against BIG.
One of the OG fans writes that the Passion UA team should be disqualified from the tournament and replaced by OG. But in the Passion UA situation, the cameraman was in the room, not the banned coach.
After the disqualification of 🇷🇺 PARIVISION, another incident started gaining attention online — during their first game against 🇩🇪 BIG, the operator for 🇺🇦 Passion UA was allegedly in the same room with them.

Community reaction to the Passion UA moment
Most of the community realizes that they probably won't be disqualified, as it's only an operator. But they may get a warning for this incident.
No support staff are allowed in the room, not even the videographer. It's not a trainer, but it still violates the rules, I can only assume they'll get a warning like PARIVISION did in the beginning because it's not a trainer banned by Valve. We'll have to wait and see
Also the coach of Team Passion UA shared that he broke his arm the day before he left due to which he didn't fly with the team to the bootcamp, due to which he couldn't be there. He also thinks that if there will be a penalty, it will not be critical and the team will still be able to participate in the RMR.
Statement from PARIVISION
After the team was removed, two hours later the organization released a statement saying that the coach of the team was not present during the game. He only joined the team after the match was over to celebrate the victory.
They also indicated that they found out like all fans from the news officially. They indicated that they will be communicating with Perfect World and Valve about reconsidering the disqualification decision.
Community reactions to PARIVISION's disqualification are.
Great decision from Perfect World & Valve on this situation!
All the work that has been done is for nothing. Shame for the guys in the betting community. But where was the manager at this point? Why didn't he notify the guys on the team that the rules say you can't be in the room except for 5 people from the team?
Self snitching by teams from content posts is never going to be funny. It's the easiest rule to get around and not get caught. All you had to do was not talk about yourself in the video
Conclusion
According to the rules Passion UA should get a warning, but no more, because they had it done once. In turn, PARIVISON deservedly received a punishment and will not go to RMR.
