Ava "florescent" Eugene is a professional Valorant esports player, a two-time Game Changers champion, and the 2024 MVP. In May, Ava found herself at the center of a major scandal: she was accused of sexual assault and abusive behavior by several individuals, including former teammates. The scandal sparked a wave of discussions in the esports community and led to an official investigation by Riot Games.

Initial Accusations

On May 17, a post by Marceline "karie" Carson appeared on platform X, detailing an incident of sexual assault committed by florescent against her friend, known by the pseudonym Brick. According to karie, the events occurred on January 3, 2024, when Brick, despite verbal refusals and resistance, was sexually assaulted. The account describes moments when Brick repeatedly said "no," felt physical pain, and asked to stop, but Ava ignored her words. Brick emphasizes that she did not give consent and eventually gave in under pressure. More details can be found in our article.

Florescent's Response

She stated that she takes the situation seriously and is consulting with lawyers to defend her name. Ava emphasized that she cannot disclose all details yet but promised to provide updates as soon as possible and urged respect for the privacy of all parties involved.

New Details from Brick

In parallel with florescent's statement, karie published a detailed document in which Brick outlined her version of events. It claims that the relationship between Brick and florescent lasted from December 2022 to October 2023 and was toxic. Brick describes multiple acts of pressure and manipulation, including sexual harassment. Particular attention is given to the events of January 3, 2024, which she describes as rape. A false pregnancy and emotional blackmail by Ava are also mentioned.

The document includes testimonies from two other women who were in relationships with florescent. They describe similar behavior: psychological pressure, manipulation, coercion into sex, and infidelity. Screenshots of conversations, admissions of self-harm, and Ava's concerning tweets are also published. Florescent has not commented on these new allegations, sticking to her previous denial.

Riot Games' Reaction and Investigation Launch

On May 18, Riot Games issued an official statement announcing the start of an internal investigation. The company emphasized the seriousness of the allegations and expressed readiness to cooperate with lawyers and investigative bodies. In the document, Riot notes that, unlike the sinatraa case, the names of those involved will not be disclosed until the investigation is complete. Ava remains under community pressure but maintains silence regarding new allegations.

New Figure in the Scandal

On May 20, a new document was published online by a user with the nickname ashe. It claims that Ava, while underage, engaged in sexualized communication with him and other adults, initiated inappropriate conversations, and later used this as a tool for accusations. Ashe emphasizes that there were no meetings or exchange of intimate materials, but Ava allegedly manipulated the context of the conversations. The document also mentions that Ava posted photos of an ex-girlfriend without consent, raising additional concerns.

Florescent's Official Statement

On May 23, florescent released a detailed statement, serving as her official response to the allegations made by karie on May 17 on behalf of a girl named Brick. In the document, florescent denied the rape allegations, presenting her version of events, as well as screenshots of conversations and a timeline of her relationship with Brick. She claims their contact was mutual and emphasized that she herself became a victim of harassment and threats.
