Before the DRX vs TALON match at VCT 2025: Pacific Stage 1 Playoffs, TALON’s head coach Hector "FrosT" Rosario refused to fist bump the DRX coach. This gesture evolved into a loud statement after the match: Seon-ho "termi" Pyeon put his career on the line, promising to end it if evidence is provided that DRX shared scrim VODs with other teams.

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, DRX's coach, explaining it as a personal issue that, in his words, "will never be resolved — and that’s okay."

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?

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. Wolves Esports' coach also weighed in and supported FrosT — here are the key points from their comments:

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 DRX or anyone, everyone is innocent until proven guilty with concrete evidence I’m just stating that scrim sharing happens, in my case I got lucky because this coach is a friend of mine and he instantly rejected the opposition and informed me

You think frost didn’t try to report it to Riot? He had more evidences than I do

Amid the scandal, DRX’s head coach termi could no longer remain silent and, after the match, stated that he’s putting his 20-year career on the line. He promised to retire the next day if even a shred of evidence is presented showing DRX shared scrim VODs with other teams.

Let me say this clearly: DRX NEVER leaked scrim information.

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 DRX leaked scrim information. Otherwise, I demand coach FrosT take responsibility for spreading these groundless rumors.

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.
