On July 15, DJ Foi, the owner of the Japanese esports team NOEZ FOXX, discussed the current situation with the team streamer To Go to Okinawa's account, which was banned due to suspicions of cheating.
Okinawa joined the NOEZ FOXX streaming division last August. In the past, he was accused of cheating in Apex Legends and suspected of unfair play in Valorant. However, after joining NOEZ, he started streaming with hand demonstrations. He reached first place in Radiant and received high ratings on several accounts, which sparked great interest in the community.
However, since the end of May this year, his streams on Twitch and social media updates have stopped. In a recent stream, DJ Foi and DJ Waki revealed that Okinawa's account was banned. According to the team members, since joining the team, Okinawa strictly followed the rules and streamed only from the office. Okinawa himself categorically claims that he did not use cheats.
In response to this situation, NOEZ FOXX announced last month that they are conducting an investigation into this case in cooperation with Riot Games.
We are in negotiations with Riot and conducting an investigation. We ask our fans to be patient and understanding. Thank you for your support.
Today, on a Twitch stream, DJ Foi reported that the results of the investigation from Riot Games were received. Their content is as follows:
There is a 99% probability that cheats were used, hence a permanent ban was imposed. To prevent other cheaters from escaping punishment, evidence is not provided. The request to check the computer was denied. A warning was given not to conduct offline checks.
NOEZ FOXX continues to cooperate with Riot Games to clarify all the circumstances.
