PARIVISION move F_1N to inactive roster in "joint decision" ahead of RMR
The coach won't travel to Shanghai with the team despite no longer being banned from Majors.
PARIVISION has moved its head coach, Ivan "F_1N" Kochugov, to the inactive roster mere weeks before the Perfect World Shanghai Major Europe RMR.
The announcement states the change was made in a "joint decision" with the 41-year-old, who has been with the organization since June and helped them qualify for the RMR that he will now miss.
F_1N was at the center of controversy surrounding PARIVISION's RMR qualification because he was believed to be serving a permanent ban from Valve Majors due to his use of the infamous coach bug.
The coach was spotted in the room with the team in a now-deleted celebratory video when they concluded their qualifying match, a violation of Valve's rules for having team staff present in the room while matches are ongoing, which in isolation would have received a warning but led to PARIVISION's disqualification due to F_1N's perceived Valve ban.
However, that disqualification was overturned after Valve was informed of a successful appeal F_1N made to reduce his sentence to the Esports Integrity Commission (ESIC)'s Independent Appeals Panel months prior, the results of which had not been made public by the watchdog or communicated to Perfect World or Valve at the time of its conclusion.
PARIVISION's spot at the Perfect World Shanghai Major Europe RMR was reinstated, but with this move, F_1N will still miss out on attending the event with the team. The 41-year-old was registered as PARIVISION's coach in the team's roster submission to Perfect World, which means any replacement announced by the organization will not be allowed to stand behind them during their matches in China.
PARIVISION are slated to take on HEROIC in their opening match of Europe RMR B on November 20.
