VALORANT Player krea6on Permanently Banned for Mocking Disability
VALORANT player Vilius “krea6on” Malinauskas has received a permanent ban from both Challengers League East: Surge and Valorant East: United after he was recorded mocking another player’s disability.
The Lithuanian player openly bullied NAVI content creator Marcus “SoMarcus” Black through VALORANT in-game voice comms and text chat while streaming on Twitch, which has led to his removal from all Polska Liga Esportowa events starting today.
Tournament organizer Polska Liga Esportowa shared their “competitive ruling” on May 2, 2023. This is krea6on’s second and final warning, as he had previously faced disciplinary action over a year ago.
SoMarcus called krea6on an “awful human being” and shared the recording in question in a tweet. The video shows krea6on mocking SoMarcus’ twitches despite pleas for him to stop.
This is not the first time krea6on has been banned for toxic comments. His previous punishment was for discriminatory remarks made in April 2022. He was then banned from all official VALORANT esports competitions for the duration of Stage Two for breaking several rules of the Global Competition Policy.
Challengers League East Surge is part of the top-tier Eastern European circuit in VALORANT, hosting 16 teams and 23 countries participating.
Although krea6on had yet to reach the echelon of competitive VALORANT play, this ban will likely prevent him from participating in high-level competitions in the future.
