Official VCT Blacklisted Players

This is a list of some “blacklisted” VCT players

Not by Riot Games by other Franchise Players so certain players will never get a chance to play on a Franchise partnered team

1. BabyJ/Inspire
2. Xxif
3. Pancc
4. Genghsta (For leaking private team details and publishing clips on Twitter, all players have agreed to blacklist him from franchise). Genghsta has also been blacklisted by many Ascension teams

Any team that gives one of these players a spot in Franchise league will be blacklisted from scrims (Yes there is a blacklist for scrims)

VCT “Riot Games” Blacklisted Players

1. Sinatraa

Riot Games has made it super clear they are not interested in allowing Sinatraa to play in any franchise league.
Why?
Casters have voiced their opinion on if they would cast games with Sinatraa and many said no
Sponsorships/Partners will drop

Regardless if the allegations are false, it will always be a question mark

Basically adding Sinatraa is a loss to Riot Games

2. NiesoW

Basically got caught cheating, NieSoW retired before offline events came and got hit with the ban hammer.

3. Frosty on Knights.gg

Similar reason to Sinatraa

I understand pancc, xxif, and inspire. What did the other 3 do?

BabyJ got trialed by a few t1 teams i think

the hell did dark3st do

moatz [#2]

I understand pancc, xxif, and inspire. What did the other 3 do?

same here

aidmadeit [#4]

the hell did dark3st do

Mistake

Meant to put Genghsta

Is sinatraa really still blacklisted form Tier 1?

JMZxp [#6]

Mistake

Meant to put Genghsta

Can you make short explanations for each?

moatz [#2]

I understand pancc, xxif, and inspire. What did the other 3 do?

wait, what did xxif do?

DSGFan [#9]

wait, what did xxif do?

i'm assuming it's because he cheated in fortnite but idk if that's the reason

nieSoW

moatz [#10]

i'm assuming it's because he cheated in fortnite but idk if that's the reason

that's it? cheating in fortnite?

ttvyoppyfps [#7]

Is sinatraa really still blacklisted form Tier 1?

Yes. He will never play franchise because he’s too much of a risk + a loss of revenue

People can say he’s being trialed, but Riot Games at the end of the day has to approve contracts.

Riot Games prefers people who don’t have a shady history rather a person with amazing talent but allegations

ghengsta is based tho

JMZxp [#6]

Mistake

Meant to put Genghsta

yeah wtf did I do.

ttvyoppyfps [#7]

Is sinatraa really still blacklisted form Tier 1?

Yeah, its not a matter of morals anymore, its purely financial from ri0t
They lose money (potential partnerships + sponsors) by adding him back

Dark3st [#15]

yeah wtf did I do.

My bad king

DSGFan [#12]

that's it? cheating in fortnite?

that's all i know he did. idk if that's why

acels [#14]

ghengsta is based tho

how everyone views Ghgengsta now is based

moatz [#18]

that's all i know he did. idk if that's why

I don't think that would be enough of a reason for players to not want to play with him though?

Dark3st [#15]

yeah wtf did I do.

LMAO

DSGFan [#20]

I don't think that would be enough of a reason for players to not want to play with him though?

yea idk tbh

JawXG [#16]

Yeah, its not a matter of morals anymore, its purely financial from ri0t

Riot Games advocates for positivity and supports everyone

Adding sinatraa will legit compromise that and make Riot Games seem like they have gone back on their word
Riot Games is in a weird position; however they believe it’s in their best interest to not allow him to play.

acels [#14]

ghengsta is based tho

bro imagine being such a shitty teammate that someone was willing to pay 10k to get you off the team

Pubber [#19]

how everyone views Ghgengsta now is based

most people dont

Liem [#3]

BabyJ got trialed by a few t1 teams i think

only eg and even they said fuck you

Liem [#3]

BabyJ got trialed by a few t1 teams i think

BabyJ only got trialed by EG.

Everyone knows this and the contract never materialized because of “unknown reasons”

Zt0l is just a ranked player/content creator i guarantee he's not blacklisted he just doesnt wanna go pro

You forgot DeyahAlAjarma-got banned for being so good that everyone agreed him playing wouldnt be fair. In return he trained up fellow player "Rb" to take up his mantle of GOAT-being the greatest person to touch this game in history

DSGFan [#24]

bro imagine being such a shitty teammate that someone was willing to pay 10k to get you off the team

Y0y

why riot don't announcement NiesoW

why ztol?

why ztol
babyj just has a bad rep, not actually blacklisted?

Yuh_aye [#28]

Zt0l is just a ranked player/content creator i guarantee he's not blacklisted he just doesnt wanna go pro

more like he can’t lol

1phnxe [#33]

why does he have a bad reputation? scrolling thru the thread and found no context

fictional [#35]

why does he have a bad reputation? scrolling thru the thread and found no context

Toxicity & Ego is mainly the reason but there is also more reasons why teams won't pickup BabyJ and have him on a "blacklist"

Giansanity too
for leaking scrims (although he didnt mean to)

Whats xxif doing up here? Him cheating in fortnite was some time ago and ion think anybody in valorant cares.

JMZxp [#27]

BabyJ only got trialed by EG.

Everyone knows this and the contract never materialized because of “unknown reasons”

why isnt he allowed to play?

fictional [#35]

Dog shit player with such an inflated ego.

acels [#14]

ghengsta is based tho

leaking scrims because you want to behave like a high schooler is not based lmfao

JMZxp [#36]

what reasons.....

yaiima0 [#40]

Dog shit player with such an inflated ego.

okay, but he isn't going to be blacklisted just because people dont fw him in general....

DownLoad_AimLabs [#39]

why isnt he allowed to play?

Toxic
Ego

Are the main reasons

JMZxp [#44]

Toxic
Ego

Are the main reasons

And he’s not good 😂😂😂

1phnxe [#43]

okay, but he isn't going to be blacklisted just because people dont fw him in general....

yes he is, if people decide that you're generally not pleasant to interact with they'll avoid you at all cost. Alot of people forget how much personality and mental matters in a team mate.

Frosty is also banned by Riot Games

smthlikeyou11 [#37]

Giansanity too
for leaking scrims (although he didnt mean to)

who?

dandann [#48]

who?

ranked demon from phillipines
basically he hit a clip during scrims then thought it was a good idea to post it to facebook
hes basically blacklisted from all scrims too

Crazy how false allegations literally killed sinatra's pro scene

yaiima0 [#46]

that isnt a blacklist thats just called not liking a person

Kasumi12 [#50]

Crazy how false allegations literally killed sinatra's pro scene

i mean if he was innocent bro handled it the worst way possible i don't think you can fuck it up more

What happened to Frosty?

DevoidDecoy [#53]

What happened to Frosty?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_xvIGYByVw

Frosty got called out for SA

What did pancc do?

greggerly [#55]

What did pancc do?

Really?

Why is XXIF here? Ik he cheated in Fortnite but Riot is has been allowing him in T2 for years now.

niesow didnt cheat btw

(Genghsta has also been blacklisted by many Ascension teams)

Bro is shit anyway he ain't getting no team regardless LOL

greggerly [#55]

What did pancc do?

💀💀💀

smthlikeyou11 [#49]

ranked demon from phillipines
basically he hit a clip during scrims then thought it was a good idea to post it to facebook
hes basically blacklisted from all scrims too

Didn't he post after it was confirmed he wasn't qualified? So he basically did it to be petty lolz

1phnxe [#51]

that isnt a blacklist thats just called not liking a person

It’s a blacklist quite literally, if a solid majority of ppl don’t wanna play with you, you’re likely to be blacklist by the pro social circle.

yaiima0 [#62]

nah u don't know what blacklist means
it's like a literal list
not general not liking a person

DSGFan [#12]

that's it? cheating in fortnite?

He cheated to qualify for World Cup duos. It's a completely different game so I guess it's fair but if I were to look for a player, I wouldn't trust someone who cheated their way into getting in a major event.

another clip but on the same drop

acels [#14]

ghengsta is based tho

rare ac0ls w

Simp4S0m [#61]

Didn't he post after it was confirmed he wasn't qualified? So he basically did it to be petty lolz

He still leaked prx's breeze comp

FireII [#45]

And he’s not good 😂😂😂

how come he won't try tier 2?

I think GianSanity was also blacklisted in pacific for posting a vid against PRX in a scrim trial with Team Secret

Pubber [#67]

how come he won't try tier 2?

cuz nobody wants to play with him (hence the blacklist) cuz of his ego, toxicity and general shit personality. Even players vouched for stuff like this.

1phnxe [#63]

nah u don't know what blacklist means
it's like a literal list
not general not liking a person

Well the ego + toxicity is ofc a problem for BabyJ/Inspire but the biggest reason could also be that disaster class when he was on 100T and lost 13-0 as a Senti on Ascent

Pubber [#67]

how come he won't try tier 2?

he thinks he is too good for t2 + the t2 pros in NA know about him and won't allow him on their teams

Dark3st [#15]

yeah wtf did I do.

you too good they think you cheat goat

greggerly [#55]

What did pancc do?

he a diddler

add y0y to this list he's a briber

BUFF163 [#74]

add y0y to this list he's a briber

21Amaterasu [#68]

I think GianSanity was also blacklisted in pacific for posting a vid against PRX in a scrim trial with Team Secret

The funny thing was that was after he got rejected and he was just salty

greggerly [#55]

What did pancc do?

He a fan, he a fan, he a fan

1phnxe [#63]

nah u don't know what blacklist means
it's like a literal list
not general not liking a person

Lol this guy thinks there is actually a list…..

Ntk for domestic abuse

Keite (or something similar) was the best GC player in the early days, threatened to leak someone’s nudes if they wouldn’t be her friend.

Harmful, he basically is impossible to work with and Has joined multiple decent teams only to be dropped a few days / weeks later.

Dgzin is very good but it’s hard for him to join a team because he is known to be hard to work with

Good information

Rumor I read last year(2023):
Last year DFM, Zeta, and the entire Tier2 JP teams were banned by all other T1 APAC teams from scrims.
When masters Tokyo was happening, no participating teams scrimmed with any t1 or t2 JP team.
The reason was they were simply just bad. Scrimming with them literally is a waste of time.
It was just a rumor I read somewhere I can't remember but it's highly possible that it really happened considering how bad JP teams was. I mean even at the present they are still bad.

😭😭😭💀💀💀 that's wild ngl

Genghsta > y0y

NiesoW isnt banned by riot
He definitely deserves to go on the blacklisted by other players list though with quite a few pros "refusing to comment" on the niesow situation.

Ardiis is an obvious example (ok there were a lot of comments in that segment xD), but Sliggy also had the topic borderline blacklisted a while back and L1nk ignored all questions regarding it. Nukkye (his teammate at the time) also didnt wanna talk about it (in sliggys chat, Im not around on his own stream enough to know if he talked about it there).
This doesnt equate to Niesow being guilty ofc, but I think its safe to say that a lot of people wouldnt be comfortable with having him in the scene.

Then why did he disappear before the offline matches began to popup?

JMZxp [#85]

we dont know
we do know from multiple players and coaches that there has never been a ban.

watch ardiis' infamous "leak everything" stream if you wanna get his take on it (obviously over the top since its ardiis, but funny af)
or just check out Tanizhq's twitter (the coach of the team)

can you enlighten me on how ardiis, sliggy and l1nk connected to this situation? sorry I was not around here around that time

That doesn't make any sense why would someone like Xxif be blackleasted if we literally allow people who match fixed on other games

Am I an idiot or living under a rock?

What did inspire do?

MrShadow [#91]

can you enlighten me on how ardiis, sliggy and l1nk connected to this situation? sorry I was not around here around that time

only playing at the time
theyre not connected, only named them because theyre the ones that I know were asked explicitly, saw the question and made a comment on it (even if it was that they wont talk about Niesow like with sliggy and l1nk)

jixk [#52]

i mean if he was innocent bro handled it the worst way possible i don't think you can fuck it up more

He's been a prick since overwatch so it lines up

jixk [#52]

The way he handled it was probably the only way he could, legally. Realistically I think it was a grey-area incident and the lack of evidence (that would actually means something in the court of law vs public perception) put him in a tough spot.

Dude’s viewership has gone down, he’s publicly branded as a SA and he can no longer be a professional val player. He doesn’t even queue ranked with other pros anymore either. I think to some degree he’s definitely been punished.
