Official VCT Blacklisted Players

#1

JMZxp

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

BabyJ/Inspire
Xxif
Pancc
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

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

NiesoW

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

Frosty on Knights.gg

Similar reason to Sinatraa

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.

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.

Is sinatraa really still blacklisted form Tier 1?

#13

JMZxp

3

Frags

+

–

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

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

#23

–

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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)

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)
