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.
