Riot Games has responded to the Valorant ban it recently handed to Kick co-founder and streamer ‘Trainwreck,’ real name Tyler Faraz Nikam, stating that it was the result of teaming up with an Immortal player who was swapping between smurf accounts. The month-long suspension has sparked fresh discussions around what’s allowed in Valorant five-stacks, with Trainwreck questioning why he was “banned for playing with friends.” In response, Riot’s anti-cheat team has clarified that one specific player that was joining Trainwreck in the multiplayer game caused a direct ToS violation.
