One more player from South America was involved in the racist scandal
The member of the Brazilian team NoPing e-sports ??Jose Leonardo "Panda" Padilla Hernandez was at the center of the racist scandal. The player insulted a member of Black N Yellow ??Andrew "Jubei" Evelyn in the matchmaking.
Club Manager, ??Leonardo "Manulli" Manulli, apologized from the face of the whole organization:
On behalf of the NoPing team and company, I'd like to say that we disagree with the behaviour of Panda. Although he is deeply ashamed and sorry for what he did, it doesn't change the fact that we were badly surprised by what happened and spent the rest of the night talking with him and the whole team. Panda is banned from participating in BTS Pro Series Season 5. Until the end of the group stage, I will play for a team as a stand-in.
The team participates in BTS Pro Series 5. ??Panda will miss the remaining part of the tournament, while the club manager, ??Manulli, will take his place. At the moment, Beyond The Summit hasn't made the official statement yet.
A few days ago, a similar situation occurred with a player Latam Defenders ??Jeanpierre Rivera "Aretes" Perez. ??Andrew "Jubei" Evelyn was also involved in that incident. Read more - Latam Defenders excludes Aretes for racist abuse.
