CoD pro received \u201ctwo strikes\u201d for teabagging at Esports World Cup Carolina Royale RavensCall of Duty esports veteran and Carolina Royal Ravens player Tyler \u2018FeLo\u2019 Johnson detailed on a live stream how he was penalized at the Esports World Cup for teabagging his opponent. The Call of Duty portion of the Esports World Cup ended with Atlanta FaZe lifting the trophy after three days of high-octane competition. The third-party event was the first tournament in a long time in the space not run by Activision Blizzard and thus featured a slightly different ruleset. FeLo detailed in a livestream after returning from the event how the different ruleset caused him to earn a penalty mid-match. The 10-year veteran said after winning a round against the Las Vegas Legion, he beelined for his opponent\u2019s body and teabagged him to rub in the outplay. \u201cAfter the map, the ref tapped me on the shoulder.. and he was like \u2018I just want to inform you from the higher-ups, you got two strikes for that map.\u2019 And I was like \u2018Huh? Two strikes? That\u2019s not good,’\u201d FeLo said. FeLo did not elaborate on what would have happened if his team reached three strikes. His team went on to win that match, and place in the top eight at the tournament. Call of Duty esports is known for getting rowdy at times with players trash-talking during and after matches. However, the \u201chigher-ups\u201d at the Esports World Cup did not seem to jive with the CDL\u2019s culture of talking trash. The mega-tournament, which features over a dozen popular esports, is run by ESL and funded by the Saudi Arabian government. Teabagging during competitive esports matches has been a contentious topic in recent years as some players have been banned or warned of incoming penalties for crouching on their enemy\u2019s bodies in live games. The in-game taunt has been labeled toxic by some developers and organizers, who want to have clean matches with the only drama being the scoreboard. General professional and community sentiment has leaned toward letting teabagging continue, but at a certain point, it\u2019s not worth a potential fine or match loss. The Esports World Cup has not commented on the claim made by FeLo at the time of writing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
