Drama ensues after CoD Mobile pro team gets disqualified from $20K tourney for \u201cshooting bodies\u201d ActivisionDuring a $20,000 CoD Mobile tournament, pro team Tragik was instantly disqualified for unsportsmanlike conduct after shooting bodies \u2014 leading to a ton of drama and backlash from the Call of Duty community. Teabagging and shooting bodies are classic examples of BM (bad manners) in Call of Duty, but the Throwback Throwdown CoD Mobile tournament tried to put an end to that. During a semifinals matchup with the chance at $20K on the line, Tragik was disqualified for shooting bodies. Apparently, Tragik\u2019s Jim shot a body after winning a 1v3 to keep his team\u2019s tournament hopes alive. But, while the squad won the round, the stream immediately cut to casters awarding their opponents the win due to \u201cunsportsmanlike conduct.\u201d Hope my team will be allowed to shoot bodies after winning and 6-1 snd after a 1v3 sniper clutch !! pic.twitter.com\/6n8tQSbqEU \u2014 Tragik Pearl (@managerPearl) May 22, 2021 In response to the decision, social media has lit ablaze with CoD and esports fans discussing the punishment. Most prominently, Tragik\u2019s camp is questioning the admins with complaints that there had been no warnings to their team, despite other teams receiving them for similar behavior. As one of the tournament\u2019s casters explained, \u201cwe had a little unsportsmanlike conduct going down on the side of Tragik and so, huge tragedy, they had to forfeit that round they won \u2014 which, now, they don\u2019t have an opportunity to come back.\u201d The reactions across social media have most certainly been spicy, particularly from Tragik\u2019s side. Most notably, the team\u2019s manager, Pearl, has laid out various reasons that the ruling was unfair and also included evidence of other teams receiving warnings for the same actions. Pearl explained that the rules for the tournament didn\u2019t clearly specify shooting bodies as unsportsmanlike and, more importantly, the admin didn\u2019t give any warnings. https:\/\/twitter.com\/managerPearl\/status\/1396208865579044867 With a clip of a Nova Esports player shooting a body, Pearl pointed out that the player received a warning and wasn\u2019t instantly disqualified. This is shown in stark contrast to Tragik, who were forced to immediately forfeit. Elaborating further, the manager noted that there was \u201cno discussion possible\u201d and that the organizers\u2019 actions went \u201cagainst my and a lot of people\u2019s principles.\u201d Various Twitter replies have echoed the sentiment, as players and fans alike complain that Tragik were robbed. Getting dqd for shooting bodies\u2026 idk how that\u2019s remotely toxic it\u2019s just friendly banter\u2026 \ud83d\ude2d these rules are crazy \u2014 Aerith (@Axrith) May 22, 2021 My Tribe team won the NA Regional Championship last season shooting bodies every single game on camera. What is that ruling? Why did @TragikEsports get DQ’d for that? \u2014 nz (@ThanoZIM) May 22, 2021 As of yet, there has been no public response from the tournament administrators regarding this decision.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
