Both events ran by us,\u201d they said. \u201cMatch fixing is wrong and hurts the integrity and spirit of competition. Don\u2019t do it.\u201d While Zack did compete at Evo, his attendance was overshadowed by his former org, Polar Ace Esports, dropping him once he admitted to match-fixing and blackmailing Ally following a relationship scandal. Lauth revealed he had blackmailed Ally into throwing matches and he felt Ally \u201cdidn\u2019t deserve to compete anymore.\u201d Effective immediately, CaptainZack will be banned from competing at all 2GG events due to match fixing at Prime Saga and MomoCon 2019.

Don\u2019t do it. \u2014 2GG (@2GGaming) August 5, 2019 \u201cI apologize to Nairo and Zackray for ruining the integrity of competition and to the entire community for letting my personal relationship affect an entire result,\u201d the Canadian Snake player said on August 2. Ally had retired in July after admitting to being in a relationship with then 16-year-old CaptainZack. The former pro said he was \u201creally scared\u201d to be open about the relationship and had previously denied it. It will be interesting to see what other tournaments decide to bar CaptainZack from competing. Super Smash Con is set to be the first major tournament in which the game\u2019s latest fighter, Hero, will be legal. Additionally, in Melee, the tournament will feature a new rule regarding ledge camping\/trapping. Should one player or team reach 60 ledge grabs, they will forfeit the match. However, if both players in a singles match \u2013 or one from each team \u2013 break the 60 limit, the rule will be disregarded.
