An investigation by Riot Games this week has concluded that former VALORANT Game Changers players Madelyn “malibu” Campos and James “Summertime” Edwards violated Riot’s VCT Game Changers ruleset, resulting in lengthy bans for both players.
One of the biggest storylines from the 2023 VALORANT Game Changers circuit was the disqualification of Noot Noot, a team that had risen through the ranks and eliminated content creator Disguised Toast’s team in the process. Now, over three months after the match that saw Noot Noot forfeit their spot in the Game Changers tournament, Riot’s ruling has been revealed: malibu is now permanently banned from all Riot-sanctioned competition, while Summertime faces a one-year ban.
