Is Ranked Play in Arena of Valor a Violation of Fair Play?
The exact incident involves the recent clash between the SH Triết and FPT HUYHOANG teams. Specifically, these two teams participated in a solo 1vs1 competition within the framework of AIC 2024. During a heated battle using the character Skud, after performing a skill to evade the opponent, the Triết team displayed an unexpected behavior, “throwing the game” and swiftly pressing the button to end the ranked match, avoiding the observation of the viewers.
This event was broadcasted live, shocking not only the viewers but also the commentators for Arena of Valor. It is essential to note that in professional Arena of Valor matches, ending a ranked game is an unprecedented act and is considered the most severe violation.

Moreover, this action not only indicates a lack of respect for the opposing team but also raises questions about the integrity of the game itself. Just moments later, many viewers expressed their discontent, taking to social media to criticize the Triết team’s behavior.
Reports suggest that the player involved may have been “overwhelmed” and hastily “spammed” the button to end the ranked match. However, this justification does not resonate well with CĐM, leaving them feeling quite discontented. Currently, the controversy surrounding the actions of the Triết team continues to be a hot topic of discussion.
