Cheating incident

Naphat Warasin, also known by the handle "Tokyogurl", was caught downloading an "unauthorized third-party software" during a team match between her team Thailand against Vietnam in the women's Arena of Valor match and was expelled from the tournament. The Thailand team withdrew from the tournament. A lifetime ban was imposed on Naphat by game publisher Garena while her talent agency terminated her contract. Thailand lost the game against Vietnam and was supposed to play the semifinals with Laos. Laos gained a bye to the gold medal match losing to Vietnam. ^{[7] [8]}
