Perfect World issues a lifetime ban to former Newbee players and their organization
The Chinese company Perfect World, which hosts tournaments and maintains Dota 2 servers in China, published a letter. It said that the entire Newbee organization and all players involved in the fake matches would get a lifetime ban from participating in all competitions hosted by Perfect World E-sports and Valve.
Lifetime banned players:
Xu "Moogy" Han
Yin "Aq" Rui
Wen "Wizard" Lipeng
Yan "Waixi" Chao
Zeng "Faith" Hongda
In May 2020, there was a scandal: the Newbee roster players were suspected of participating in a fake match. Following an investigation, the Chinese DOTA2 Professional Association banned the organization and all its players from participating in CDA's competitions for life.
However, in October 2020, several banned players resumed their careers under the ink Ice tag and performed in 3 seasons of the Perfect World League. There was even a rumor that the team will be able to qualify for the DPC season.
