Tourstat was expected to be a scam by many and it was


There was a tournament called Tourstat Summer Clash during September - October of 2020. It was 8 team invite only tournament (where apparently some teams even had to pay $100 to get invited) that had a 3000 GBP prize pool. Our team got invited last minute to replace another team that couldn't participate. Since there was not a lot of tourneys going around at that date we instantly accepted and started playing in the group stages. Made it out of groups, playoffs went well as well and we won the whole thing.

Now when we entered the tournament, some people reached out to us and warned that the tournament organizer is shady, there was already an article made by that time and it didn't look good https://anothervalorant.blogspot.com/2020/08/tourstat-invests-summer-clash-might-be.html

We expected that the prizes might not be paid in the end, so we took this whole tournament more of as a practice run + if we win something and it gets paid - that will be nice, if not - expected. However, it is quite sad that there are still people that are trying to steal and benefit from others in such a manner.

We as a team will not do any more investigations into this matter, maybe someone else will, but we just wanted to spread the awareness about this person who orchestrated the whole thing, maybe it will stop him from doing it again in the future. Today he deleted the Tourstat twitter and discord, the only thing that remains is his discord name#id and photo, which are all probably fake anyways.

While some people inspire, others conspire. Take care!
