JAKARTA - After the long drama match of Valorant at the Cambodian 2023 SEA Games Grand Final, the Indonesian national team decided not to continue the rematch when asked by the referee and organizers.
In the Grand Final match which took place on May 10, the Singapore team was claimed to have used an abuse bug that was very detrimental to Indonesia. Because his complaint was ignored by the committee, DelB and his friends finally decided to do a technical whale in the middle of the second match.
Because they decided not to continue the match, Indonesia will certainly bring home a silver medal for the country.
"The Valorant team decided not to continue the competition, yes, the fix got silver," said the Special Staff of the Indonesian Esports Executive Board (PBESI), Debora Imanuella to VOI when confirmed, Thursday, May 11.
Debora also revealed that currently all athletes, coaches and teams are disappointed with the referee's decision to consider Singapore's use of abuse bugs a trivial offense.
"They are disappointed but they are proud that they are doing this because they uphold fair play and sportsmanship. They have taken very bold actions," he added.
Meskipun demikian, Sekjen PBESI Frengky Ong mengaku bahwa sekarang bukan hanya soal medal, namun menjaga harkat dan martabat bangsa Indonesia yang paling terpenting.
"The children are all still crying. Very proud to have athletes and coaches like them, to fight together," Frengky said in his Instagram story.
"We Valorant athletes and coaches agree that not to continue the match, what we are fighting for now is not but the honor of the Nation and the State of Indonesia, and more broadly we fight for and maintain the sport of Esports which must have honor, integrity and Fairplay which must not tolerate any form of fraud, this will be a historic record for the world of esports that medals are not everything," Frengky wrote, based on what athletes and coaches said.
