Valorant Pro krea6on permanently banned from East Europe Competitive Valorant

Esports is taking in-game toxicity a lot more seriously these days. One Valorant player has just learned that firsthand. 

Polish tournament organizer Polska Liga Esportowa has announced on Twitter that they have banned Lithuanian Valorant player Vilius ‘krea6on’ Malinauskas permanently from their Valorant East: United and Valorant Challengers East: Surge leagues as a result of in-game toxicity. 

The action that led to this decision was a clip posted by NAVI content creator Marcus ‘SoMarcus’ Black. In this clip, you can hear krea6on can mocking Marcus for his facial twitches. Despite continued requests to cease his behavior, krea6on continued. Calls for krea6on's ban quickly ensued. Krea6on himself responded to the tweet negatively, but both the tweet and his Twitter account are now deleted. 

Polska Liga Esportowa didn't take long to take notice and respond. About four hours later, they posted a tweet announcing the permanent banning from the Valorant East: United and Valorant Challengers East: Surge leagues due to his actions. Given that this was krea6on's second offense, the decision was made to make the ban permanent this time, effectively meaning krea6on will be unable to play competitive Valorant in the East Europe region anymore. The third time isn't the charm here. 

Krea6on's first ban occurred last April after a clip surfaced of him remarking about a big gap between males and females. Riot Games quickly responded by banning krea6on from all official Stage 2 competitions. Krea6on issued a public apology about the incident (In a tweet he has since deleted), blaming it on his poor English. 

Krea6on has spent several years as a competitive Valorant player, notably spending time with Tundra Esports and last competing for VAMONOS. He has been a capable competitive player and was part of the 2EASY team that won both VALORANT East: United: Season 2: Stage 1 – Monthly Cup #2 and VALORANT East: United: Season 2: Stage 2 – Monthly Cup #1. They have been dominant this year in PLE, and with krea6on's permanent ban, that may have serious consequences for them. 

With his permanent ban in the East Europe region, compared with his controversial behavior, it may be impossible for krea6on to continue his professional career.
