Riot Games<\/strong> has suspended Global Esports\u2019 head coach Preston \u2018Juv3nile\u2019 Dornon<\/strong> from all Riot-affiliated events, including the VCT, for 12 months following a breach of the Global Code of Conduct<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The ruling takes effect immediately, preventing him from participating in the rest of VCT Pacific Stage 1<\/a> as well. Along with this, Juv3nile will be required to complete executive training<\/strong> focused on \u201cconduct, respect, and professionalism\u201d before he can return to the competitive scene in 2026.<\/p>\n

Riot launched an internal investigation after receiving reports of potential misconduct. While specific details will be published soon, the ruling is allegedly related to inappropriate messages<\/a> sent by Juv3nile to multiple women.<\/p>\n

\u201cEsports professionals in our affiliated teams play an important role in representing our sport to the community, so we hold our players and coaches to a high professional standard both on and off the stage,\u201d Riot Games stated<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn particular, coaches and any individuals in positions of authority within the Riot Games Esports ecosystem, may be held to a higher standard of conduct given their influence in fostering and maintaining a positive environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Global Esports responded with a public statement, expressing full support for Riot\u2019s decision, while highlighting their commitment to maintaining a professional and accountable environment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe respect and support Riot\u2019s decision fully. At Global Esports, we believe that accountability and integrity are non-negotiable. No matter how difficult or unfortunate a situation may be, the standards of conduct and professionalism \u2014 both inside and outside the game \u2014 must be upheld at all times, by coaches, staff & players,\u201d Global Esports tweeted<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone associated with Global Esports and Riot\u2019s ecosystem is expected to meet the highest ethical standards. We are committed to maintaining a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment across all aspects of our organisation and the VALORANT Champions Tour. We are working internally to ensure the team remains supported during this time.\u201d<\/p>\n

The team\u2019s assistant coach Donnie \u2018Elevated\u2019 Chell also addressed the issue, expressing disappointment in Juv3nile\u2019s actions and asking fans to continue supporting the players, regardless of the current situation.<\/p>\n

He said:<\/a> \u201cAs for Juv3nile, it\u2019s a very unfortunate situation where one person\u2019s poor decisions have impacted many other people. I don\u2019t think he is a bad person deep down, but it\u2019s our responsibility as coaches to set a good example for the young people we lead; inside and outside the game.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the time of writing, Global Esports has not confirmed whether the organisation plans to appoint a new head coach or promote Elevated. <\/p>\n

Esports Insider has reached out to the organisation for a comment and will update this article once we receive a response.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
