Global Esports issued a statement in response, expressing full support for Riot’s decision. “We respect and support Riot's 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 — both inside and outside the game — must be upheld at all times, by coaches, staff & players,” the statement read.

With Juv3nile sidelined for the next year, Global Esports’ coaching staff is currently reduced to assistant coach Elevated and performance coach Patathor8. In the event that a new head coach is not appointed before the team’s next match, it is believed that Elevated will assume head coaching responsibilities temporarily.
