As a result, Heroic’s 13:10 map win was overturned, and NIP was awarded the victory. This incident marks the first significant case involving Snap Tap, leading to heightened scrutiny on player setups. It is expected that players will now be more vigilant in ensuring that such banned technologies are disabled, with some possibly opting to switch away from Razer keyboards to avoid similar issues in the future.
