There was an interesting news lately that, according to Valorant Japan, during the Taiwan-Hong Kong Valorant Champions Tour match held on May 2 between S2 Esports and Ghost CommandoS, the match had been going on for an hour without any sign of GCS players joining the match server, thus the team was ruled to have forfeited the match and ultimately lost qualification with a score of 2:0.

According to KZ Seulgi, a journalist from the Asian region of Valorant, the main reason why GCS members were unable to enter the server in time was due to one of the member's addiction towards miHoYo's new game Honkai: Star Rail, which led to him failing to install the client in time for the match, resulting in elimination. When this tweet was posted, it was originally thought that the team would be criticized heavily, but the comments below were interesting messages such as "it's understandable."
