Rocket League Esports announced on September 30 that the professional player Kofyr has been banned from Rocket League Championship Series tournaments and all other Psyonix-affiliated competitions until the end of 2027. The organization said the ban followed a breach of section 7.1.3 of the RLCS code of conduct.
Kofyr has been banned from Rocket League Championship Series tournaments and all additional Psyonix-affiliated competitions until the end of 2027 because he violated our code of conduct section 7.1.3.
Section 7.1.3 covers conduct that is disruptive, unsafe, destructive or harmful to other Rocket League users, and names harassing or disrespectful conduct and unlawful activity among the behaviour it prohibits. Psyonix did not publicly give further details of the incident, identify any complainants, or explain what evidence led to the decision.
How the allegations surfaced
The ban came days after a clip circulated online in which the streamer Bails discussed an unnamed North American professional who he alleged had touched multiple women at the RLCS Worlds after-party. The clip was shared by Delmin on September 27. Bails did not name the player and ruled out Diaz, Spacestation Gaming and NRG, but social media users began speculating that he was referring to Kofyr.
Kofyr addressed the situation publicly on September 28, apologising for making anyone uncomfortable with his behaviour. He said he had contacted the people involved directly, that he intended to donate to a charity supporting victims of sexual assault, and that he would step away from social media.
I have reached out to the people I made uncomfortable with my actions directly and my plan of action is seeking professional help.
His statement did not describe the specific conduct at issue and did not use the term sexual assault. The disciplinary announcement two days later is the only account either Psyonix or Rocket League Esports has given of the matter.
