Sadokist Suspended From Covering IEM Rio Major 2022 Due To Hotel Argument

Add as a Preferred Source

According to the Dust2 portal, the Canadian commentator Sadokist has been suspended from covering IEM Rio Major 2022. The ESL tournament operator made such a decision after the scandal involving Matthew Trivett that took place in the hotel for the players shortly before the start of the Legends stage. In addition, the organizers officially confirmed the information live on the first gaming day of IEM Rio Major 2022 Legends Stage.

Sadokist's suspension from coverage of the event reportedly came after the commentator was allegedly intoxicated, leading to an altercation at the players' hotel that required emergency services to be called.

We can confirm that there was an incident last night involving Sadokist. As a result of this, Anders became the commentator for the remainder of the tournament. We have no further comment and would like the focus to continue to be on the competition - ESL Comments

Thus, his slot in the commentary room will go to moses, who will work with his teammate Anders.

IEM Rio Major 2022 takes place from October 31 to November 13 in Brazil at the Jeunesse Arena and at the Riocentro convention center. As part of the championship, 24 teams from the CIS, Europe, North and South America, and Asia are fighting for a total prize pool of $1,250,000, ranking points in the BLAST Premier table, as well as tickets to BLAST Premier: World Final 2022 and IEM Katowice 2023 for the winner.
