Rocket League pro Kyle 'Scrub Killa' Robertson and his team Guild Esports have received competitive warnings from Rocket League developers Psyonix for breaking rules around team communication.
As reported by Dot Esports, during yesterday's RLCS X Fall victory against Team Liquid Scrub Killa randomly joined the voice chat of caster Adam 'Lawler' Thornton while the game was still going. While Lawler was not casting the Guild vs Liquid match, he was part of a watch party on Twitch, and seemed shocked to hear Scrub Killa appear in his voice chat.
RLCS X rules state that "teams will communicate with their opponents and Tournament Administrators in a designated chatroom during all online stages of the Tournament." The rules also make clear that "once a Match has officially begun, communication with anyone not designated as playing within the current Match is strictly prohibited and may result in immediate disqualification." Despite the potential ramifications, Scrub Killa decided to leave his team's official communication channel to talk with Lawler instead.
