Woman Fakes Entire eSports Career

A large controversy has been unfurling regarding an eSports competitor named Warasin Naphat, aka Tokyogurl. As a member of Thailand's national team for the 2025 Southeast Asian Games, she was participating in the event's Arena of Valor competition on December 15 when officials noticed a disparity between what was happening in Tokyogurl's gameplay when compared to the movements of her hands. Officials investigated, and it was discovered that rather than actually playing the game, she was instead using Discord to screen share someone who was playing the game remotely, acting as her. As a result, Tokyogurl was expelled from the tournament, and her entire team ultimately withdrew, even though they had qualified for the finals.

After the incident, Tokyogurl insisted upon her innocence, but more truth has since come to light. Another Arena of Valor eSports competitor who goes by Cheerio posted a video on TikTok revealing that he was the one that was actually playing the game that was being screen shared to her phone. He has apologized for the incident, alleging that he didn't intend for the incident to "escalate to this point and cause disappointment to many people" and said that he would accept the consequences of his actions. Since then, the only message Tokyogurl has shared was a brief message of "I'm sorry" on her Facebook account, apparently admitting to the cheating scandal.

Welp that sucks for the rest of her team. :\ It bothers me when people do things like this. Some speedrunners in the past have been caught cheating too, and it's always hilarious hearing them try to defend their actions.
