Players from both teams and their fans have been arguing about the topic on Twitter since the announcement. Following the announcement, IGL of EQ Cerise, Amber, claimed that the accusations are false.
In a tweet, Amber stated that she “flat-out” denies the allegations, and the match was extremely close. Following this, she added that the player that was alleged of using a third-party tool was bottom fragging in the match, and it would be awful if the accusations came out to be true. She further stated that EQ Cerise would have won the map anyways.
I'm going on record to flat-out deny this. Our game against CLG was extremely close. The player in question who allegedly was using 3rd party software was bottom fragging that map. If it does come out that my teammate was cheating that sucks. We would have won the match anyways. https://t.co/aMTjDCC0eK

As mentioned above, Riot Games is investigating the matter further. If the accusations come out to be true, it might impose a permanent ban on the team or the player from VCT Game Changers.
After the disqualification of EQ Cerise, CLG Red will now advance to the Closed Qualifier Lower Round 1, where it will fight against Gen.G Black. The winner of the match will advance to Lower Round 3, whereas the loser will be eliminated from the tournament. Four teams have already qualified for the Main Event, and the remaining four will be decided with the conclusion of VCT Game Changers Closed Qualifiers.
