Halo Championship Series (HCS) officially said that after investigation, Sentinels player Royal2 will be banned for 45 days, and the points won by sentinels team since the beginning of the season will also be deducted.

According to the HCS administration, there is enough evidence that Royal2 deliberately bypassed Halo: Infinity's server screening process during the match, resulting in an unusually high ping value for the opponent, which delayed the game by more than four hours.
It is reported that the server of each game of HCS is determined by the automatic matching of the game, and the participants have no right to intervene. The game detects the ping value of each player and matches it to the most appropriate server, but Royal2 intervenes in the process manually.
