DBDLeague has confirmed that Team Tremor has been disqualified from Season 9 for failing to rejoin within a set deadline following the discovery and ruling on a specific bug that referees found had triggered in a previous match. As DBDLeague Season 9 continues through June, the official body recently issued a statement explaining that Team Tremor, one of the competing teams, had been disqualified. To be clear, the official statement says that Team Tremor was disqualified for quitting the league’s voice chat and failing to rejoin within the given time limit. All this came about, though, because of a bug and the referee ruling around it.

The statement from DBDLeague was issued soon after Team Tremor was disqualified. It details the events as they occurred, showing how all teams were made aware of a bug that prevents Survivors from unhooking each other if the Killer is too close to the hook. That bug was triggered during a Team Tremor match, and referees subsequently decided that a rematch was in order. Team Tremor would be penalized, though not that severely. DBDLeague is clear that this decision was made in the interest of fairness. The bug is inconsistent and could have been triggered accidentally, which is why Team Tremor wasn’t penalized as harshly as it would have been in other instances and why a rematch was on the cards.
Team Tremor, for whatever reason, quit the DBDLeague voice chat after hearing the decision and never returned. As a result, it’s been disqualified from Season 9. The players have been suspended indefinitely in an effort by DBDLeague to demonstrate the integrity of the Esport. Twitter user Ahren posted a few videos showing the bug in action and Team Tremor being informed of the ruling. Multiple times, it was made clear to the team that they were not being accused of cheating or deliberately triggering the bug, but they quit and disappeared regardless.

DBDLeague is the closest thing to a Dead by Daylight Esport that you’ll find. In it, teams of players compete to achieve the best performance against each other in groups of five, split up into a team of Survivors and a single Killer. Not all players jump into the same match together. Instead, one team’s Killer will play against another team’s Survivors, and vice versa, and the results of those matches decide who emerges victorious. The Dead by Daylight Esport scene has struggled to get off the ground ever since the game was released. Bugs and constant Perk and Killer tweaks from Behaviour Interactive have made it extremely difficult to establish fair competition for everyone. However, DBDLeague seems to be doing a great job in its ninth season so far. Rulings like this might be difficult, but they do show the severity with which any potential cheating is treated.
Twitter user Ahren posted a few videos showing the bug in action and Team Tremor being informed of the ruling. These documented moments reinforce DBDLeague’s stance that the team wasn’t being accused of any intentional wrongdoing. It’s also worth noting that DBDLeague’s handling of the situation underscores their commitment to maintaining a fair and competitive environment. By opting for a rematch and a less severe penalty, the referees took a fair approach to an admittedly frustrating in-game issue.
Despite these precautions, Team Tremor decided their best course of action was to leave the tournament. Whether this was a split-second decision made during the heat of the moment or a more calculated move to protest the ruling is unclear, but the consequences are irrefutable. Their exit not only affects their standings but also serves as a critical reminder for other teams in the league about the importance of adhering to official rules and procedures, even when faced with unforeseen challenges.
The Dead by Daylight Esport scene has struggled to gain traction largely due to issues like these. Bugs, glitches, and frequent updates from Behaviour Interactive have made it difficult to maintain a level playing field. Yet, leagues like DBDLeague are crucial for fostering competitive play and establishing the game as a viable Esport. Despite the challenges, DBDLeague’s ninth season has showcased numerous teams and matches that highlight the thrilling aspects of competitive Dead by Daylight.
It’s worth considering that the disqualification of Team Tremor may set a precedent for future rulings. Players and teams will be closely watching how DBDLeague navigates these incidents, learning valuable lessons about sportsmanship and the importance of showing resilience even when things go awry. In competitive gaming, adaptability is key, and how teams handle adversity can often define their legacy.
As DBDLeague Season 9 continues, the league’s officials are likely to scrutinize future matches even more closely. With online forums and social media channels buzzing about the Team Tremor incident, it’s clear the community is paying attention. The outcome of this situation might serve as a litmus test for DBDLeague’s overall reputation and its ability to enforce rules impartially while maintaining player trust.
In conclusion, the disqualification of Team Tremor may have far-reaching implications for the Dead by Daylight Esport community. By sticking firmly to their rules yet attempting to fairly address the bug issue, DBDLeague is setting benchmarks for integrity and competitive fairness. Players and fans alike will be watching closely to see how the rest of the season unfolds and whether other teams will learn from Team Tremor’s experience. As the competition proceeds, the emphasis on sportsmanship, adherence to rules, and adaptability in the face of unexpected challenges remains more crucial than ever.
