MPL Indonesia released a statement following the postponement of the match between RRQ Hoshi and Aura Fire during the third day of Week 5.
The league said that the stoppage was due to sound leakage and equipment problems.
“To the MPL ID community, we would like to clarify regarding the postponement of the match between RRQ and AURA Fire on March 18, 2023, due to sound leakage and equipment problems,” opened the league’s statement.
According to the statement, a circuit malfunctioned which caused a problem in the communication system.
“There was a circuit that broke and affected the communication system mixer. This caused Clayyy’s in-game voice to leak to other RRQ players’ headsets, making the game confusing in the end. There was no communication leakage to other teams,” the statement continued.
“After investigation, it was confirmed that the damaged mixer was the main cause of the leakage. The backup mixer failed to arrive at the venue on time. Therefore, the decision was made to postpone the game based on league regulations,” the league added.
