Ruling regarding semi finalists "Barns Babes"

After a thorough investigation, HSL Admins have determined that LPL High School League players Leri, Barn and Leribarns of Barns Babes have deliberately compromised competitive integrity in this league via account sharing, falsifying information and impersonation.

This is in direct violation of the LPL Anti-Cheat Policy. These actions will result in a forfeiture of any prizing from this league, disqualification from the current HSL Split 1 league, their playoff matches being overturned, and an immediate ban from all LPL-operated tournaments until 2021.
