KODE5 has confirmed that project08 has been disqualified from the French Regional Final for cheating in the online qualifier.
The German team had originally secured one of the four spots for the French Regional Final after finishing in second place in the online qualifier, which took place last Saturday.

However, after carefully reviewing the tournament's demos, Orgalan, the organiser of the online qualifier, has decided to disqualify project08.

"We would like to apologize to the community and to the participating teams in this qualifier for the error made during the tournament," Orgalan said.

"In fact, one of our admins had little time and few means to clarify the situation instantly.

"After checking the demos thoroughly, we can say that the Germans used illicit means to win their matches."

According to the official announcement, the last spot will be decided through a match between emuLate and BLOODWAVE.1w.

This said, the final standings of the French KODE5 qualifier are now as follows:

1. France Dimension4
2. France don'Touch
3. France Against All Authority
4. France To be determined
