The project attachments contain Vietnamese and English PDFs. Their covers show versions 14.09.2026 (VI) and 2026.09.14 (EN). The Liquipedia link above is a public mirror; we have not verified whether these supplied files came from that mirror or a specific PUBG URL.
“Khuyến nghị tất cả người chơi livestream cá nhân phải cài đặt độ trễ hợp lý để tránh bị lộ thông tin.”Translation: Players who stream personally are encouraged to set a reasonable delay to prevent information exposure.
The section also makes players responsible for risks from personal streams and requires cooperation with additional organizer checks. This excerpt concerns personal stream delay; it does not by itself settle use of information from someone else's stream.
READ FULL PDF PAGE“Tất cả Người tham gia có nghĩa vụ tự tìm hiểu, ghi nhớ bộ quy tắc này và mọi thông báo chính thức được đăng trên kênh Discord của giải đấu.”Translation: All participants must familiarize themselves with this rulebook and every official notice posted on the tournament Discord.
§4.1 also says additional organizer announcements carry the same force as rulebook provisions. This site has no archive of the pre-event Discord notices or guidance, so their exact contents cannot be checked here.

Several sources among Vietnam team members who participated in the tournament said the organizers had initially issued a ban of one year, then reduced it to six months after Himass and Tanvuu posted apologies. It was later changed to a permanent ban.
The account above was supplied by the site requester. We do not have original posts, screenshots or decision records confirming the earlier sanction lengths or when they changed.
The official notices archived here confirm the permanent bans but do not document the earlier changes. If this sequence is confirmed, organizers should explain the basis and process for each change.
