The Esports World Cup announced that it has provisionally suspended Firefly following an preliminary investigation by the ESIC (Esports Integrity Commission). As a result, Firefly will be removed from the StarCraft II tournament at EWC 2025 and replaced by Asia qualifier runner-up Lancer (aka Cyan).
Earlier in June, Firefly was accused by Chinese pro Jim of participating in match-fixing, with Jim providing a very detailed account alongside screenshots of alleged financial transfers as evidence. Firefly had faced similar accusations in October of 2024.
