As a journalist, I want to see the results of that investigation. But I'm also curious if Riot, who will likely have the final say when it comes to administering sanctions to "Valorant" players, can find a punishment that will feel true to the spirit of upholding competitive integrity. And on that front, all I have are questions. Has too much time passed between the alleged infraction and now? Would justice be served if players were given a three month ban during which they streamed and made more money than they would competing?

When a virtually unknown, 14-year-old "Fortnite" competitor playing under the name sF Roller won a solo "Fortnite" Championship Series in May, earning $25,000 and shocking his mother, he had an important announcement to tweet: "thank you aim assist." Aim assist is a feature enabled for players who use controllers -- as opposed to a mouse and a keyboard -- that helps guide the crosshairs toward opponents automatically. It is added to compensate for the fact that aiming with a thumbstick is more difficult than with a mouse, a far more accurate tool. Roller's victory, aided by aim assist, set off a powder keg. After May's tournament, "Fortnite" pros and commentators heaped insults on players who use controllers.
