In the FISSURE Special tournament, Parker, a Dota 2 esports player from Mosquito Clan, fell asleep during the game, causing the team to lose the game.
Parker was a substitute for Mosquito Clan in the match against OG on the third day of the FISSURE Special tournament. It is said that Parker took a nap between the draft and the first game.
As Parker was reported as AFK, the administrator initiated a 10-minute timeout. Because it was an online match, the organizers might not be able to contact Parker at the time. In the end, Mosquito Clan was forced to forfeit 41 seconds after the game officially started, which meant OG won 2-0.
After the game, Mosquito Clan issued a statement on social media, writing: "When the match with OG started, it was already around 5 a.m. in Peru, and Parker was not prepared to play Dota 2 all night."
"Unfortunately, at the most crucial moment, he simply did not have the energy to complete the race. The human factor is always unpredictable. We would also like to apologize to the organizers of Fissure Special for this unexpected technical failure, and to the fans who were looking forward to this game."
Although Mosquito Clan promised that there would be no more incidents of players sleeping in the next game, they ultimately lost to L1ga Team 1-2, which meant that Mosquito Clan's participation in this year's FISSURE Special Championship came to an end.
