There is a cypher camera bug that Riot’s official tournament players are prohibited from using. One of them is the following position which you can see in the image below.
Looks like Singapore has done this camera bug a few times giving them an advantage.
Chronology of the Cypher Bug In Game Valorant SEA Games 2023
From IG live, BTR Valezka, who is also the BA of the Indonesian national team, asked Indonesian player Kevin “Eeyore” Gunawan what happened in the game.
It seems that the bug was used for the first time in the 8th round and when it was used, the Indonesian team had informed the referee. But at that time, they did not respond at all.
Because of that, Singapore continued to use the bug in 3 rounds in a row. After that, when the score was 4-8 for Indonesia and had changed sides, Eeyore had to call for a technical pause because his complaints were not attended to.
After the technical pause occurs, the referee and the tournament delegate check for this bug.
Eeyore also said that even before the tournament, the Indonesian players had already checked with the referees and organizers for bugs that could not be used.
And indeed the bug has been confirmed that it cannot be used by the referee and organizers.
Chronology After the Technical Pause in the Grand Final
After the technical pause was carried out, the referees and tournament organizers responded to this bug problem.
Usually, referees and organizers already know what happens if a forbidden bug is used by a player. This has happened in VCT Indonesia where Alter Ego was punished by reducing their round points.
But this time, it seems like even the referees and organizers didn’t know there would be such a bug and didn’t know what to do to continue this problem.
From IG Richard Permana the rule book has written specifically about the bug camera to the Cypher agent. Indeed, Cypher’s camera has several bugs, because it can be installed in places where it is prohibited.
Also on BTR Valezka’s IG live, Richard Permana said that Singapore itself did not admit their mistakes even though bugs like this had been notified at the technical meeting between the Valorant teams who played.
“The rulebook is basically to be violated, if there is a holy book, if there is a problem, it takes 30 minutes to finish it. You have to strictly follow the scriptures. The referee was asked if he didn’t know there was a regulation… Then Singapore pretended not to know about the rule, even though the technical meeting had already been discussed,” said Richard Permana.
Why Can It Be Delayed 12 Hours More?
The referee and the organizers are still having a long discussion about what they should do at this moment. Where do they have to give a map point to Indonesia or repeat the game.
What Richard Permana is questioning is, this problem should be able to be resolved in 30 minutes if you follow the rules that the organizers of the SEA Games have written in the rule book.
But for some reason, they didn’t do that and kept discussing what to do.

What will happen?
If you look at some of the IG stories from the national team management, it looks like the match will be back again this morning. The players were asked to return to the arena at 8 am local time even though the players returned to rest at the hotel at 4 am.
Until the time this article was published, there was still no official update or decision on what would happen in this match. Will it be a forfeit map, rolled back or fully restarted.
Perhaps the most plausible result is map 2 Split will be rolled back to a score when the bug is used which is 5-5.
