The Esports Association has decided to expel "Tokyogurl" from the 2025 SEA Games competition.
On 16 December 2025, following reports on social media that Tokyogurl, a Thai esports athlete at the 2025 SEA Games, may have installed unauthorized software on her competition device, there were chances she would be banned for breaking the rules.
Moreover, Tokyogurl was caught showing the middle finger to the live broadcast cameras aired across ASEAN, despite her teammates trying to stop her, as this act was considered rude and disrespectful.
Recently, the Esports Sports Association of Thailand confirmed that Tokyogurl violated rule 9.4.3, resulting in her expulsion from the 2025 SEA Games competition.
