It guarantees they get removed from the RMR. Valve does not mirror faceit bans; so potentially, valve may not remove them for cheating. However, having a coach's input during valve qualifiers is directly against the rulebook.

So by outing themselves for a rule violation, they are forcing valve's hand into removing the team from the qualifier. Most of the players on the roster after hearing of droid's ban want to skip the RMR because of the ethical conflict of having (potentially) only made it to the RMR because of cheats. Honestly it is a very respectable move. Outing themselves and forcing valve to "do the right thing" despite the reputational hits they will invariably take is noble. Making what positivity they can out of this shit sandwich.

another day, another mediocre player choosing "wins" over improvement -_-

I agree with Valens on the mental aspect of the game. I know there are kids in NA advanced with mechanics that could take them to the top, but they lack the mental fortitude and/or social skills to succeed. I'm glad this is a focus, as it is often not addressed-- then we wonder-- "why does he look so nuts in scrims but bottles it in officials?". My six cents from the peanut gallery would be to keep the focus on the individual mental development, but as above said, move them to EU. You won't know how people perform unless they are put to the test. Real talk, if I'm "feeling it" I think I can hang with players of any level. But that's when I'm feeling it. And I'm sure that logic is taken even further with actual tier 1 pros. So rather than see how well they do in an ideal environment, see how well they do in an adverse environment. That's the best way to build a team with a solid skill floor. Anyone can win on their best day, but you have to be capable of winning on your "meh" days too. So by raising the skill level of practices, the pressure is naturally cranked up, and you will be able to better see and address these development hic-ups. Because it's hard to address holes in their mental when they're 2-0ing strife for the 57th time this month. Now let's see how everyone is holding up and who shows problems when they're down 10-1 to 1win on a vertigo scrim.
