Professional Valorantplayer from Dusgied, Wong “JayH” Jia Heng, is now hit with a provisional suspension from Valorant Challengers Malaysia & Singapore by Riot Games. This ban comes after JayH was accused of match-fixing in the game. The suspension will remain until JayH is proven innocent by the tournament organizers.
JayH is one of the well-known names in the Asian Valorant scene with multiple achievements under his name. The announcement of his ban came as a shock to the community. The organizers acted quickly in order to maintain the game's integrity in case the allegations turned out to be true.
The official statement also says that the allegation is from before JayH competed at the Valorant Challengers Malaysia & Singapore. This means that he was allegedly involved in match-fixing during his time at either Ninjas in Pyjamas or Bleed Esports.
An official statement from Valorant Challengers Malaysia & Singapore said, “Following a thorough compliance review, it has been determined that a member of team Disguised, Wong ‘JayH’ Jia Heng, is under suspicion of participating in match-fixing before joining Valorant Challengers Malaysia & Singapore”.

JayH responds to the allegations
With such a serious allegation on his head, JayH also responded and denied any form of match-fixing. In an official statement, he said, “I don't matchfix, and I have never participated in any activity involving it. Also, before putting this statement out, I wasn't informed about any ongoing investigation or verified anything on my end.”
“These allegations will hurt my reputation severely, especially since no due diligence was done in even contacting me to investigate beforehand,” JayH further added.
Following his statement, JayH has revealed that the organizers have reached out, and he is fully cooperating with them on the investigation. He once again denied any participation in match-fixing of any form in the game.
