New information has surfaced about how BONK allegedly cheated during the VALORANT VCT 2027 EMEA Kickoff Europe Qualifier, and the reported method suggests the cheating may have involved the entire team.
Just a day after Riot Games disqualified BONK for using unauthorized cheating software, VALORANT coach alexRr shared information from a source he claimed was close to the team. According to the allegation, BONK’s coach was using radar cheats and reportedly shared a browser-based minimap with all five players, potentially giving them access to enemy positions during matches.
While Riot has officially confirmed cheating within BONK, the specifics of this alleged setup have not been independently verified.
In Brief:
- BONK’s alleged cheating method revealed: VALORANT coach alexRr claims BONK used a radar-based cheating setup during the VCT EMEA qualifier.
- All five players allegedly had access: The coach reportedly shared browser links that allowed players to view an enlarged minimap on a second screen.
- The radar had limitations: According to the leak, enemy positions were not continuously updated because of VALORANT’s fog-of-war system.
- Riot’s investigation continues: BONK has been disqualified, and all registered team participants remain provisionally suspended while Riot investigates individual involvement.
BONK Allegedly Used Radar Cheats Shared With All Five VALORANT Players
Following BONK’s disqualification from the VCT EMEA Kickoff Europe Qualifier, VALORANT coach alexRr shared new allegations about how the team may have cheated.
In a post on X, alexRr claimed to have received information from someone close to BONK who supposedly knew how the cheating setup worked.
According to the account he shared, BONK’s coach allegedly had wallhack or radar functionality enabled. However, instead of the cheat being limited to a single player, all five players reportedly had access to the information through individual browser links.
The alleged setup worked as follows:
- Coach-controlled cheats: BONK’s coach allegedly operated a wallhack or radar-based cheating tool.
- Shared browser links: All five players reportedly received links that displayed a dedicated minimap.
- Second-screen monitoring: Each player could allegedly open the map on another monitor while playing VALORANT.
- Enemy location information: The map supposedly displayed enemy positions when that information became available.
- Teamwide access: According to the allegation, every player could benefit from the shared radar information without necessarily running the cheating software themselves.
The source described the setup as an “Orbital Satellite view” of the minimap, suggesting that players could monitor information across the map from a separate display.
If accurate, this would mean the cheating involved more than an individual player secretly using unauthorized software.
Instead, the allegation suggests a coordinated setup that could have given the entire team an unfair informational advantage.
However, Riot Games has not confirmed that BONK used this specific method or that all five players knowingly participated.
How Did BONK’s Alleged Radar Cheat Work in VALORANT?
One interesting detail from the leak is that the alleged radar apparently had limitations.
According to alexRr’s source, the minimap was affected by VALORANT’s fog-of-war system, meaning it did not continuously reveal every opponent’s exact location.
The source claimed that positional information was updated when players were nearby or when sound-related information became available.
In other words, the alleged radar was not necessarily providing complete, real-time information about every enemy throughout the match.
Even with those limitations, access to information outside the normal in-game interface could provide a significant competitive advantage.
In a tactical shooter like VALORANT, enemy positioning is incredibly valuable. Knowing where opponents have been spotted, where they might be rotating, or which areas of the map are occupied can influence nearly every decision.
Teams could potentially use that information to make better rotations, prepare for pushes, avoid unfavorable fights, or identify weaknesses in an opponent’s defense.
The alleged second-screen setup is particularly concerning because players would not necessarily need visible wallhacks or other suspicious overlays on their main gameplay screens.
As of writing, though, there is no publicly verified technical evidence establishing exactly how the reported radar operated.
Riot Games Confirmed BONK Was Cheating During VCT EMEA Qualifier
The new allegations come after Riot Games officially disqualified BONK from the VCT 2027 EMEA Kickoff Europe Qualifier on November 8, 2026.
BONK had previously shocked the VALORANT community by defeating Aurora Gaming 2-1 on November 6.
Aurora’s roster featured established stars such as Derke, Boo, and trexx, making BONK’s victory one of the most surprising results of the qualifier.
The deciding match on Bind was especially memorable, with BONK recovering from an 11-3 deficit to secure a 15-13 victory.
However, the team’s tournament run came to an abrupt end after Riot’s anti-cheat investigation confirmed unauthorized software use.
In its official statement, Riot said:
“Further investigation by our team confirmed that a participant on Team BONK was using unauthorised cheating software.”
Riot subsequently disqualified BONK and provisionally suspended every player and registered team participant from Riot-sanctioned competitions.
The developer emphasized that the suspensions were temporary measures while investigators determined each individual’s involvement.
Importantly, Riot has not publicly identified the person responsible for operating the cheating software.
Could Every BONK Player Face a Permanent VALORANT Ban?
If the latest allegations turn out to be accurate, the consequences for BONK could be severe.
Riot’s competitive integrity policies prohibit not only using cheating software but also knowingly helping, enabling, or concealing cheating.
That could potentially expose multiple team members to disciplinary action if investigators establish that they knowingly participated in the alleged radar-sharing setup.
However, simply appearing on BONK’s roster does not automatically establish individual involvement.
Riot has made it clear that final punishments will depend on what its investigation determines about each participant.
The developer has not announced permanent bans for all five players, nor has it officially confirmed the alleged coach-operated radar system.
