Teabagging and shooting dead enemies "not desired" from EU VALORANT players

VALORANT esports is relatively still in its infancy, but there has been tremendous growth and storylines created between teams already. There has been several moments after big games where we see the likes of Jay "sinatraa" Won called out for teabagging and shooting dead enemies, and it has happened several times with other players in North America and Europe. It seems like tournament organizers in the latter region want to avoid the drama altogether.

G2 Esports’s player Patryk "paTiTek" Fabrowski shared one of the lobby hosts’ message prior to the beginning of one of their recent games, asking politely for everyone to avoid teabagging or shooting dead enemies after killing them. He explained the request is due to the behavior being “not desired during the broadcast.”

Considering how historical some of these trash talk moments are in other esports, namely Call of Duty and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, VALORANT needs these special and personal rivalries to fuel up players before their clashes. The decision to restrict what they can do in-game to each other after winning a straight up 1v1 might deprive fans from memorable moments in these tournaments. It is not clear whether this request was made only towards EU players or was replicated in other regions as well.
