Fam143 have been disqualified from the closed qualifier for the Americas Minor after it was discovered that one of their players had a VAC-banned account to his name.

FACEIT did not disclose who the player in question is, mentioning only that he had a "secondary VAC-banned account", which he "failed to report before a set time."

Fam143 had earned a spot in the closed qualifier after finishing top two in the third open qualifier following a victory over The Entourage in the semi-final stage.

According to Dust2.us, David "⁠Xp3⁠" Garrido's side will be taking Fam143's spot in the closed qualifier, which will kick off in just a few hours.

Fam143's disqualification is the second VAC-related incident to affect the final qualifying stages for the Minor. Last month, Fierce Tiger were disqualified from the Chinese qualifier for the Asia Minor after fielding a player connected to a VAC-banned account.
