Global Esports Head Coach Juv3nile Suspended for One Year After Misconduct Ruling

Riot Games has officially suspended Preston ‘Juv3nile’ Dornon, head coach of Global Esports, from all Riot-affiliated tournaments for 12 months. The ban follows an internal investigation into a breach of Riot’s Global Code of Conduct, which reportedly involves inappropriate messages sent to multiple women.

The suspension begins immediately, ruling Juv3nile out of the VCT Pacific Stage 1. He must also complete executive training on conduct, respect, and professionalism before re-entering the scene in 2026.

Riot emphasized that coaches hold influential roles and must uphold higher standards of behavior both online and offline. Global Esports publicly supported Riot’s decision, stressing their values of integrity and accountability.

Assistant coach Donnie ‘Elevated’ Chell voiced disappointment, urging fans to continue supporting the team. For now, there’s no word on whether Elevated will take over the head coach role or if a new appointment is in the works.
