==Mistreatment controversy==
{{incomplete|Citation needed on the Venia/Froot ban.}}
On June 30th, 2020, {{Sm|Jut}} would release a TwitLonger claiming that Venia was, in fact, a sexual predator who took advantage of women.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sra20s|title=Jut's statement}}</ref> Later that day, Venia posted a series of videos explaining how he was being accused for being a sexual predator, and that {{Sm|Froot}} had tried to have sex with him, as well as spreading rumors<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/King_Venia/status/1278086460361576449|title=Venia's videos}}</ref> about him sexually harassing other women in the community. The next day, Froot released her statement where she defended herself from the accusations. In her TwitLonger, she stated that everything between her and Venia were consensual, and that she had wanted to protect other girls from being mistreated by Venia as well<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sra2v7|title=Froot's statement}}</ref>. Contrarily, in a leaked [[Discord]] conversation, {{Sm|Epic_Gabriel}} said that at around 4am, Venia woke up to Froot "literally grinding on top of him."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/BubbyNE/status/1449083419040915456|title=Epic_Gabriel's Discord messages}}</ref>

Venia later released his own TwitLonger defending himself from both Froot and Jut.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sra3u9|title=Venia's statement}}</ref>.

Due to there not being enough evidence from either side in said controversy, both Venia and {{Sm|Froot}} faced temporary bans from multiple tournament series.
