As such, we will do what is necessary to protect the values of sportsmanship, integrity, and fair play in representing the country,&quot; Sibol said. </p><p>Jerem Malig, a content creator from Alpha Esports, earlier called out WPE for stream sniping, or watching a stream to monitor an opponent&#x27;s whereabouts while in-game, during his Facebook livestream. </p><ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/life/07/30/21/have-you-been-doxed-survey-looks-at-exposure-of-personal-data-in-online-dating">Have you been doxed?

For the people that we disappointed, I would like to offer my sincere apologies and we will strive as an organization to show what we truly are. Please expect better from us,&quot; team owner &quot;Waterboy&quot; said. </p><p>However WPE has yet to speak concerning the account sharing allegations. </p><p>The SEA Games esports tournament will be held in Hanoi, Vietnam from May 13-22, with nine gold medals at stake. </p>
