Valorant pro player florescent has been accused of sexual assault by a former partner’s friend. The allegations have sparked serious discussions in the esports community, as florescent denies the claims and takes legal action.
Ava “florescent” Eugene, the first woman to play in a Tier 1 Valorant league, has been accused of sexual assault. The claims were made public by Marceline “karie” Carson, a former Game Changers player, who shared a detailed Google Doc describing the alleged events. Karie says she is speaking on behalf of a friend who goes by the name “Brick,” and the document paints a disturbing picture of what reportedly happened during Brick’s relationship with florescent.
According to the statement, Brick initially agreed to a sexual encounter with florescent, but says she later felt pressured to continue after experiencing pain and wanting to stop. Brick claims she clearly asked florescent to stop, but that florescent continued, causing physical injuries, including bleeding. The document also includes text conversations said to be between Brick and florescent, where Brick appears to express discomfort and pain, though the identities in the messages are kept anonymous for privacy.
