Scottish Rainbow Six Siege pro Jack ‘Doki’ Robertson has been banned by Ubisoft and ESL due to ‘severe toxicity’.
The Natus Vincere (Na’Vi) player’s account was banned by Ubisoft.
ESL has followed this up with a six-month ban on the esports side. Update: Doki was later unbanned in April 2020 after the six months and continued playing professionally.
ESL said in a statement: “Following Doki’s ban in Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege by Ubisoft for display of severe toxicity, ESL is honouring the publisher punishment and issuing the player a six-month ban for the Rainbow Six Pro League, Challenger League and its online qualifiers, the Six Invitational 2020 and its online qualifiers, as well as the ESL Rainbow Six Premiership and any other Rainbow Six tournaments operated by ESL, effective immediately.”
Although Ubisoft and ESL didn’t state the concrete reason Doki was banned, some say it’s because of racist comments he made in the game chat, as per this Reddit post titled: Why did Doki get banned?
Doki – who has previously played for UK orgs Vexed and MnM – responded to the ban with a string of comments on Twitter, saying he conducted toxic behaviour.
He said: “While I’m upset by the ruling, I respect their decision. I’ve always been a big believer that actions have consequences and I’m no exception.
“To all fellow players, let my punishment be a lesson to you. I assume there have been moments where you’ve lost control and said awful stuff in chat. Your words matter so be careful what you say, whether you’re an influential member of the community or not.”

“I’m at fault for past cases of toxic offences. People that know me or follow my stream will know that I’m not a bad person at heart. I can get emotional at times but there’s never any malicious intent behind my words.
“In the blink of an eye, my past actions cost me years of hard work. It’s devastating. Thank you to everyone once again, and sorry. I let you down and I let myself down.”
You can see Doki’s full response in this Twitter thread on the ban.
Thank you to everyone once again, and sorry. I let you down and I let myself down. The words that I was banned for do not define me as the person I am today.

I’ll continue to better myself in every way I can, not just over the past six months but beyond.
