TNC’s management issued a statement earlier this week, detailing Kuku’s punishment. There was a swell of support for the Filipino star from fans, players and talents alike. After qualifying for the Chongqing Major, TNC has issued yet another statement detailing the consequences of them competing in the major.
After talking to the organizers of the Chongqing Major, it was confirmed to us that the following may happen if Kuku will attend the Major:

The organizers also informed us that neither TNC nor Kuku is banned from attending the Major.
The statement represents a grim scenario in Chongqing, that has grabbed the attention of the Dota 2 community. TNC has also made it clear that they have not yet decided whether to compete in the Chongqing major in this climate, despite qualifying through the SEA Qualifiers.
In light of this, TNC has yet to decide whether we will continue playing in the event.

For now, we will be exploring all of our options.
We will update the community in the coming days about TNC's decision. Thank you.
At the time of writing, Valve has not made any statements regarding this situation. However, the Dota 2 community expects Valve to step in promptly.
