A female esports star and her boyfriend have been handed a prison sentence after being found guilty in court.
Naphat Warasin, also known as Tokyogurl, is a Thai esports player who was caught cheating during a major international tournament. During this tournament, she had her boyfriend, Chaiyo (professionally known as Cheerio), play for her instead by remotely logging into her account.
A Bangkok court found Tokyogurl guilty of cheating during the 2025 Southeast Asian Games. Since she cooperated with authorities and admitted to the charges, her six-month prison sentence has been reduced to three months in detention. Cheerio’s six-month sentence was also reduced to three months.
Both Tokyogurl and Cheerio were charged under Thailand’s computer crime laws and found to have violated the Computer Crime Act.
