Alright, Now is This the Biggest Scandal in Esports?

by devaccess



The craziest scandal in League of Legends just got crazier.

We’ve got thousands of dollars in fines, perma-bans from Riot’s esports events, lawsuits, allegations of verbal and physical abuse, forgery and of course — shady contracts.

This story is getting crazier by the minute, and we’ve got a lot of ground to cover.

Why does it seem like Riot Korea is so FREAKING Morally Corrupt. This is not the first time they have to deal with shady team drama, as well as other fiascos involving streamers and/or the way they ban for toxicty, etc. They need a huge reform, for consistency in norms/ladder and outright better policing of the esports scene. The politicians getting involved might finally do something to help fix it, instead of Riot HQ's usually very slow reforms and slow interventions, as Riot HQ is based in USA a completely different nation than SK. Maybe Riot HQ can learn to prevent similar issues in other regions (with exception of LPL/CN due to Tencent's control of CN/LPL scene).

Thanks for the info, but I think the amount of language used in these types of stories is a little overboard and can come off as unprofessional to some so please consider dialing it back some for future news videos.

Interesting, but what about the game fixing and obvious inting in this year's League of Legends Worlds? I bet there is a lot more to it than people want to talk about.

In Korea telling someone that he doesnt have a mother or parents is by far one of the most serious offenses you can drop. Extremly Insulting

Cyricjess Cahilig December 8, 2019 - 11:57 am

Well the world don't except physical abuse but in Korea physical abuse is somewhat like traditional if you check there history its like one of a learning method

Really love these segments, from the meme-esque intro with the notes to the content covered with transparency and disclaimers from where you've gotten the facts. Keep it up!

dougiedoug3515 December 8, 2019 - 11:57 am

The coaching sounds like any coaching I ever received playing traditional sports minus the shaking a player part but coaches are absolutely gonna verbally abuse you if you preform badly just a fact of life.

I mean. It's impossible to trust the claims of either side tbh. The players want to protect their team, and thus the org and CvMax wants to salvage his career.
Let's hope this bad ass senator can solve it lol

According to Locodoco Manager Cho and the head of Riot Korea are best friends and the heat of Riot Korea opened his retirement ceremony. So basically they players were probably forced to make statements against cvMAx to keep their jobs and Riot Korea is involved in trying to cover up the Kanabi-Stuff and just punished cvMax for making it public.

NGL the "abuse" is some pretty weak shit, like the kinda stuff I would expect to hear from a freshman in high school LUL. Abuse is of course wrong however I see their culture and how they can never respond or challenge elders/leadership as the real agitating factor here, if it was NA cvmax would Have got layed out or immediately fired for misconduct.

in american football, coaches drill their players until the die and even then they don't really face repercussions. In League you get a lifetime ban when you insult someone as a coach. No wonder so many people see esports as a joke.
