Husker I den klumme, som redaktør Frederik Olesen skrev tilbage i november måned? Netop dette burde enhver League of Legends entusiast tage op til overvejelse, hvis ikke de vil ende i samme situation som Copenhagen Wolves spilleren Konstantinos "FORG1VEN" Tzortziou.
FORG1VEN er netop blevet tildelt en bøde på 1.000 dollars, svarende til knapt 5.400 danske kroner, af Riot Games, på baggrund af hans dårlige opførsel i Solo Queue og på streams. Riot Games skriver, at FORG1VEN modtager bøden efter megen chikane, verbal mishandling og generel dårlig opførsel.
In recent months, Tzortziou has exhibited poor behavior, both in solo queue as well as on community streams. This behavior included, but was not limited to, in game harassment, verbal abuse, and general in game toxicity. Tzortziou was given multiple warnings by LCS officials, and despite acknowledging his behavior, he has made no subsequent steps to improve. He has received consistently more reports than any other LCS professional player, and also has the one of the highest harassment scores in the history of the LCS.
Riots eSports manager, Nick Allen, peger mod to sektioner af det officielle LCS regelsæt, der lyder på:
If LCS or Riot determines that a Team Member has violated the Summoner's Code, the LoL Terms of Service, or other rules of LoL, LCS officials may assign penalties at their sole discretion.
A Team Member may not engage in any activity which is deemed by the LCS to be immoral, disgraceful, or contrary to the conventional standards of proper ethical behavior.
Hverken FORG1VEN selv eller Copenhagen Wolves har været ude og udtale sig om bøden. Derimod har Erik "Tabzz" van Helvert, ADC for Alliance, givet sin mening til kende på hjemmesiden Ask.fm.
Her skriver han blandt andet, at der ikke findes nogen anden sport, hvor din daglige træning involverer fire nye spillere af forskellige niveauer. FORG1VEN er utroligt passioneret omkring sin træning og sit job. Tabzz skriver også, at FORG1VEN er meget rar, når han spiller League of Legends. Men Riot Games er deres chefer, og de må indrette sig efter deres regler.
