After rigging bets, these players won’t touch LoL for quite a while
It’s been a few years now that the competitive scene of League of Legends authorizes betting on the outcome of tournaments or on the various events of a match. However, this gave bad ideas to a handful of Turkish players who wanted to jump at the chance to blow up their personal kitty. Thus, several players would have joined forces to manipulate the outcome of certain matches, clashes on which they had bet beforehand.. Vigilant on this type of behavior since a similar incident within the Chinese league last year, Riot Games had the TAL (Turkish Academy League) in its sights, especially because the company had been alerted to suspicious activity.
Pushed to carry out the investigation, the company Riot Games recently issued a first verdict on his site and, for the fourteen professional players incriminated, the reprisals are equal to the wrongdoing. As a reminder, they had bet on the outcome of certain matches, on specific events (first kill of the game, player elected MVP (Most Valuable Player)) and even hired people so that they make noise during the match in order to distract other players. To serve as an example, Riot Games has decided to ban them: some have been suspended for several yearslike Efehan “361efe” Ordulu, suspended for 5 years, or Ahmet Ömer “chr1sz” Mutlu, suspended for 4 years. Others do better with just a few monthslike Yigit “Lenom” Kantar, but Riot Games has not yet returned all the conclusions of its investigation. Thus, the duration of the final suspension of eight other players remains to be specified.
