It is to some extent because there was whispers of CLG thinking about skipping out on Spring Split to try and participate in OGN and re-enter during Summer Split. Now that option is out the window for sure. Would have been at least interesting to see given that there's hardly any international tourneys anymore. Thanks for that Riot. | ||

No, that would never happend. They still would need to play in coke league to requalify. So ban mean shit. Now riot need to ban or fine Seraph/Lustboy for doing same shit in NA. | ||

At some point, day when you're going to be professional will happen. - We messed up and they had to borrow accounts to at least be able to play because of SSN or how is it called? - Well, yep, let's ban and fine them, they clearly violated rules intentionally, it's not our fault at all. By the way. Happy birthday, dexter! And Zikz, yep. | ||

It's against the EULA because they don't want people ELO boosting and sharing fully unlocked accounts, but clearly this wasn't what was happening. Riot had the choice to acknowledge their own mistake and asses their rules in a dynamic, non-literal sense, but instead they decided to enforce the rule tee and now look like assholes for it. | ||

Well, it's always double-edged sword, when you can either follow your rules without thinking too much on it and be right or just intelligently avoid hot topic and warn about it silently, without causing such drama and be right again. Nick Allen wants to be Adam Sterling, apparently, so we're here now. It's not like OGN ban hurts CLG too much with current rules of Coke Zero and 3/5 players in roster, but still. Also, i can't wait what will happen, if suddenly more than 3 guys from same team decide to retire, what will Riot do with it. | ||

Riot and Riot Korea are largely different entities. What CLG did in Korea breaks laws. | ||

Go to Korea for Winter season of Champions. If you get eliminated early, get back just in time to qualify for first Challenger Series. If you get to quarters/semis, skip on first Challenger Series and qualify for second, win it, win playoffs, get back to LCS. Alternatively: Doublelift, Seraph, Link, Moo and Dexter leave CLG and form a new team called Totes Not CLG. Totes Not CLG goes to Korea to compete in OGN. Meanwhile, CLG reforms with Nien, Hotshot, Chaox and some randoms. Sadly CLG does badly in season and goes to relegations. Thankfully, TNC disbands after one season and the roster is acquired by CLG. They re-qualify for LCS. Curtain. On a different note, it's pretty clear that Riot's rules are generally designed so that teams will have trouble with competing in different regions, so I'm not even slightly suprised that something like this happened to CLG. I'm glad something is finally happening though, maybe my I'll have my dream of an alternative 3rd party tournament circuit where the top teams will play in instead of staying on CS -> LCS -> Worlds route. | ||

CLG's spot would be voided by changing 3+ players in a single split. | ||

I doubt Riot would let people be subs on a team while being on a professional team in another region. In other news, worlds will be a private draw. I think it's unfortunate because of the hype drop, but I think people(reddit) needs to put the tinfoil away. http://na.lolesports.com/articles/2014-worlds-group-draw | ||

It's not that Riot Gaming's decision to hide group placements in fear that it will influence the qualification stages in a negative matter that is such a problem, but the fact that they went out of their way to host the World Championship in multiple places and seeded the groups to maximize regional diversity, and now claim that a transparency can be sacrificed due to the circumstances created by these issues that have NOTHING to do with competitive integrity, but still have the audacity to state that competitive integrity is of the upmost importance when we saw in the past time and time again, that they have WAY down in their list of priorities. It's just hilarious, and I have zero problem with people calling Riot Gaming out for what they are. | ||
