LMAO some girl at the register literally just asked me to spell my name I'm not sure if she was just bored trying to strike up conversation or what

also quick question about riot banning players; are they banning them from playing league entirely or just riot sponsored tournaments?

in what context?
sometimes one sometimes the other
its hard to entirely ban a player, the best u can do is ban their account (and maybe IP but I don't think riot goes there and it's circumventable)

Riot does ban accounts for toxic riot unapproved behavior, but generally problematic players are only baned from pro LoL and are subject to annual review of their unapproved status
When in doubt, just believe in yourself and press buttons

well I guess the point of my question is whether riot has legal control over the people that play their games

no just the ones who sign a contract in which riot pays them to advertise their game which includes clauses about not playing other games and maintaining standards of public conduct

Trying to stop them playing league entirely is merely a game of whack-a-mole and pointless especially since one would assume a professional player's main account is worth hundreds if not thousands of dollars in skins (and elo )

so if I'm understanding right, to play in lcs you need to sign an employment contract of some sorts? is that how they maintain legal control?

I mean basically all league tournaments are riot sponsored now so in terms of the competitive scene being banned from riot sponsored tournaments basically means that you can't play competitive at all (although you can still fiend ladder and join a competitive team once riot-reapproved like c9's new midliner)

Even if there were third party tournaments, its Riot that really own the players so they would still have control.

It's still pretty uncommon. I think only America uses this model of communist sports.
