Competitive Ruling: APX Eve

TL;DR: Eve is being penalized for using an illegal scripting program on the KR server.

Due to an administrative error, public posting of this investigation and ruling was delayed. The team and player were informed of the penalty after the conclusion of the investigation in May.

Context

On May 2, the Riot-provided practice account used by Jun-cheol “Eve” Seo was identified by Riot Korea’s Player Support team as using an illegal scripting program in multiple normal and ranked matchmade games. The account was immediately suspended, and the Riot Korea office spoke to Eve directly about the issue.  Eve admitted to using the scripting programs and took full responsibility.

Ruling

Per the Global Penalty Index, using illegal scripts carries a penalty range of 10-20 competitive months.  Due to Eve’s cooperation and the short period of actual script use, we are choosing to punish Eve for the minimum of 10 competitive months.  He will be eligible for review on May 13, 2017.  The final date is based the start date of the suspension.
