No. 1 player on NA ladder rejected from Scouting Grounds due to TOXICITY

Kind of sad how obsessed Riot is with policing peoples' behavior. Reminds me of that whole behavioral system Tencent is rolling out in China.

This is why NA will never win worlds, we're too bitter.

Was going to make a cute joke about how rito cares a ton about this but doesn't care to check their own LCS first for toxicity, but too tired.

In all seriousness though, is anyone surprised by this? Solo-queue is without question one of the most hostile environments on the web right now (being up there with rust's environment and Dota2's russian servers), and this guy was basically the "king" of it for most of the year although he didn't officially hit "rank 1" until a week prior to the end of the season. The fact nobody decided to check anybody's match history for this stuff baffles me, as one look at it would tell you that him and like 40% of the players invited to the "combine" are attitude-equivalent of the bronze twats people deal with constantly in their games.

Oh, and with the number 1 ranked player "gone" can we effectively call this combine thing worthless? While it does give teams the ability to recruit "some" of the best NA solo queue talent it doesn't give them access to "the" best.

Tarzand is super toxic, but he's dam good (probably better than most lcs jungles)
