Time for them to eat crow. Even Thorin was pushing that obvious bullshit and now there's proof ROX was BM'ing based on the gender of the enemy team.
Ok.
I still hate the one from Vaevictis who signed 5 low diamonds female players to create controversy and gain viewers while not trying to win.
Wow, it's almost like it should be no surprise to anyone that a bunch of guys in a male dominated sport acted super sexist and that was the reason they got warned. Not like that could have been guessed by anyone looking at the situation or anything, nope nope nope.
"Due to the decision being made during the game in the LCL League, I am afraid it is very difficult for me to voice my opinion on the matter. However, we can give you the true reasoning behind the disciplinary action towards ROX."
"In any professional League, a professional League of Legends team is free to go about picks&bans (Draft Phase) in order to implement their own strategy while also countering the enemy team's strategy."
"In the game between ROX and Vaevictis, which occurred on the 16th of January, it was revealed through ROX's voice chat that ROX used terms of discrimination, insult, and despise towards Team Vaevictis during said Draft Phase."
The main issue is that Riot didn't state the real reason behind their punishment when it was issued. Saying that the team was punished for banning five support champions (which clearly wasn't the case) just causes unnecessary confusion.
Not sure why they'd bother trying to hide the actual cause.
Who would have guessed?
It's such a big surprise, and absolutely nobody could have ever figured out this was why. Nobody at all.
That "article" is just a statement from Riot saying "yeah they totally broke the rules. We can 100% confirm that we are always right." I wouldn't call that "proof."
I'm not going to act like I really understand the situation completely, but from what I've heard, weren't all the girls support mains anyways? I mean sure, it was most likely BM, but I mean you can't say it was 100% out of place. edit: read the post, yepo seemed to be BM. RIP but I mean from someone who follows the pro smash scene, this isn't even the good dark tea, this is some light shit. Still fucked up though
