League of Legends Competition Ruling: Olof "Flaxxish" Medin

Player: Olof “Flaxxish” Medin Date of Ruling: November 14, 2014 Subject: Suspension; Violation of Summoner’s Code. Facts Olof “Flaxxish” Medin participated on the roster of a Ranked 5s ladder team, Meloncats, that qualified for the Expansion Tournament. During the rigorous approval process that all players seeking to participate in the Expansion Tournament go through, it came to light that Medin has been demonstrating excessively toxic in-game behavior. This behavior included, but was not limited to, in- game harassment, verbal abuse, and continual use of racial slurs. Medin has been reported in over 31% of the games he has played in the last month, and 41% of the games he has played in the last three. Over the lifetime of his account, 56% of the reports have been for offensive language, negative attitude, or verbal abuse. Despite previous punishment and being heavily chat restricted during this period, his toxicity rose to be within the top 0.1% of all players on EUW, resulting in him being part of a small minority of players that did not receive ranked season rewards. Medin’s behavior has shown no improvement over the past months. Relevant Rules: Section 9.2.9 of the official Expansion Tournament ruleset states:

“A Team Member may not engage in any activity which is deemed by the SET to be immoral, disgraceful, or contrary to conventional standards of proper ethical behavior.”

Ruling: Medin has violated rule 9.2.9 of the Expansion Tournament ruleset. Competition Penalties: Medin is:

• Suspended from participation in the Expansion Tournament
• Suspended from Riot-affiliated League of Legends tournaments through the 2015 Spring Split
