Riot Inc.

The people in charge of the event and the rules of the league are getting together for a meeting.

In addition, the main person in charge of Riot's official event in South Korea was also present at the meeting.

The atmosphere was solemn and serious.

Player leveling is not a trivial matter.

Since the development of the League of Legends professional league, many players have been banned for big and small things, but there is only one player who has been banned for substitute training, and it is a permanent ban.

So when the news broke, Riot officials responded as soon as possible, and said that they would immediately launch an investigation.

Without even the slightest slack, they went straight to the meeting.

At this juncture, the Mid-Season Invitational has not yet ended, and the champion is about to be decided, which happens to be the time when League of Legends has attracted the most attention in the world, and at this time, the popularity is second only to the Series S World.

They had to take it seriously.

"For the sake of fairness and impartiality in various competitions, the purpose of our regulations is mainly to target two behaviors, the first is to impersonate other players to conduct professional events."

The person in charge of the Riot tournament looked around and said slowly: "But this kind of behavior is no longer possible in today's tournament regulations, and we have made it clear that in events with Riot authorization, no player is allowed to hide his identity with his face covered, and he must play with his real name." ”

"Another kind of behavior is to use profit-making transactions to beat the accounts of other players, undermining the fairness and justice of the Summoner's Rift, which must be severely punished, and the last player who was permanently banned was the reason."

Everyone present nodded, but remained silent, and no one expressed their opinions.

The tournament leader paused and continued: "Let's discuss whether Liwei's behavior is a substitute or not. ”

For a while, the conference room gradually became noisy.

Half of them believe that Levi is not impersonating and that there is nothing wrong with playing the game on his own, so it does not constitute a substitute fight, but the other half believe that this behavior has disrupted the balance of the game, and Riot should add an additional rule that stipulates that players cannot participate in other events by changing their ID before their contract expires, especially if it is cross-regional.

These people felt that Levi deserved to be punished.

As the leaders of various competitions, these leaders have some debating skills.

"I don't think liwei's actions upset the balance of the event, his opponent is not an ordinary player, but a professional player in the LCK, since he is also a professional player, at least in terms of fairness, it is very reasonable, and as far as I know, the four teammates of liwei at that time were just ordinary passers-by."

"I don't think that's the case, I remember he was wearing a mask, changing his ID and hiding his identity, as a member of the TFO team at the time under contract, liwei's behavior seriously affected the rules of the club and the league."

"Even if the club doesn't give a punishment, we, as the head of the official competition, can't let it go."

The debate continues.

"Alright."

The head of the department knocked on the table.

The room was quiet again.

"That's right, this kind of behavior is a kind of provocation to the alliance after all, so the punishment still needs to be punished, but the severity of the punishment needs to be discussed in detail, first of all, we have to establish one thing, that is, whether the KS Cup is an event that we have recognized and signed a certification agreement."

As soon as these words came out, some people in the venue immediately exchanged their heads, but at least more than eighty percent of the people agreed with these words.

The difference between any League of Legends event with and without Riot certification is huge.

As long as there is a Riot certified event, the first event leader in that region will be present on behalf of Riot.

The event can also be included in the history of Riot League of Legends events.

So even if it's a minor league with a lot of attention in each region, even if there is no spectator watching the game at the beginning, Riot's database can still find any information about the event.

And if it weren't for the events certified by Riot, then naturally it would not be their turn, and when the league was not yet mature, even Internet café events would be certified by Riot.

Why?

Because through the audition of the Internet café event, you can rush into the City Hero Tournament, if you stand out in the City Hero Tournament, you can enter the TGA, and if you win the championship, you can directly get the place in the LSPL minor league at that time.

This has an interlocking relationship with the official event, which is linked one by one, so in essence, it is not unreasonable for the Internet café event to be officially authorized.

It's just that with the event moving towards orthodoxy and commercialization, the Internet café event has become an entertainment event, and the LSPL quota only needs to be bought, and those who have money even directly bid for the LPL quota.

The current e-sports circle is closely related to money in terms of quotas, and it is no longer what it used to be.

The general manager's voice fell, and for a while all eyes fell on the person in charge of the event in South Korea.

The events in South Korea are, of course, in charge of the events in Korea.

Feeling a little dry as everyone stared at him, the person in charge coughed twice before handing out a stack of protocols from his file bag.

It's just that only one of the agreements is the original, and the rest are just copies.

The original fell into the hands of the official head of the company.

Copies are passed around one by one.

When everyone looked through it, the person in charge of the Korean government explained: "SK Group signed this agreement for the sake of a gimmick at that time, because the event meets all the conditions of our fist regardless of the venue or the rules of the event, and according to my authority, I only need to report the event to the headquarters in the future." ”

"I have the impression that I did report it, but the commercial event will not affect any of the company's main events, so I will put it aside at will."

At the conference table, a blonde woman with large waves spoke.

"In other words, this is a Riot-certified event, right?"

The person in charge put down the document in his hand and said slowly: "In that case......

"Wait."

As he spoke, the person in charge in South Korea took out another document from his file bag.

There were many copies of the same sigil, and they were sent out in the same form.

"This ......"

Seeing this new document, everyone present was a little dumbfounded.

There is a detailed document signing date on it.

And it was the day after the KS Cup ended.

This is a statement.

A statement signed after consultations between SK Group and Riot.

The main content of the statement was simple, Riot canceled the authorization, and KS Group readily agreed.

"What's going on?"

The main person in charge of the official Riot event stared.

Regarding these two contract documents, in fact, it is simple to say that it is simple, and it is complicated to say that it is complicated.

In layman's terms, in the first content, the fist is Party A, and SK Group is Party B.

In the second part, SK Group became Party A, and Fist became Party B.

That's the problem.

Where is it so easy to be empowered by Riot?

Therefore, Riot is relatively strict in this regard, but once authorized, in a certain clause of the agreement, it is restricted that Riot cannot unilaterally terminate the agreement, and if Riot wants to terminate the agreement, it needs to pay Party A a certain amount of liquidated damages.

However, from the second termination document, it seems that the termination was proposed by Riot, but SK Group did not charge liquidated damages.

This behavior is more confusing, and it stands to reason that even if it wants to be terminated, it is SK Group that initiated it as the first party of the second contract.

The person in charge of Korea laughed dryly: "It was the person in charge of the Korea Esports Association who approached me, and then I was willing to negotiate with SK Group." ”

"Because according to Riot's licensing agreement, after the event, all the KS Cup match videos must be kept in a database backed up to Riot."

But the Korean Electricity Association does not want these videos to be in the database, especially ...... The last exhibition game, although he won, but that shot ......"

The person in charge of Korea paused to continue, "SK Group has already made a lot of money through advertising and merchandise through this event, and for them, Riot's authorization is just a proof to invite the Orion team, and their purpose has been achieved, so after the tournament is over, no one will only care about whether it is authorized or not, and no one will pay attention to it." ”

"They didn't gain anything, they also sold the face of the esports association, and they signed this agreement naturally."

“OHmygod。”

The official head of the Riot tournament grabbed what little hair he had left.

He felt a little pain in his skull.

It seems to be a simple thing to do, but it has become complicated by the intervention of some people.

Is it because the player agreement is not clear and perfect?

Thinking of this, the general manager shook his head.

The rules and regulations of each competition area were finalized by him.

He wouldn't admit he was a pig.

If something goes wrong, then it must be the weather.

"What should I do?"

Looking at the silent crowd, the person in charge asked.

It is known that the KS Cup is not authorized by Riot now, so the gravity of the situation has been pressed to the point of almost dispensability.

So the question is, what should Levi do?

It's impossible not to deal with it, the club has exposed, TFO is a player in the club, but he is also a player in the Riot database.

But the treatment ...... To such an extent......

There was a long silence in the meeting room.

I don't know how long it took.

The person in charge of the main Riot event spread his hands: "Regarding the ruling of professional player liwei, he is banned for 3 BO3 games and fined 3,000 US dollars. ”

"Too light, right?"

There is a punishment radical whispered.

"Idiot, do you think a patient with ALS will need a team? Will he still play games? So does it matter how many games you are banned? Meeting! ”

The person in charge of the general who had been holding his breath stood up and muttered very quickly as he walked out.
