Riot Issues Mass Warnings to LoL Pros Over Unprofessional Behavior
Riot Games has issued multiple warnings to League of Legends professional players and coaches in the EMEA region for unprofessional behavior. The warnings, documented in Riot's EMEA Penalty Tracker on January 5, affected 12 LEC members and several ERL league participants.
All warnings cited "conduct unbecoming of an LEC team member" as the reason, though specific details about the infractions weren't disclosed. According to journalist Brieuc "LEC Wooloo" Seeger, some players indicated the warnings were related to their solo queue behavior, though none of the incidents appeared to be particularly severe.
This enforcement action aligns with Riot's history of maintaining professional standards. Previous disciplinary actions include:
- 2020: Fnatic fined 10,000 Euros for missing submission deadlines
- 2020: Astralis fined 5,000 Euros for management conduct issues and delayed payments
While Riot's commitment to maintaining professional standards is clear, the community would benefit from more transparency regarding specific behaviors that warrant warnings, even though these are detailed in the competition rulebook.
