In League of Legends (LoL), 16 players and coaches were punished for violating the game’s rules, including Uzi, who is currently considered the best player in the world in League of Legends or at least one of the best.
Anyone who does not adhere to the code of conduct in LoL will be punished. Riot Games has now imposed these punishments on several prominent players and coaches. During routine checks, it was noticed that they exhibited toxic behavior.
What are the penalties? Four players received fines, while 12 were warned.
The interesting part: All of them are currently at the World Championships in South Korea and are competing there in the Worlds to determine who the best team in the world in League of Legends is.
To pass the time and compete with others, the pros play in the “Korea Solo Queue” during the Worlds. The random games there gain significantly in quality when the best players in the world join in. The Korean solo queue is already considered high quality.
Riot Games did not like this behavior and imposed penalties
Last week, a team of Riot employees checked how players behaved in September. The result is 16 players and coaches from 8 teams who showed negative behavior in the Korean solo queue, including Uzi.
Several fines for pros: For 4 players, the behavior was so negative that Riot imposed fines. The fines are as follows:
- Diamondprox from Gambit eSports – $1000 fine for negative behavior
- TheShy from Invictus’ – $1000 fine for negative behavior
- The coach of Afreeca Freecs – $1500 fine
- He receives a higher fine because he was reported for toxic behavior by other players in over 70% of his games in September
The highest fine: The most must be paid by Jian “Uzi” Zihao, who is currently regarded as the best LoL player in the world. He plays for China’s team “Royal Never Give Up.” They are considered favorites in betting shops to win the Worlds 2018 in League of Legends.
Uzi’s fine is $2000.
This is why Uzi has to pay a fine
Why is Uzi being punished? In the solo queue, the professional player was reported multiple times. Reasons included griefing teammates and intentional feeding. Griefers are players who take away the fun of the game from others. Intentional feeding means that a player gives kills to the opposing team on purpose so they can win the game more easily.
Uzi caused further problems: Griefing and feeding are not all the problems. Riot also found that Uzi used an account to play that does not belong to him. It was either purchased or shared with other players against the rules. This violates the terms of service and the summoner’s code of LoL.
Why is Uzi considered the best player in the world? Uzi is regarded as a mechanically nearly perfect AD carry. While it is difficult to determine exactly who the best LoL player in the world is, Uzi is at least in the running.
For a long time, it was rumored that Uzi did not have control over his nerves. However, in recent months he has made progress in this area.
However, during his solo appearance, he probably did not have complete control over his nerves. Often, griefing and feeding are signs that a player is “tilted” in League of Legends, meaning they have lost their composure.
If the 16 players are reported again and violate the rules, they can expect harsher penalties.
