Ya está todo o casi todo decidido en cuanto a playoffs/relegations, falta por decidir posiciones y poco mas, pero esta la cosa entretenida para la última jornada entre TSM-IMT, NV-APX y el trio de C9-TL-CLG que están a ver quien aprovecha mas las cagadas de los otros.

Un clg vs tsm en semis y dejarles sin final a los de tsm y tener una final bonita vs c9 #TheDream

Hibachi

CLG se ha puesto las pilas cuando más falta hacía.

Ahora a ver si C9 tropieza y podemos acabar tercero, aunque el objetivo debe ser ese 2-0 que se presupone asequible para asegurar el cuarto puesto y a rezar.

Luego con pasar 1 ronda y plantarnos en semis hay muchas combinaciones que nos favorecen para ir como seed 2.

Seraph on his growth in NA: "I probably failed on CLG, to be honest. I disappointed myself and (was) feeling bad almost every time….I don’t think I’m perfect right now, but I think it’s way better than like two years ago."

Oh vaya, es un paco de manual y se siente mal por ello, pobrecillo.

Probablemente faileara el y el equipo

Y las responsabilidades no son del rookie , que llegó sin saber inglés y en vez de ayudar decidieron apartar del equipo (le hicieron el vacío tanto ingame como fuera de el, muy señor ese tal dexxter).

Quienes debían tirar del equipo no lo hicieron esos son los verdaderos culpables, seraph jugando cosas fuera de su pool y de meta porque dl así lo pedía (trist super rota y no la jugaba pq no salta instant xD).

Y el articulo de Jacob Wolf sobre el tema REN, recordad que es Jacob Wolf, pero bueno.

Parece que el lio es con Remilia (oh, sorpresa) y que Monte sigue diciendo que Badawi no tenia nada que ver con el ownership de REN ni de TDK, que solo era un trabajador (xddddddddddd)

Who watches the watchmen?

On May 8, Riot Games permanently banned one of the top professional League of Legends teams in North America, Renegades, in one of the harshest punishments ever levied on an esports team. The move potentially cost the team and its two leaders, Christopher "MonteCristo" Mykles and Chris Badawi, millions of dollars of future revenue and sponsorship opportunities.

Riot's rulings against Renegades, and specifically Badawi, who was already banned for a year for attempted poaching, are far more severe and come with more consequences than the rulings before it. Without third-party oversight or a transparent and consistent process, rulings such as this will be questioned in the future, especially with the ever-increasing influx of money into esports in general, and League of Legends in particular.

Additionally, some traditional sports organizations have become timid about investing in the LCS because it appears that teams can be forced out without proper discourse.

This story, reported over the previous two months, reveals how the investigation unfolded.

Since the LCS was established in January 2013, the league has made inconsistent rulings against some of its participants with no independent oversight. Prior to Renegades, the rulings have been mild. In late 2014 and early 2015, Riot Games fined North American squad Counter Logic Gaming $14,500 cumulatively for poaching Darshan "ZionSpartan" Upadhyaya and William "Scarra" Li. ZionSpartan, a player, and Scarra, a coach, were both temporarily suspended. Months later, Riot Games fined the European team MeetYourMakers €5,000 after the discovery of player verbal abuse and mistreatment of player Marcin "Kori" Wolski.

Citing unnamed sources in the May 8 statement released on Lolesports (Riot's official site), Riot alleged multiple cases of wrongdoing against Renegade players and owners, including claims that the Renegades purposely misled Riot in player trades, did not properly disclose team ownership, and mistreated their players. Team Impulse and Team Dragon Knights were also banned, but the cloudy circumstances surrounding the Renegades have raised the most questions.

The first allegation questioned the ownership of Renegades' League of Legends team.

Riot's unprecedented banning of Team Renegades (left) using unnamed sources has led many to question the League of Legends developer's process when doling out punishments. Riot Games
Last year, Riot ruled that Badawi tried to poach Team Liquid's Diego "Quas" Ruiz and Yuri "KEITH" Jew, banning Badawi from owning a team for a year. His punishment was Riot's first extended ban for tampering.

Upon qualifying for the LCS in August last year, the team incorporated under a different organization than its original company, C.B. Gaming LLC, which was co-owned equally by Badawi and Mykles. The new company, Mykles Gaming LLC, lists Mykles as the sole owner, with Badawi serving as its CEO, according to its articles of incorporation. In December, Mykles submitted a team agreement with Riot, echoing his articles of incorporation, which included Badawi's position as Mykles Gaming CEO. Each team must sign an agreement with Riot Games in order to compete in the LCS.

In its ruling, Riot Games alleged that Badawi was promised a 50 percent ownership after his yearlong ban is lifted. Badawi and Mykles, as well as their attorney and ESPN contributor, Bryce Blum, claim no such agreement existed. Riot refuted that claim, saying it was not a "long-form legal agreement" in a statement to ESPN. Riot did not provide proof to any party of the agreement they claim to be true, and this is the center of the ownership conflict.

Upon being notified of the ongoing investigation, Mykles offered an affidavit to Riot Games director of esports Whalen Rozelle, which stated that Mykles is the sole owner of Mykles Gaming LLC. Rozelle told Mykles in an electronic chat, obtained by ESPN, that Mykles did not need that affidavit. Instead, Mykles and Rozelle agreed to set a meeting with Riot and Renegades attorneys to discuss the investigation.

Less than 24 hours after that conversation, before the meeting occurred, Riot Games banned Mykles and Renegades. Riot also alleged that the conduct of the Renegades' management, specifically Badawi, raised "player welfare concerns," including "confrontations between management and players, refusal to honor payment and contract provisions, and failure to maintain a safe environment for all team members." Riot said this was corroborated by multiple sources to its investigative team.

One of the confrontations in the house was an argument between Maria "Remilia" Creveling and Badawi after she notified the team of her intention to leave the week of Jan. 31, according to several team members who were present. According to Mykles, Badawi threatened to deduct money from Remilia's salary to recoup money that Badawi had given her for medical procedures.

Badawi's threat upset Remilia, several members of the house told ESPN. During the argument, Badawi was removed from the room by Renegades coach David "Hermes" Tu, and then Badawi spoke with Mykles and the remainder of the staff that evening, Mykles said.

"I spoke with Chris Badawi that evening and we agreed that he had acted impulsively and emotionally in this situation," Mykles said. "We also agreed that his previous financial support of Maria Creveling was borne solely out of his generosity and had no bearing on her player contract with Mykles Gaming LLC; therefore, all associated payments should be made to her, and they subsequently and immediately were. I was also informed that Christopher Badawi had apologized to Maria Creveling that same day."

After the dispute, Remilia -- who could not be reached for comment -- requested to stay in the Renegades house until she found a new home, and Mykles said he approved. She stayed until Feb. 22, and then moved to the NRG Esports Counter-Strike: Global Offensive home in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The final allegation made by Riot Games claims that there was a corporate relationship between Renegades and Challenger squad Team Dragon Knights.

Badawi was a former owner of Team Dragon Knights, prior to his initial ban. Team Dragon Knights co-CEOs Chris Shim and Sean Shim, and their attorney David Graham, have given ESPN a copy of their operating agreement, which shows that Sean is the 90 percent owner and the remaining 10 percent is owned by Arena Online, a third-party tournament organizer that isn't affiliated with Badawi or Renegades.

Despite no corporate link of ownership, the teams did conduct in-house scrimmages between each other, mixing and matching players until both teams got the rosters they felt most comfortable with. The result was one trade between the two teams; Renegades acquired Shin "Seraph" Woo-yeong and Noh "Ninja" Geon-woo, while Team Dragon Knights acquired Cuong "Flaresz" Ta, RF Legendary and Alexey "Alex Ich" Ichetovkin.

In an April 21 email to Mykles obtained by ESPN, former Riot Games associate esports manager Hunter Leigh alleged that Renegades were misleading about their relationship with Team Dragon Knights, stating that players were continually traded back and forth. The alleged trades Leigh is referencing would be legal, but he claims Renegades were not up front about this; Renegades disagree with this claim and state only one trade was made.

Leigh also alleged that players were housed by their former teams after the trade, which is true in the case of Oleksii "RF Legendary" Kuziuta, who served only as a substitute for the Dragon Knights. In Riot's ruling, the company said: "Both REN [Renegades] and TDK [Team Dragon Knights] were found to have provided incomplete and/or inaccurate answers and documents to deliberately hide a relationship and interactions which exceed acceptable bounds."

Riot Games would not provide evidence for its allegations, citing the need to protect its sources.

#387 Oye, no sé si Badawi pagó porque le hicieran este artículo (tiene sus buenas partes de lamida de culo y de "Pobrecito mi Chris que no ha hecho nada malo y la están tomando con él") pero hay que reconocer que aquí mismo ya se comentó el tema de Riot y su transparencia a la hora de tomar este tipo de decisiones y que eso podría afectar en un futuro al LoL competitivo. Es cierto que gente como la de P1 viene de Paramount nada menos, pero ojito que Riot si quere atraer a más gente del deporte "tradicional" o del entretenimiento y la farándula internacional, quizá necesite revisar ese "Porque lo digo yo, el rey Rito, y punto, no necesitais saber mis motivos"

#389 No a ver que sí, que el artículo le lame el culo a Badawi y es partidista por todos lados pero gente así también tiene voz y hay que asumir que a veces te van a escribir esas cosas para recordarte que su dios Chris Badawi renacerá cual pasiva de Anivia y se comprará un equipo al que llamará "Dropouts" o algo así.

Pero eso no quita que lo de Rito no son solo ellos quien lo dicen y la empresa debería empezar a asumir que quizá sea el momento de soltar un poco la correa en algunos aspectos de su competitivo como este para hacerlo más saludable
