Riot Games officially allows Yagao Scout at Worlds 2024
In recent days, the scandal between Scout and his former team has received a lot of attention from the community. Accordingly, Scout and EDG have such a serious contract dispute that this player is temporarily unable to leave China in the near future. With the fact that Worlds 2024 has arrived very close, the incident is causing Scout to face the risk of not being able to attend the upcoming big tournament.
The scandal of Scout is receiving a lot of attention
And on September 19, Riot Games made an official announcement of the above incident. Specifically, Riot allows Yagao to scout at Worlds 2024 when they know about the temporary former World Worlds 2021. In addition, Riot also shared that if this ban was removed during Worlds 2024, the scout was still allowed to participate in the condition that the organizers had to be informed before 72 hours when their next match took place.
Riot also issued a notice of Scout's case with the idea that LNG is still allowed to keep Yagao, but the scout of Scout is being negotiated and he will have to join the army immediately after the ban on the exit is lifted. LNG will also be informed 72 hours before their next match will take place if there are changes in personnel. Riot will also monitor all processes to ensure fairness for all parties
LCK audiences are indignant because of the way Riot Games solves the case of Scout
It should be known that before the official information mentioned above, the temporary Yagao place where the scout in Worlds 2024 was rumored a lot. Until Riot Games confirmed this information, it became the focus of the Lo Lo community with many mixed opinions. Among them, fans in the LCK area are extremely indignant because of the decision from Riot Games. Many gamers even turn to question Riot about the necessity of the “6 -person squad” law with the preparatory player.
“If LNG and World Championship this year, there will certainly happen a lot of trouble” – a player confirmed
“This means the existence of the official players does not mean anything. Is this a competitive sport?” – LCK audience shows disappointment
“Why do you need a 6 -person squad? Why do you need a young squad?
“There is no law that allows a team to use the player from another team but Riot agrees. In that case, it is time to give up the rules to ask the 6 -person squad” – another audience agrees
Not stopping there, some League experts also opposed the way Riot Games allows Yagao to temporarily replace Scout. Typically former BLV LCK – Monte Cristo when he thinks this will create a very bad precedent for the professional League of Legends village. “I do not understand why LNG is allowed to hire a top player from the team not to attend Worlds. This will create a bad precedent when the teams can build a full -star squad for a big tournament. It is LNG/Scout's fault and they need to accept that” – former BLV Monte Cristo frankly shared.
Former BLV Monte Cristo also agreed with LCK fans: “I do not understand why LNG is allowed to hire a top player from the team not to attend Worlds. This will create a bad precedent when the teams can build a full -star squad for a big tournament. It is the fault of LNG/Scout and they need to accept that”
Indeed, the above -mentioned objections are grounded when the laws such as the limit to close the squad list, the reserve player's registration … are to avoid the transfer market to fall into chaotic scenes. If not, the teams can use a large amount of money to hire excellent players in a short time to fight at an important tournament. At that time, factors such as identity, tradition or effort throughout the season of the teams will gradually be overlooked and the audience naturally does not want to see that happens.
Last year's T1 2023 World Championship made the audience completely convinced when they won the championship with a symbol of the team (Faker) and most players in this squad were trained by T1 itself.
Fairly, the scout's incident is a rather rare case, so Riot Games allows them to hire Yagao in the context of Worlds 2024 to be very close. However, Riot should also have essential additions of laws or manage deals more closely in the future. This has just avoided similar cases of Scout as well as helping Riot Games not to suffer the “public opinion ax” as it is now.
