Former World Worlds face lawsuits
As is known, in the context of Worlds 2024 has come very close, besides the last slot of LCK will be a competition between T1 – KT Rolster, the League of Legends community is also interested in a problem: The dramas are surrounding former World Worlds 2021 – Scout. The way between Koreans playing at LPL has been appealed by Edward Gaming related to the contracts of contracts from after he left the traditional rich team of LPL. In addition, according to some information from the LPL, Scout can even be led by LNG Esports (the current team of Scout's management) from the Drama -related consequences with EDG above.
There have been some new details revolving around the drama between Scout and EDG
Specifically, according to the information from the LPL, the case of Scout had Riot's intervention about EDG that only issued a request for banning Scout leaving China to LNG about 2 days ago. If in case the scout cannot go to Worlds 2024, this player will be able to sue because of the failure to complete the contract.
However, there is an equally important information: Scout's representative is said to have pressured LNG last year, to force this team to raise the salary for Scout as well as the “pumping price” of Scout's transfer when there is information that there is a big organization that wants to contact Scout. According to the LPL community, then LNG itself exposed this “conspiracy”.
“EDG has been contacted by LPL and informed about the ban on tourism (for Scout) since April.
“Last year, Supergent tried to raise the price (scout) by deceiving LNG that a major organization wanted to make a bigger offer.
Former Worlds King is at risk of “losing both lead and fishing”
The case of scout is not unprecedented, especially often occurs in orthodox sports like football. However, there is a truth that most of these cases make the player fall into a difficult position because the representative itself, is the players who cannot control themselves, while the representative company only knows the profit.
Scout is just a victim of his representative
“EDG manager: This is not a Scout's fault. Don't attack him or LNG. He is just a victim. Attacking that representative company. I think they have promised Scout that they will solve everything and now they start to do jokes when they cannot control anymore.”
With Scout, if he faces such a litigation, the possibility of going to Worlds 2024 is becoming so low that almost touches the bottom. In addition, Scout will also be difficult to stay in LPL after the season ends, because the two teams he is dragging into the drama, one is the extremely rich team, and the other is the most traditional team in China.
Scout is at risk of losing everything, from the opportunity to attend Worlds 2024 to the ability to play in LPL next year
But if he returned to LCK in the 2025 season, at the age of Scout (born in 1998), the possibility of him in the top teams is very low when Chovy, Faker or Showmaker, BDD are still there. If he joined small or small teams, Scout almost had to say goodbye to international tournaments. Until now, there has not been any light in the case of Scout and perhaps, the representative of the former T1 star “aging” for his lack of professionalism.
