Riot claims it flagged these shortcomings several times. Sheep Esports sources, members of KOI, confirmed that Riot had in fact raised concerns time to time throughout the 2024 season. However, the club was dealing with complications following its merger with Movistar Riders and MAD Lions KOI in January 2024, a move that caused significant administrative delays.
In January 2025, Riot reportedly sent the first real warning to the organization, notifying KOI of its contractual breaches. A few months later, in May, Riot met with Fernando Piquer, Chief Strategy Officer of OverActive, in Berlin to once again discuss these issues. idk if the article false or ibai blantantly lied about no warning from riot
