Shit is braindead I cant lie
he didnt even get banned for slurs, he mustve done something way fucked up
the fact that neither cane or riot is explicitly saying what caused the ban can only mean that publicizing that info will only make it worse, which is kinda insane
It must be one of the worst thing possible considering a pdf didn't get a single day ban in league from riot and was allowed to play in lck earning millions.
for reference:
everyone saying: yeah he got multiple warnings, he shouldn't fuck around and find out
i totally agree. However, valorant was his main source of income (from both streaming and being signed with NV)
this means this guy has to wait an entire year for income or have a job that probably will have a shit pay (yes that reality i know, i worked for 5 bucks an hour). Thats the main issue, what he has done is probably really bad, however is it 1 year ban worthy?
i mean if its that important to him and his life he shouldnt be jeopardising it by doing dumb shit, consequences have to be impactful for ppl to actually care about them
i totally agree with this!
and we will probably never know what happend (unless he will be talking about it himself)
i guess we will wait and see, the community is split in 2
1 say thats a bit too much
the other say that its mad deserved
i'm sure we'll find out eventually. cane nor the rest of the guys in envy strike me as the kind of people who would stay fully zipped up about something like this, and it's also possible riot makes a statement about it soon. given how he conducted himself in his past relationship though anything is on the cards tbh
yeah i agree
it's also possible that something was brought up to riot privately that didn't want to be made public, but i hope even in that case a little transparency is given rather than just dropping a 12 month ban like that
its a serious consequence and bringing it to light will clear if its a bit overkill or if it is justified
that's for riot to decide. playing valorant for a job isn't promised to him, and if they don't like how he conducts himself then they have the right to make that decision
i think it really WAS that bad, cuz cane of all people wouldn't have just accepted a bullshit decision like this if it was unfair.
now this is a good take
im praying we will be able to find out what the reason is
well he barely accepted it in the first place, he had to put out a manufactured pr statement for the first time in his life
not really he got multiple warnings and didn't listen they can't be having pro player doing weird shit while representing VCT
what did he even do tho? must have been some crazy shit for Riot to ban the future GOAT of NA
here is what i found:
"i've acted immaturely"
"i have said somethings i regret"
"especially in ranked i have acted immaturely"
TOS violation not mentioning what it is
this implies at least that slurs were involved but he might've made CP jokes cause alot of people say that looked into it say that was it and they say ion said he wasn't bad for slurs
and what we generally know about him the being said nothing is confirmed he probably did say slurs on stream or in ranked or a random discord but i won't be looking for it personally
TLDR; likely its slurs or CP jokes probably both
Taking away NA's best prospect because of some dumb ranked shit no one cares about is stupid from Riot.
yea man just let him continue to say dumb shit and then when hes in tier 1 and keeps doing it hes gonna cost the broadcast sponsors cause he cant stop himself dropping slurs in interviews, but its fine hes a good player so who cares, some of you ppl are genuinely dumb as rocks
do you not understand the concept of hyperbole, if he does dumb shit when hes in a tier 1 team, it will have consequences beyond just himself, and ultimately its better, not only for him, but for the scene in general that hes punished before hes in a position where it could fuck his entire team when he gets banned mid season, or fucks the entire league cause they lose sponsors mid stage and have to replace all the PC's or monitors and we get constant tech pauses because of it, when you play an esport you represent the company, the org, and the game, doing shit like this when your in that position will fuck so many people, not just him
need to remember he's just a kid tho and would have a better outlet to learn and mature being in a team environment meanwhile Zellsis still ripping it at the age of 40 and yet no ban for him.
why would he ever care to try and change if he doesnt get taught that its something he NEEDS to change
sorry my bad, i forgot on VLR ppl think that your dickriding riot when you think saying slurs and making rape jokes is bad
"no dont criticize the billion dollar company!!! i really like them!!"
im making fun of you for sucking riots dick not for insulting cane
fuck that kid idc about him
you can criticize riot all you want, but if the reason your doing it is fucking stupid im going to think its fucking stupid
also if hes "just a kid" to the extent he cant be trusted to not say slurs or joke about rape, then hes not old enough to wipe his own ass, its not a complex idea
his own teammate p0ppin was defending him making rape jokes and racism to his ex girlfriend using the same excuse. clearly he hasn't learned
12 montsh is overkill but its also stupid from cane like no way ur just gonna ruin ur career like that
honestly it's hard to have an opinion without knowing what he said, if it was too fucked up a 1 year ban is even lenient tbh
exactly, I've read a ton of comments about things he allegedly said. But in the announcement from both Cane and RIOT, they did not mention anything. No one is bringing proof and I'm just seeing copy paste comments.
I have no opinion until it is revealed what exactly caused this ban
