The team My Star has been disqualified from the Rift Legends Summer Split following a series of violations—suspicious rosters, weak accounts, fake broadcasts, and connections with former match-fixers.

A significant scandal has erupted in the Eastern European League of Legends scene: the team My Star (formerly Iron Wolves) has been banned from participating in the Rift Legends Summer Split after a wave of suspicions regarding match-fixing and the use of fake players. Tournament organizers reported the violations to Riot Games, and all the team's matches have been annulled.

Suspicions Began Even Before the Split Started

Before the start of the summer split, My Star completely changed its roster. The team barely met the LTR requirements (necessitating at least three players from the region), adding a substitute at the last moment. The newcomers were little-known—most did not have profiles on Leaguepedia, and their ranked ratings (mostly on EUNE) raised doubts.

• Balukos (top) — Master 14 LP EUNE, mains Corki, never played top.
• Kory (jungle) — Diamond 4 EUNE, mages in midlane, former CS:GO player.
• Lakatos (mid) — Master 167 LP, also a former CS player.
• Asphyxia (support) — Master 184 LP EUW, Heimer OTP with 117 games.
• Lesterik (sub) — Diamond 4 EUNE, changed flash key depending on the role.

Two of the players, Kory and LakatosD, were previously accused of match-fixing in CS:GO. Despite suspicions, the organizers allowed the roster to compete, promising to conduct an investigation.

Fake Broadcasts and Strange Gameplay

Once the matches began, the situation became even more absurd:

• The players didn't say a word throughout the match.
• Balukos played from a laptop directly on his bed—the webcam shook between games.
• "Looped webcams" raised suspicions—the footage could have been fake.
• In the first game, the players blatantly "inted": they walked into enemies and died without resistance. The top laner was particularly notable—you could bet on a handicap for opponent kills (+9.5).
• Player Ruf, known from the previous Iron Wolves roster, kept looking at a second monitor.
• In the second map, the team suddenly played "like pros"—the draft matched the pool of players from the spring roster. It is speculated that they were the ones playing instead of the newcomers.

Later, users found the LinkedIn of one of the players (Lesterik), and his photo matched the one shown as Balukos. This caused additional confusion: it's unclear if the real Balukos even exists.

Repeat of the Iron Wolves Scandal

The team My Star is the former Iron Wolves, who were already involved in match-fixing in 2023. At that time, two Chinese players intentionally threw games. The scandal gained traction, but the organization did not face serious consequences—until now.

After a huge community uproar, the Rift Legends league filed an official report with Riot Games, and the team My Star was excluded from the split. All their matches were declared technical losses.

This event has become perhaps the most ridiculous and simultaneously alarming episode in the history of the semi-professional LoL scene in Eastern Europe. The scandal only underscores the need for stricter player verification and rule compliance monitoring.

Stay tuned for developments and Riot Games' official response—the issue may continue to unfold.
