Riot Games punishes TenTen for racist comments

Today, an internal investigation conducted by Riot Games regarding the Korean player TenTen has concluded. Following his admission of guilt regarding racist remarks, the company has suspended the player from the next 4 matches in the VCT league.

Recall that earlier this month, a scandal erupted between TenTen - now former member of Northeption and another professional player Saibani "fl1pzjder" Rahmad from Rex Regum Qeon. During a match, the players began to verbally argue, after which TenTen, considering his opponent from India, made several offensive remarks towards this country.

After the video from the stream gained popularity online, the Northeption organization announced that it was terminating the contract with the player and did not support his statements.

The racist comments made this time are unacceptable under any circumstances, and we take the situation very seriously. We sincerely apologize for any discomfort and concerns this may have caused.

Later, the player himself apologized and said that such a punishment is fully justified, and he is very sorry for what happened.

As a professional player and as a person, I deeply regret making unpleasant remarks. I also take the punishment from the team very seriously. I am truly sorry.

The investigation lasted almost a month, as a result of which TenTen is suspended from matches in the VCT, and his opponent fl1pzjder received a warning letter. It states that conflict situations are unacceptable for professional players and the next situation will be penalized with a fine.
