Riot Games announced that the new agent Clove will not make an appearance on the professional stage in the near future, although her debut was previously scheduled for the second week of the VCT league.

Developers had intended to allow the use of the new agent in VCT tournaments at the beginning of the league's second week, but have recently announced a change of plans. The agent will now not be available on the professional scene until developers resolve certain issues.

While there is no official statement on the reasons for Clove's absence in the second week, the community speculates that the issue lies with the improper animation display of her smokes. Therefore, the developers have decided against adding her to the game for now, promising to include the agent once all bugs are fixed.
