Hey @drewlevin Iβve got an ideaβ¦
Riot should make a Spotify wrapped but for all the shit youβve ever typed in solo queue
Could cross-sell meditation apps
Here's where we are.
Fans sent us reports. A lot more than I expected, and the amount of detail you put in is incredible. To be honest, reading that much anger and hate all at once was really depressing...I owe some time off to our legal team.
Our legal team reviewed every submission so far. The cases that meet the legal bar are now with the players' agencies, and we have firmly requested they act. The legal bar, unfortunately, is very different from the moral one. That work has started.
Some people think deleting their post makes it go away. It doesn't. Thanks to your submissions, we have the originals. We have the history. The law looks at what you posted, not what you panic-deleted at 3am. However, deletion can soften how a case ends, but it doesn't change whether you're in one.
More reports are coming in. We're reviewing every one.
We said we would do something about this, and we are calling on every player agency to take action, not just for our players, but across the industry.
Our stance is clear. We'll do everything in our power to vet these submissions and make it as easy as possible for agencies to act, but they hold the keys to resolution.
This is one of the funniest things Iβve seen here considering the other big LCK orgs are literally owned by Chaebols or other massive corporations.
But somehow GenG, which is is only an esports company, is a no soul capitalist team πππ
Now let's talk about MSI, and why I wanted to establish that the criteria themselves are flawed before getting into this.
I still do not know why MSI, the midseason international event, wasn't in the criteria, while KESPA Cup, a preseason event, was.
So I pulled Riot's API and ran their own criteria stats across 2024β2026: EWC 2025, MSI 2024β25, Worlds 2024β25, LCK 2024β26, and First Stand 2025β26.
The result: Kiin ranks #1 in Overall (image 1), and clearly so. Include KESPA Cup (image 2) as well and the margin narrows, but he's still #1.
For a moment, I'm willing to set aside every concern about whether these are even the right metrics, and take their stat list exactly as given. Even then, the moment the event scope is wider, Kiin is the top player.
He only isn't #1 if the window stays narrow, limited to just their chosen list of events.
And you don't even have to agree with my earlier point that the metrics themselves are flawed. Even using their statistical metrics across a wider, fairer set of events, their own numbers put Kiin first. Kiin deserves better.
