League Of Legends Pro Team Owner Chris Badawi Banned For One Year

The League Of Legends professional scene was shaken last month when Chris Badawi, part-owner of Team Dragon Knights (LCS) repeatedly solicited a player from Team Liquid to join his team. The soliciting was in violation of League of Legends’ tampering rules, which prohibits teams from “poaching” players from other teams by offering them more money. Apparently Badawi was warned repeatedly that his actions were in violation of the rules, but Badawi continued. As a result, Badawi has now been banned from being a team owner, coach, or manager for one year.

Nick Allen from Riot wrote that Chris Badawi has been found to have engaged in tampering on multiple occasions. “Given his repeated pattern of misconduct, we are declining to certify Chris Badawi as eligible to be an LCS owner and issuing a ban on him holding any officially recognized LCS team position (ie. owner, coach, manager) for the remainder of the 2015 season and the entirety of the 2016 season.”

Allen points out that players from the Counter-Strike team Renegades, which Badawi owns, are not implicated in this ruling. He says it’s up to the team to decide what they will do next. But for Team Dragon Knights and Team Renegades to be eligible to play in the LCS next season, Badawi will have to divest his ownership of both teams.

Even though Badawi didn’t engage in tampering during his time as a member of the league, ownership of League Of Legends teams is subject to being vetted on past actions to show they have the integrity that aligns with the league’s code of conduct. “Entry to the LCS is a multi-step process… this includes things like abiding by the Summoner’s Code and LoL – for prospective owners, this also includes vetting based on past actions. In this case, Chris Badawi was warned in writing by LCS officials that further tampering might challenge his entry into the LCS as an owner – the fact that he continued to engage in these behaviors shows us that he does not currently meet the professionalism requirement of being an LCS member.”

Allen says that poaching protections are important for the stability of the league and for the ongoing trust of players and spectators.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games

Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.

In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.

According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.

In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!

Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.
