It’s not uncommon to see professional players cross paths in SoloQ and they usually trade a few spawns, but that’s not such a bad thing. There are only cases when these statements are completely false.It almost happened at the last soloQ where Selfmade and UNF0RGIVEN met.
Do you have salt in your score?
Before going straight to the facts, we must mention the reputation of the players. Although Selfmade has evolved over time, he still had a bad reputation early in his career. UNF0RGIVEN is known to have a high verb in soloQ.This has been mentioned several times. So a match between two actors can be explosive and theatergoers shouldn’t be disappointed. It all started relatively well, with only a few ADC bites from ADC to Team Vitality Jungler, only ADC was able to get Jungler back on their feet.And two, he continued to make extremely damaging remarks on his stream.
The actor then ended his remarks by showing one of Unforgiven’s bug clips from this season. The joke isn’t really good anymore, especially since the UNF0RGIVEN stats are far from perfect. The MAD Lions ADC is near the ADC rank when it comes to resource gathering, but near the bottom when it comes to damaging opponents and team vision.
Possible consequences
Although the publisher did not provide information on this incident, there could be sanctions. This won’t be Riot Games’ first response to statements from a soloQ pro player. Only in this particular case, Selfmade didn’t actually break the summoner’s code: it just claimed something based on fact. (even though the MAD Lions shortcomings had reasons other than their worst ADC and mid laner) and never directly insulted his opponent. If his speech is more than acid, he has the honor of remaining relatively polite, which makes him even more violent. The part that seems questionable is the statements about the atmosphere in the team, as it could be seen as an attempt to create discord in the opposing team by spreading rumours.
This event will undoubtedly reignite the matchmaking debate for a while. While most of the community finds it worth spicing up the game when it’s done well, there are plenty of performances on the subject every year, regardless of league. (Except LCK, where Trastalk is most watched). Has Selfmade crossed the line here? Even though the shared games of the summer between MAD Lions and Team Vitality tasted very spicy, this story shouldn’t have major ramifications.
