He defended himself on Instagram after the match (and was translated into English by the journalist.) Ashley Kang), Öner said: “I didn’t exploit any bugs in the third game. I focused on the game and realized I was getting some extra punishment around 4-5 minutes. I thought it was weird and told the referee twice. But they didn’t say anything, so I continued.”
T1 CEO Joe Marsh comes to Öner’s defense after the jungler began to be criticized for playing with an extra Smite.
“It’s terrible that Öner has to defend himself… [the LCK] He could easily make a statement making it clear that what happened was not his fault and tried to raise the issue. “We support Öner 1000% and I hope the community will too. [T1] He will fight for Hyeon-jun!

“During the spring season, including today, stall issues are resolved much later than they should be,” says Faker (translated and transcribed by Inven Global). “It’s a shame the game is affected by it. We killed five people today – whatever the reason, we had to start over. It was bad for me as an esports player, but I think that this is an unfortunate outcome in the eyes of the fans.
“As a professional actor, I also feel bad that there are other things that are wrong, but they are not good. [Riot] don’t fix them. I was … [very] I’m frustrated with these issues in today’s game. Hope they fix these issues as soon as possible for esports fans and esports development.
Faker also adds that he hopes Riot “brings a better game to the fans” and thanks the remaining LCK supporters after the long hiatus.
