Summoners,

We’re all very excited for the upcoming EU Regional Final at Gamescom taking place next week (August 16th~19th) that will have the best teams in Europe competing for their spots at the World Championship & Season Three Championship Series.

During our scheduled review of the final rosters of European teams, it came to our attention that Hosan of team elohell recently had his main account permanently banned from League of Legends by our Tribunal system. This discovery caused us great concern as our expectation is that all players will abide by the Summoner’s Code and maintain a sense of fair play and sportsmanship while competing online and at live events.

Upon further review from our eSports team, we confirmed the assessment by the Tribunal and have decided that Hosan will receive a one-tournament suspension as his online conduct is behavior that would be penalized at any and all official Riot Tournaments. The suspension will be served during the EU Regional Final.

We have informed team elohell of the decision, and we are happy to hear that they will still be participating in the tournament with an eligible substitute.

Good to know. Both that the player gets suspended for his (mis)behavior as well as the tournament goes on smoothly with the participation of elohell regardless.

a surprising but very welcomed move. +1

I welcome the decision to ban a player from such a huge important due to him getting suspended by the Tribunal, but nonetheless I still wish the team elohell the best of luck in the Qualifiers!

See you next week :-)

What an donkey. Why play professionally and offend people (not sure if he did but he must have done something like that to receive perm ban). Just saying.

Awesome job, maybe it will set an example for other "pro players" that they too, have to behave themselves.
I applaud thee for the decision, Riot! /slowclap
