What happened to Riot Games’ apology? Riot Games issued an apology statement for the MSI event

Why did Riot apologize? Recently, many lol players may have noticed that Riot Games suddenly apologized, and this apology seems to have something to do with the lol MSI competition. So what is going on? There may be many players who are unfamiliar with this MSI event, so let me introduce the ins and outs of this event to you.

Rist Games apologizes for the MSI incident

Foreword: After the League of Legends MSI game on May 15, the group stage finally came to an end. In the end, T1, RNG and G2 ended up in the group The top spot was the result that everyone had expected. Although RNG was ruled to rematch, out of respect for the audience and fans, they still persisted in playing and completely shattered doubts with a score of 9-0. However, what is unexpected is that after the MSI group stage, T1 made a big splash, that is, the delay number of top laner Zeus's first view was exposed. Everyone found that T1's delay has been between 21-24. The main reason is 22, which completely upset the LPL fans, because it really means that the delay in the live venues is lower, which seems a bit unfair to RNG, which has a delay of 35.

RNG was targeted, LPL was also stabbed in the back, and the on-site delay has always been lower than 35?

First of all, let me give you a rundown of the timeline. RNG was officially announced to be rematched at noon on the 13th. However, some fans discovered that the delay in the game between PSG and IW on the 12th was 25ms. Later, in an interview with Brazilian player JOJO on the 14th, he said: He felt that the PING value of the venue was only 20-25. Since he did not show screenshots or actual results, no one was particularly concerned. As a result, it was exposed on the 15th. It turned out that the on-site delay was 21-25. This seemed to imply that before and after the RNG rematch, the venue delay was 21-25. However, some players suggested that the PING value was higher than 35MS. As a result, this indirect This led to an RNG rematch.

But then someone uncovered a previous announcement from Riot Games. One of them said that the delay number displayed by RNG was higher, while the delay on site was only 21-25. This was just a display problem. In fact, both parties The delay is the same. As a result, not long after, someone uncovered Senior Brother’s previous live broadcast. In the live broadcast, it can be clearly seen that Riot did not have this announcement content at the time, and this content was added later! In the opinion of some water fans, this is because Riot discovered that the rhythm was getting louder and then secretly added content. It is considered an "adaptive announcement". This also really proves that RNG is being targeted and LPL is being stabbed in the back. Unexpectedly, it was done over and over again. RNG's latency is even higher than live.

Fist issued an apology, FAKER was questioned again

In the early morning of May 16, Riot officially issued an apology. Riot issued an apology for the trouble and worry caused to fans, and A detailed technical description will be provided later to provide more transparent information to the audience. As expected, this apology statement was criticized again. LPL players were still angry and expressed dissatisfaction with the treatment RNG received.

At the same time, FAKER and T1 players have previously hinted that the on-site delay is high and they need to adapt, resulting in delayed rhythm fermentation. As a result, after the Zeus 22 delay was exposed, FAKER and T1 were questioned again, and some began to have some doubts. LPL fans thought they provoked this rhythm, but they didn't expect the venue delay to be even lower, which is really a bit baffling. After all, T1 players should be more sensitive to delays.

Personal analysis summary

After the delayed exposure of T1’s top order, it will undoubtedly be a huge challenge for Riot’s credibility. If Riot does not make a subsequent statement that can convince the public, then The fairness of this MSI will become a joke.

However, RNG will undoubtedly receive more sympathy and support after experiencing the rematch, and public opinion will gradually come to RNG's side. This is undoubtedly a good thing. Of course, for most LPL viewers, they still hope that Riot Games will follow up. Completely solve the delay problem and don’t make other troubles. After all, LOL eSports is currently the most influential eSports event. Don’t destroy this golden brand. So what do you think of Riot’s apology again and the lower delay on site?

In short, Riot Games apologized this time because the fairness of this MSI event was not guaranteed. The delay between the rng and lpl teams seemed to be inconsistent. We casual players still It’s easy to say that for professional e-sports players, such a delay difference is too big. It can be said that it will affect the game to a great extent, so it is normal for Riot to apologize this time. I hope that the official can make the game fair in the future. Sex is guaranteed.
