Team Afreeca Freecs penalized in LCK

Riot Games has penalized  Team Afreeca Freecs after two of its players dropped out of a game against Rox Tigers on March 19. Seohaeng “KurO” Lee and Dayoon “Spirit” Lee disconnected from both the first and second games of the series, leading to two separate cautions. The verdict means that Afreeca Freecs will lose a point off the back of their loss to ROX Tigers to end the week 0-2.

Riot will penalize Afreeca Freecs on Clause 9.1.1.8 of the LCK ruleset, which states that teams may be penalized if players disconnect without giving a valid reason. The same has happened to Longzhu Gaming and Samsung Galaxy in recent weeks.

Team Afreeca Freecs now sits in sixth place in the LCK with a 7-7 .
