  • [EU LCS] SK Gaming and Gambit Gaming Remake
    • This week's EU LCS  match between SK Gaming and Gambit Gaming was subject to a remake after an Aatrox bug reared it's ugly head. Here's a quick rundown:
      • Aatrox was picked by Gambit Gaming and, during the game, a bug was discovered that caused his W to proc every 2 hits instead of every 3.
      • There was a communication error between the referees and the players in regards to the rules
        • Riot expected the players to ask for a remake 
        • Players expected Riot to ask them to remake
      • In the end, they remade the entire game due to how early on the bug happened and it would be hard/impossible to determine the impact throughout the game
