Team News

Riot:

• Riot has released their 2015 Mid-Year Long-term suspension reviews where previously punished players are reevaluated. After review in accordance with Riot's long-term suspension policy, Incarnati0n and several others will be eligible for competitive play starting May 11th, 2015 ( in time for the upcoming LCS summer split).

• TL;DR from the full announcement:

"In accordance with our long-term suspension policy, we have reviewed Incarnati0n, DarkwinJax, Flaxxish, Shizoli, and the members of former Cloud9 Tempest. 

DarkwinJax failed his review due to ongoing toxicity and is having his suspension extended by 4 splits. 

Incarnati0n has displayed genuine reform over a prolonged period of time and passed his review, making him eligible for professional play starting May 11, 2015. Incarnati0n’s past permabanned accounts will remain banned. 

Flaxxish and Shizoli have made some progress, but still fall short of LCS standards of conduct. 

All of the former C9T members passed their review and will be eligible for competitive play starting May 11, 2015."
