One of the female players on the CG1 team was accused of giving someone an account to be the one to play in a women-only tournament.
Riot Games supports the community of female gamers. This applies not only to League of Legends but also to the mobile version of the game, Wild Rift. The developers organize various tournaments, like the one that took place recently.
In one of the matches, the Chinese team CG1 and the European Formulation Gaming Queens faced off. One of the participants didn’t quite play like before. The trained eye of the professional players was quickly able to tell.
A cheater at a $25,000 tournament?
Riot Games values security and competitiveness in its tournaments. For this reason, they are properly secured so that no one can cheat. However, that probably wasn’t enough, and one team in Wild Rift was accused of cheating.
The action took place on November 5 in the playoffs between CG1 and Formulation Gaming Queens. The two teams consisting of women competed in BO3 to reach the grand finals and claim the grand prize of $25,000. Although the battle was fierce, CG1 emerged victorious and won 2 out of 3 matches.
One player nicknamed “Mirai” stood out in the match. She played really well and this aroused a lot of suspicions. Her rank in the ranking queue is D4 at 50% WR. Apart from that, she doesn’t play very often with the characters she presented in the matches against FMG. We are talking in particular about Lee Sin, where her form was at a high level. In addition to this macro, communication and clearing monster camps in the jungle differed strongly from what she does in other games. For example, she cleared Blue and Red perfectly.
In an interview with the dexerto portal, even the co-owner of the RiftGuides channel spoke out.
After reviewing the VODs with camera pinned on Mirai and comparing the accounts overall stats, performance etc. it’s very difficult to believe that we saw the same person that owns the account play on said account.
It seems rather unrealistic to say that after showcasing such skills someone can casually have 100 games neg. win rate in diamond four in solo queue
In addition, he added a few words about the difference in the levels presented at the rankeds and at the tournament:
Showcasing insane gameplay on a lot of different levels – however sometimes falling short mechanically whereas the macro game, decisions taken, communication via pings and overall structure of play are with ease top 10 ladder material.
A popular trainer from Wild Rift with the nickname MOZ1LLA also joined the statement. He quipped in two short sentences that anyone with a brain knows this and the eye test in this case is all too obvious. At this point, Riot has not taken any steps related to the issue. However, the community has its opinions and even names of people who may be involved are being mentioned. At this point it is worthwhile to refrain from making judgments yet, since even the organizer himself does not do so.
