Riot Games has taken decisive action against LCK<\/a> star Kim \u2018Clid\u2019 Tae-min, issuing a 12-month ban following an investigation into his inappropriate behaviour. <\/p>\n

This suspension follows a controversy that emerged during the LCK 2023 summer split, where Clid faced allegations of sending explicit messages of a sexual nature to several women, including a minor. <\/p>\n

Riot Games conducted an investigation into this matter, which involved examining the leaked online messages and obtaining a statement from Clid.<\/p>\n

It concluded that there were no circumstances to suggest that the women who reported Clid’s behaviour encouraged it; instead, it was clear that they rejected his advances. <\/p>\n

The investigation also noted that making sexual comments to underage individuals is absolutely unacceptable.<\/p>\n

“The LCK Investigation Committee believes that the player\u2019s behavior requires strict action due to his recognized status as a professional gamer who must lead by example, and considering the gravity of the matter, the LCK Investigation Committee decided to suspend Kim \u2018Clid\u2019 Tae-min from participation in the LCK and LCK CL for 12 months,” the Riot statement read.<\/p>\n

Clid now has 14 days to appeal this ban to the South Korean Esports Fairness Committee. <\/p>\n

Should no appeal be filed, the suspension handed down by the LCK will become final.<\/p>\n

This ban extends to encompass all domestic and international League of Legends esports leagues, effectively preventing Clid from participating in any LoL-related activities for a full year.<\/p>\n

Clid, who flourished with T1 and Gen.G, enjoyed a lot of success, winning the LCK twice and going to LoL Worlds<\/a> in 2019, 2020 and 2021. <\/p>\n

Although he wasn’t able to secure the ultimate success in League of Legends<\/a>, Clid was still considered one of the top junglers in Korea.<\/p>\n

However, now that Clid is 24 years old and there are uncertainties surrounding his future as a professional player, this suspension raises substantial doubts about his prospects in the competitive gaming arena.<\/p>\n

\n

[Official] Following an internal investigation, Kim "Clid" Tae-min will receive a 12-month suspension from participating in all official LoL Esports leagues.<\/p>\n

This ruling was carried out in accordance with the LCK Penalty Index and can be subjected to reassessment within 14 days.<\/p>\n
