LOL: Riot mocks the Worlds 2021 teams with an inexplicable lack of respect

Quiniela is one of the great incentives of the World Cup of League of Legends . However, this pick em that Riot Games prepares for Worlds has an important lack: begins when the main event arrives. Although it has been a request in previous years, the developer has decided not to introduce the play-in. A somewhat criticized decision that has led to an important controversy due to the explanation gives Riot Games itself on its official website.

Riot Games lacks respect for small teams

Although the probable reasons for the non-inclusion of the play-in are its accelerated format and the need to include two additional phases in the quiniela, from the official page in English have been thrown in the sense of humor ensuring that the reason is that no supported that party . A comment so unfortunate that it even omitted in the Spanish translation that you can find in the Spanish version of Esports website of League of Legends.

On the occasion of this unfortunate election of words, members of the community have pointed out that the developer should not belittle the teams involved in the first phase of the World Cup. Riot Games himself has insisted on considering the previous event as part of the competition, and his decision to make fun of the teams participating in him seems a bit contradictory. Even more painful considering that it is one of the few opportunities to dispute tournaments of this size for minor regions.

Even some members of the relay team of League of Legends have been very discontent with the decision of Riot Games. It was the case of SJOKZ , who pointed out that the play-in is an important part of the Worlds and that there are incredible equipment with very particular styles that deserve attention. A recognizable face of the LEC who, in addition, wanted to remember that Mad Lions could not overcome this first phase last year.

Although it costs to believe it, the play-in is the most important phase for some fans worldwide. Gigantic communities that are represented by minor teams. A case given in Brazil, where some of the highest figures are recorded in visualizations and that it has not enjoyed a team in the final phase of a League of Legends worldwide. Hundreds of thousands of spectators who deserve that their favorite teams are treated with the same respect as others .
