Wen “Kylin” Zheng, the jungler for Iron Wolves, and Shuai “Odin” Wang, the mid laner, have both been suspended by Ultraliga following their match against Team ESCA Gaming. The league has made it clear that teams are expected to perform at their best at all times during matches.
During the match, both players made suspiciously poor plays that raised concerns within the League community. Ultraliga and Riot Games will be conducting an investigation into possible match-fixing, as this form of cheating has occurred in professional League of Legends in the past.
Public evidence includes instances where Kylin wasted his ultimate ability and flash on a questionable play, and Odin failed to use his abilities effectively during teamfights. Despite these issues, Iron Wolves managed to secure a victory thanks to the outstanding performance of their top laner, Paweł “HeSSZero” Karwot.
Iron Wolves have acknowledged the unprofessional behavior of Odin and Kylin and hope that people will wait for the results of Riot’s investigation before passing judgment on the team and the players involved.
Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
