Riot Games issued an official appeal in which it disqualified Natus Vincere 's Wild Rift roster from the European league. According to the studio, the team's playing coach made a replacement by transferring access to his account to a third party, which is expressly prohibited by the rules of the competition.
Context

The organizers of the tournament were made aware of suspicious activity regarding the account of Ospreay, NAVI's coach and reserve player, during their game against ViV Esport. The use of substitutions in this manner is prohibited by both Riot Games and the rules of the League of Legends: Wild Rift Global Competition Policy.
