Riot Gamesin eSports-puolen edustajat yllättivät League of Legends -yhteisön eilen, kun ilmoittivat IWillDominaten saavan vuoden kilpailukiellon huonon käytöksen takia. Team Dignitaksen jungleri oli käyttäytynyt huonosti niin ranked-peleissä kuin itse tapahtumissakin. IWillDominate oli saanut Tribunalista jo seitsemän varoitusta ja rangaistusta ennen tätä päätöstä, ja sijottuikin negatiivisen asenteensa, verbal abusen, sekä ruman kielenkäyttönsä ansiosta 0.7 % huonoimmin käyttäytyneiden pelaajien joukkoon Pohjois-Amerikan-pelipalvelimilla. Kahdeksas rangaistus katkaisi Riot Gamesin selän ja näin IWillDominatelle määrättiin kaikkien pelitunnusten bannien lisäksi vuoden mittainen kilpailukielto League of Legends -turnauksissa.
Team Dignitas jatkaa pelaamista kaikissa turnauksissaan, mutta joutunee etsimään uuden junglerin IWillDominaten tilalle. Tämä ei ole ensimmäinen kerta, kun Riot Games kieltää propelaajan osallistumisen turnauksiin, vaan merkkejä nähtiin jo viime kaudella kun EloHellin pelaajaa Eryk "HosaN" Wilczynskiä kiellettiin osallistumasta Euroopan Season 2 -finaalitapahtumaan, koska hänelle oli langetettu rangaistus huonon käytöksen takia.
Monet propelaajat ja myös itse IWillDominate ovat kommentoineet kilpailukieltoa Redditissä mm. seuraavasti:

Team Dignitas IWillDominate:
Today i was informed by riot that I will be suspended for 1 year of the Season 3 Championship Series. Although the ruling is extremely tough, I agree with riot that player sportsmanship is a serious matter and I want to apologize to anyone that i've offended in game and my fans. I fully understand that pro players are viewed as role models and should act accordingly. I'd like to thank my teammates and the whole Dignitas organization for the amazing year that i have spent with them and wish the team the best of luck going into season 3. Personally I will not let this end my dreams of being a professional league of legends player. During my suspension I intend to keep my mechanics in top form and remain a competitive jungler. After my suspension i hope to rejoin the championship series and once again compete at the highest level. League of Legends is my life, and I will do everything in my power to play as long as possible.

While I feel for the guys over at Dignitas and especially Odee (their Manager) who is a fantastic guy, as well as team owner.
I don't know the extent of IWD's behaviour in or out of game, but I know that Riot would not enforce such punishment light heartedly - therefore I'd assume it's justified.
It's sad to see anyone act in a disrespectful manner, even more so a professional player who's behaviour is reflected onto the entire community. I hope this sets an example to other top players that may think they have some sort of 'superior status,' which makes them immune from punishment.
Obviously professional players are in the eyes of the public way more than most and we can also be easily provoked into acting uncharacteristically. However it does not excuse poor behaviour, especially on a recurring basis - this is a step forward by Riot in professionalising the LoL Pro Scene which they are very passionate about.

Maybe you should've thought about that AFTER THE SEVENTH WARNING?
