I May Support player Hankil "Road" Yoon has been fined $2,000 and issued a one-game suspension for using "racially insensitive language" while playing on Korean servers.

According to Riot, Road was investigated after one of his teammates on the North American servers reported him for verbal abuse. Riot then investigated Road's various accounts and found that he was reported in five of his last 60 games in NA and 22 of his last 168 games in Korea. Specifically, Riot found that in one game, played on Sept. 19, Road used racially insensitive language to harass a teammate twice.

Riot noted that Road did not use any specific slur, and stated that Road was not punished earlier because his account was not being closely monitored.

On Thursday, Road publicly apologized to Echo Fox mid laner Henrik "Froggen" Hansen for verbally attacking him during a solo queue match. Road admitted to telling Frogen to "go die" in chat during the game, though claimed that he was attempting to tell Froggen he was being ganked and killed every time he went mid, rather than telling him to die.

"The words 'go die' that I said to the pro was not telling him to go die but it was because he had so many deaths and every time he went to mid, he would get ganked and die," Road said. "My ability to communicate in English is very limited, which is why I said it that way."

This suspension will prevent Road from playing in I May's Sunday game against the Flash Wolves. I May do not have a support substitute listed on their official LoL esports team page. The team is currently 1-2 in Group B heading into their Week 2 matches.
