CONTEXT

During standard preseason sportsmanship checks of all players, Gleb “Luxi” Nakarikov failed to meet an acceptable level of in-game behavior and was banned from participating in the 2019 College LoL Season. This ruling was delivered privately to York University’s manager and directly to Nakarikov, per standard protocol.

Last week, York University registered Nakarikov under a new summoner name, “Room Temp IQ JG,” and started in their round 2 match vs. Carleton University.

Additionally, Nakarikov was suspended for one match during the 2018 College LoL Season for repeated instances of inappropriate conduct in solo queue and in scrims with other College Season teams. This is the third instance of him violating College Season rules, and repeated conversations with season officials has made it clear that he has no interest in reforming or attempting to abide by the season rules.
