Riot Games has announced the removal of Rich Gang from the Oceanic Pro League on Friday after ruling the team to have been in violation of the OPL Team Agreement.

All of the team's remaining games will be automatically forfeited until the end of the split. Their place in the OPL will be automatically awarded to the first-place team of the current Oceanic Challenger Series tournament.

The organization Rich Gang and its owner have been indefinitely prohibited from owning another team taking part in the OPL. In addition any team members who are not currently serving a suspension will be free to join other teams.

Riot cited "a lack of institutional governance over their players represented by the three separate player suspensions (first, second and third) for in-game behaviour, and repeated inappropriate actions on team social media accounts."

Riot added that despite being assured of a positive change from the organisation they had seen no improvement and have deemed that they were "incapable of delivering on those assurances."
