Although there is no guarantee that your team will win games, or even be competitive in the hotly contested League of Legends LCS season, one thing that is required to give you a fighting chance, is everyone needs to show up. Unfortunately for Gambit Gaming, it's just lost its AD carry Konstantinos “Forg1ven” Tzortziou to a four game ban, due to that age old problem with LoL: toxic behaviour.
Although Riot has made a big push in recent years to remind players that high level play does not give them permission to behave poorly towards their team mates, Tzortziou has proved repeatedly that he's a difficult person to play with. As PCG points out, he's been reprimanded for his aggressive communication before but lately it's reached new heights:
“In the last 30 days, he was reported in over 70% of his games, with 92% of reports received being for verbal abuse, offensive language and negative attitude – this put him in the top 1.5% of toxic players during this time period,” said Riot in a statement. “After investigating his chat logs we were able to confirm the trend the reports indicated.”
With just two games left in the LCS, this puts Gambit in a very difficult position. It's not exactly out in-front, so cannot afford to drop games at this crucial stage in the season, but being down your major ADC is a difficult obstacle to overcome.
“Even though we are frustrated by the fact that FORG1VEN is suspended for four LCS games effective immediately, we accept Riot Games' decision as they had provided sufficient evidence to validate their point,” Gambit said of the ban. “While we do not believe that remaining players on our team may be subject to a similar ruling, we will have a talk with them to prevent further incidents from happening.”

KitGuru Says: Although there's always going to be someone that screws up, it seems so silly to get yourself banned from a professional league for saying something stupid in your downtime gaming. You have a pro team to play with, why would you play with people you don't know?

Honestly, if he’s a toxic member of the community, he deserves a ban.
As for “You have a pro team to play with, why would you play with people you don’t know?” – all pro gamers play random matches with people they generally don’t know.
It’s a good way of working on strategies, encountering unusual plays… and possibly gathering some different ways of playing that they can pass on to the team.
The issue is when the player is abusive. The rules for a game count for everyone. No free pass for making the game your career. StarCraft and DOTA have had similar incidents. Counter Strike has pro gamers who “practice” while using cheats and have been banned for it.
Ultimately, if you’re going to make a career out of a game.. you should take extra care to stay within the rules of the game.
I play World of Tanks and World of Warships regularly, (some other mmorpgs irregularly) and frankly sick of these “my stats are better than…” or “noob team” from someone that died first, ban them all.
Specially if your a “pro” being a “dick” isn’t big and it isn’t clever.

I wish they would stop this stupid spam adverts that no-one in their right mind would ever go to. Talk about a con…I bet it would ask for you bank details, etc.
No don’t check that out, I’m just saying.
