While we do like for Awards to be generally positive, we can't bypass the dark side of the scene. Today in the Inven Global Awards, we acknowledge the latter: the controversies that negatively shook the scene or tainted it to a bigger or smaller extent.
Two days after responding to Adam, Upset made another post via Twitter sharing more of his thoughts after having a chance to reflect on the situation and how it played out.
Tragedy struck for FNC at Worlds 2021 with personal and family issues preventing Elias "Upset" Lipp from attending and Bwipo from being in top form. Even then, FNC showed us what they could have been — only a little too late.
Upset is returning home from Worlds 2021 abruptly and just before Fnatic's first game at the event due to an urgent family matter, a situation in which Fnatic has asked for privacy for its AD carry.
In the 2021 Spring split, Fnatic had what one may argue to be their worst split yet. From finishing at least top 2 alongside G2 Esports, Fnatic finished 5th place in the Spring. As a household name in

Perkz and G2 Esports accomplished many things together, and finding a suitable replacement for the former franchise face is an unenviable task. However, there are a few options that stand out from other available players who are best suited to take Perkz’s place. Let’s take a look at a few of these potential options and evaluate the potential value and likelihood of G2 Esports signing one of these three players.

Origen’s bumpy 1-2 Summer Split start was not what they had envisioned in Week 1, with defeats against the revamped SK Gaming and the Kobbe-empowered Misfits Gaming serving as early stumbling blocks in a new meta.

Leena Xu, President of esports organization TSM, faces controversy after screenshots from the team's Discord were used in a video by Duncan "Thorin" Shields. In one screenshot, Xu claims to have attempted to approach many players from Europe on behalf of TSM, and that the players she approached were under contract at the time of her reaching out. Inven Global has confirmed with a source close to the situation that organizations across the globe often go unpunished for the ways in which they circumnavigate certain rules when seeking to sign a player.
The bot laners of each region took their spots as the leaders of KDA in their respective regions. In the LCK, LPL, LCS, and the LEC, there’s an interesting trend in data (gathered up to the 17th), which is similar across all four regions. Bot laners of each region were in 1st place in KDA, and currently, there are two players that have a perfect KDA. In the LCK, All iN, the mid laner for Afreeca Freecs is a player that currently holds a perfect KDA. Previously known as SSUN, he only played two games in the league, so this data may not hold too much meaning. Even still, All iN played Pantheon in both of his games and with a total score of 5/0/13, he holds a perfect KDA.
