All Female League of Legends Esports Team Ejected From LCL

Vaevictis, an all female League of Legends pro team who many believed to be nothing more than a feminist publicity stunt, has been ejected from the LCL (League of Legends Continental League, a pro LoL tournament by Riot Games Russia) for their consistently poor performance.

During LCL 2019’s Spring Split, the less than impressive team secured last place and had a win rate of 0% – they had an average of about 26 deaths per game, and it is said that teams pitted against them would commonly play non-meta champions or perform “troll strategies”.

The LCL has now prohibited them from entering into the 2020 season due to their pitiful display, though if they are successful during the Open Cup, they will be granted the ability to enter into the LCL once again.

Many believe the team was created solely for the sake of generating headlines and attention with its angle of “female empowerment”, as evidenced by the team’s abysmal performance in competitions.

The fact that the team was ousted from the competitive event is likely shocking, considering the privileged treatment they had received from Riot Games – such as when pro team ROX was punished for banning all support champions during the pre-game ban phase (where teams ban certain in-game characters from play), despite most members of Vaevictis specializing in support champions.

Vega Squadron was also handed a punishment for “intentionally stretching out the game” in a match where Vaevictis lost 2 kills to 52:

Sure to instill shock in few, the League of Legends Reddit thread on the subject was locked after a moderator took offense to all the “sexism”:
