Too young to play? Amihan Esports might hire you.

The Wild Rift Philippines community was in a little bit of a stir recently following a Competitive Ruling that banned the Amihan Esports organization from all Riot Games esports for 12 months.

Individually, Karlll has been banned for 9 months, Christian Villegas has been banned for 12 months and Team Owner Francis Mariano has been banned indefinitely from all Riot Games esports.

To add fuel to the burning garbage pile, Riot Games has also forfeited all of Amihan Esports’ prize winnings from both the SEA Icon Series Philippines Summer Season and the SEA Icon Series Summer Super Cup.

Amihan Esports did substantially well in the recent Super Summer Cup, sporting a dominating 5-1 performance in the Group Stages before bowing out in a close BO5 against Vietnam’s SBTC Esports.

In fact, Amihan Esports did so well that some people thought that they were map-hacking. This was what spawned a Riot Games investigation in the first place. 

Some redditors thought the punishment was a little too harsh and many don’t see the severity of the crime at hand. But there was one that put it succinctly that rules are in fact, rules. Especially when the Amihan Esports organization put in so much effort into the forgery of documents of all things.

Amihan Esports published an apology with regards to this incident and even then, apparently took pride in the achievements they made with the fraudulent squad.

What did you think of this forgery incident? Let us know in the comments below.

Meme Monday: You’ve seen the Spider-Verse, now get ready for the Riot-Verse

It’s only midway through January and Riot is already treating us well with the release of two new characters: Neon from Valorant and Zeri from League of Legends (LOL). Even better, Neon is canonically Filipino, a huge win for Southeast Asian gamers! But we, like the rest of the internet, are seeing double – Neon and Zeri are practically the same person. Case in point: They are voiced by the same Filipino voice actress, have very similar abilities and look basically identical. We can’t help but think that Riot is trying to hint at something…a Riot multiverse, perhaps? It won’t be too far-fetched, since crossovers between both games have happened and Valorant’s storyline literally revolves around a second Earth from another universe. Alright, that’s enough speculation. This Meme Monday, we bring you PROOF of the Riot-Verse. Well, kinda.

Behold the multiverse theory! Neon and Zeri: one and the same?

The term ‘multiverse’ has been thrown left and right a lot lately. It’s been the talk of the town. While most have heard about this from the ever-growing Marvel franchise, gamers have noticed a similar happening in the esports scene.
