Through their official website, Riot Games announced that Longzhu Gaming's toplaner, Khan, has been given a '1 game suspension' penalty. Along with it, the player was fined $920. The cause of the penalty was a racist comment that Khan had made in-game.

The following is a translation of the official text of Riot Games' announcement.

Summoners,
