Nerfed Akali & Aatrox Still Viable? GRF Chovy: “Most of the champions I use have been nerfed so I need to look for something else to play.”
Should the pros use nerfed champions in tournaments? Players at that level have to be careful with their decisions since every victory is extremely valuable. There are times where nerfed champions are played in tournaments, but that's usually only if their use is justified - either by the player's skill, or if the champion is still viable. There are a number of pro gamers who manage to surpass the new limits set on nerfed champions. CuVee, for example, picked Camille despite the series of nerfs she was hit with, and TusiN from KZ DragonX picks Rakan and Alistar, asserting that they are still usable in spite of their nerfs. Both Azir and Ryze were placed at the bottom of the win rate rankings for solo-ranked mid lane champs, yet they still appear every now and then in the pro scene.

KT Rolster, along with UmTi, made an official apology for the recent controversy he was involved in. On February 11th, along with a picture of UmTi's handwritten apology, KT Rolster posted an official apology on their Facebook. The controversy sparked when UmTi used the expression, ‘Hyung-nim, hyung-nim, ya' during his stream, which comes from a meme that mocks the deceased former president of South Korea. Following that, UmTi was questioned about whether he was a member of ‘Ilbe', a notoriously toxic Korean online community, which the meme supposedly originated from.
