No surprises hereRecapping the entire Doublelift vs. Riot Games debacleThe controversy began after the MrBeast vs. Ninja League of Legends tournament concluded. Doublelift revealed that Bjergsen was supposed to compete in the event, but Riot Games and the LCS intervened.The former Team SoloMid (TSM) ADC said:&quot;Riot and LCS blocked Bjergsen from playing in this event. He was supposed to be on MrBeast's team and... Look, guys. The LCS is dying. Like, the viewership is absolutely dying. There's no... there's no denying in it. Everyone knows it. Everyone can feel it.&quot;He added:&quot;Why would you not let one of, if not the face of the League, play in an event with two of the biggest creators in the world. Literally the biggest creator in the world.&quot;Fast forward to July 14, Doublelift stated that Riot Games had taken action against him by imposing a strike. According to him, the reason stated by Riot Games was because of him saying the phrase &quot;LCS is dying.&quot;Yiliang confirmed that he would not be able to co-stream the upcoming weekend of LCS:&quot;I got my second strike which means I can't co-stream this upcoming weekend of LCS. I know, I can't. Yeah, RIP the co-stream, guys. I'll see you for playoffs.&quot;Following this, the 28-year-old gamer sarcastically apologized for criticizing the declining viewership of the LCS.
