MrBeast Ridicules Riot Games After Ninja’s Aide Doublelift Gets a Hefty Suspension Following $150,000 Showdown

Riot Games’ League of Legends is one of the most popular video game experiences of all time. Thousands of players log into the game every day, with almost 9,000,000 active players in the last 30 days. As a result, Riot Games obviously caught a lot of attention, including that of MrBeast, when they suspended a professional player due to a bizarre reason.

According to reports, a professional League of Legends player is bearing a suspension after he bad-mouthed the League. Following the same, YouTube star MrBeast also came forward to support the affected player. For the unaware, the League implies the League of Legends Champion Series (LCS), a professional league for the North American region. 2022 is the 10th year of the tournament.

Doublelift had an opinion regarding Riot Games forbidding Bjergsen from featuring in the utmost hyped MrBeast vs. Ninja LoL tournament. And apparently, Riot didn’t like Doublelift’s stance.

As fans know, MrBeast had challenged Ninja for a League of Legends duel, the prize being $150,000. The tournament happened on July 9, concluding with Team MrBeast winning the main games, and Team Ninja taking a bonus game. Although MrBeast’s team turned out to be strong, Jimmy was still looking to add Bjergsen to his team. Bjergsen currently plays as a mid laner for Team Liquid and is one of the most successful pro League players currently.

Moreover, MrBeast didn’t like Riot Games’ anti-sportsmanship attitude. It was bad enough that the company didn’t allow Bjergsen to participate in the tournament. On top of the same, they suspended someone on grounds of constructive criticism.

Many fans also shared their opinions.

Riot didn’t like Doublelift’s previous comment on LCS

Doublelift, who was a part of Ninja’s team in the tournament, had pointed out how Riot Games missed an opportunity to attract more LCS viewers. “Look guys, LCS is dying. Like, the viewership is… absolutely dying. There’s no denying it. Everyone knows it. Everyone can feel it.” Doublelift revealed while talking about Riot blocking Bjergsen from the tournament.

Doublelift also called out Riot for not allowing Bjergsen to play with two of the biggest content creators, MrBeast and Ninja. “Why would you not let one of, if not the, face of the League, playing an event with two of the biggest creators of the world? Literally the biggest creators in the world.” he said.

Doublelift also pointed out how Riot Games could have attracted a lot of viewership for LCS through this stunt.
