C9 Player Issues Apology for Xenophobic Remarks in LoL Solo Queue Prior to Worlds

Cloud9 Mid Laner EMENES Apologizes for Inappropriate Remarks toward European Pro Player

Cloud9 mid laner Jang “EMENES” Min-soo has issued a public apology for his derogatory comments towards European streamer Spear_shot during a recent solo queue match in League of Legends. EMENES took to his Twitter account to express his regret and apologize to his fans for his actions.

EMENES acknowledged the impact of his words and admitted that his behavior in-game was inexcusable. As a representative of his League team, he recognized that he displayed an unprofessional and irresponsible image. He also privately apologized to Spear_shot for his remarks.

Backlash and Controversy

EMENES faced heavy backlash from the League of Legends community after accusing Spear_shot of griefing and referring to him as a “disgusting EU streamer” during the solo queue match. Despite initially addressing his fans and expressing remorse, EMENES did not apologize directly to Spear_shot and instead defended his comments.

Spear_shot responded by revealing EMENES’ original chat messages and defending his own gameplay and actions in the game. The controversy escalated as fans weighed in on the situation.

Internal Investigation and Possible Consequences

Cloud9 has conducted an internal investigation and released an initial statement stating that they were handling the incident internally. EMENES’ recent apology came as a result of this investigation. It remains to be seen whether Riot Games, the governing body of League of Legends, will take further action against EMENES.

Preparation for Worlds

EMENES and Cloud9 are currently preparing for the upcoming World Championship, which will be held in Seoul in early October. It is a significant event for EMENES as it is a home tournament for him.
