G2A calls Riot’s League ban “heavy handed and potentially damaging”
G2A has today issued a statement in response to League of Legends developer Riot’s decision to no longer allow the game keys reseller to sponsor professional teams. The statement, obtained by PCGamesN, calls the move “heavy handed and potentially damaging”.
The key reseller sees the move as an “aggressive attack directed towards the entire global e-sports community in a failed attempt to dominate and control the industry.” The site also reckons this will have a negative impact on eSports.
Riot previously said they couldn’t reach an agreement with G2A. G2A says it has tried to find “many friendly ways” to work with Riot, only to be met with more demands, according to the statement.
“This is Riot’s final word [for Worlds 2015] and it is so unfair for the e-sport community worldwide,” the site adds.
Finally, G2A asked fans to voice their opinions about Riot’s decision on social media.

I don't understand why Riot did this, if it was a problem then surely Steam would have banned G2A for reselling keys cheaper?

fknvlink I honestly don't understand why people support Riot. They are such a terrible company. They are not hurting G2A, they are hurting their community and pro players. Like they don't care about their own game nor do they seem to care about how damaging they are to their own esports community. No replay system, the game has had the same client for ever.
How is riot a terrible company for banning G2A? G2A has elo boosting services which is against Riots ToS, and despite riot asking them to take it down many times they haven't. The ban is justified and well deserved IMO.
