The verdict means that Afreeca Freecs will lose a point off the back of their loss to ROX Tigers to end the week 0-2.

Riot will penalize Afreeca Freecs on Clause 9.1.1.8 of the LCK ruleset, which states that teams may be penalized if players disconnect without giving a valid reason. The same has happened to Longzhu Gaming and Samsung Galaxy in recent weeks.

The ruling means Afreeca Freecs now sits in sixth place in the LCK with a 7-7 deficit.

Longzhu are guaranteed to survive for the summer split heading into the last week of the LCK with two games left. BBQ Oliver’s currently sit at 4-10, unable to catch the Freecs regardless of next week’s results.
