We shouldn't expect people to not have emotions, especially when it's proportional to the amount of shit galk his players received in-game. He definitely shouldn't be blamed because he didn't start it and it was just a half second finger lol. if for optics, they wanted to punish him, it should be just a fine and nothing more, like the rulebooks say and what Boaster got. Riot was out of line, the line they created 🥴

Bro knew he fucked up as soon as he raised the finger. Don't know why people are pissed at Rito. You can do whatever outside of the arena but in the arena, during live broadcast, you have to behave as a professional or be ready for consequence.

Giving them the middle finger as a coach is quite unsportmanlike, but banning him is a bit too much, imo doubling the fine is a better punishment.

For anyone asking what he did, it's just a middle finger towards C9...

Yeah but it clearly says in the tweet that coaches arent allowed to do that they need to be professional lol. For example imagine a team loses because of some stupid play and the coach goes and throws hands at the other team's coach idk? They need to control their feelings. But yeah MAYBE suspending from finals a bit too much

theyre just as part of the team as every player is
so ye they should be professional, as should every player per rules riot set (7.1.2 applies for all team members). Problem is when you have THIS kind of rivalry with so much trash talk between the teams, suddenly turning around and suspending someone for a minor (previously ignored) offense is rough.

Thing is we've had this discussion in the GC scene before with the tea bagging bans, so guess that's just GC where riot will randomly punish competitors
