Jensen's bragging of DDoS attacking gamers.
Riot Games has issued a lifetime ban two professional League of Legends players for anti-Semitism, racism and abuse, while a third received a lesser year-long ban.

One player, Khaled Abusagr, was so bad, Riot stated "No player, before or since, has matched this degree of negative behavior," which included in-game verbal abuse, racism, anti-Semitism, and threatening behavior. The player had been a serious nuisance before his banning as well. Not only had his account been suspended five times in the past (including a two week ban in December), but under his previous account, DarkwinJax, he had been reported more than 1,000 times during a 375-game period (February-April 2012), which featured such charming behavior as threatening to physically injure other players and a Riot employee.

"His StunnedandSlayed account has been permabanned and all future accounts will be permabanned on sight," Riot stated.

Abusagr's Team Solo Medbi teammate, Nicolaj Jensen aka Veigodx had been permabanned for a consistent record of harassment, abuse, and poor behavior, as well as unapologetically admitting to commiting a series of DDoS attacks. Like Abusagr, he will be banned on sight as well.

Yet another Team Solo Medbi player, Simon Naslund aka Rayt3ch, has been banned for in-game verbal abuse, offensive behavior, and negative attitude with the worst harassment score of European accounts. However, his lifetime ban can be paroled in one year.

Glad to see Riot are keeping an eye on the players that are essentially salaried by them. These guys, no one could argue, had plenty of warning.

Good to see RiotGames got onto this, while Activision quite happily allow gamers to use the most vile of such 'conversations' to take place in "CoD" MP games. Dice are a bit slow to do so in "BF3", but the server admin usually kicks them then lodges a complaint, while EA are right onto it in "SW:TOR".
Strangely in "Star Trek Online" it's never seen, or if it is it's squashed PDQ.

Though it still took a while for Riot. I mean, when a player starts threatening ONE OF YOUR EMPLOYEES...

Happens all the time on "BF3" forums:)

Well you know how this works, if they'd been quicker people would have been complaining that they're banning people left right and centre and they're nazis and they DID dish out plenty of penalties in the hopes that those players wouldn't be so stupid as to keep it up.
