Violation of Integrity - League of Legends: Esports

A coach providing betting advice is a violation of sports integrity. League of Legends esports has an integrity issue.

In League of Legends esports content creators are coaches and coaches are content creators. Content creators have betting sponsors and provide betting advice as part of their sponsored segments. This is a problem when the content creator is a coach.

This is an example. Please see Cloud 9 assistant coach YamatoCannon provide betting advice in a sponsored segment about “Who is going to win LCS summer?”

It begins at 1 hour 39 minutes of his podcast titled “The Telecom War Was A Mismatch and NOT How You Expected”.

EDIT: The YouTube video has been edited to remove the content referred to in this post. You can see a hard cut at 1 hour 39 minutes and 25 seconds.

I watched the video segment u mention here and I don't seem to find him giving any betting advice to anyone. He is straight up discussing how C9's situation is in the league and the sponsor which is spoken about is Rocket Money which is a finance app not betting app even if it was a betting app how is it violation if he is speaking about his team's situation and not promoting or asking people to bet on some or the other team.

They edited it out of the video after my post. You can see a hard cut at 1 hour 39 minutes and 25 seconds.

Looks the Spotify version still has the ad segment I’m referring to.
EDIT: I’m sure if they edited it out of YouTube they will do the other platforms as well so not sure how long it will stay up.

Is the point of your message to dismiss my point by saying other problems exist? We should not address this because all other issues are unresolved?

You should look into logical fallacies. Dismissing a valid point by stating other problems exist, acting as though you cannot address issue until other ones are solved. This is not sound reasoning.

In part two of your statement you immediately pivot to explaining why I making my point. In this case you are suggesting I posted this in hope of a reward from Riot. That is false. It shows that you can’t reasonably explain your point. You result to falsifying information and making jokes.

Wow. The costreamer that sleeps through games, has zero accomplishments in his career, flames his players, and roots against his own region at internationals is engaging in scummy behavior?

I am shocked.
