What Happens When A Bug Occurs in Pro Games? | League of Legends

League of Legends is one of the highest viewed esports. And although the game hardly ever has any problems at tournaments, sometimes a bad bug happens and the game completely crashes live on stage. Sometimes, Riot is capable of fixing the bug and the game moves on. But on the rare occasion that the bug cant be fixed, the game is completely lost and players are forced to play the game all over again regardless of how much time they spent.
Today we look at those times when the game crashed.

Selfmade bought GA on Lillia in the second game. Best banter in pro play ever. Really miss Selfmade in LEC

Just as a reminder, the DK coaches had no idea Faker used flash and were fine with remaking or chronobreaking games in general. It was after they learned that he used flash that they wanted the game to just continue. The DK head coach at the time was Daeny, someone known to have bad blood between T1

I remember losing a ranked game because of a Yasuo windwall bug, where it blocked all projectiles even though you were a mile away from it and nowhere touching it. Me, my team and enemy team saw it.
Bugs happen, but there needs to be a compensation depending on what happens. In a competitive type game, fairness should be a priority. Otherwise, where is the competitive aspect if there is no fairness?

6:20 I remember the pause. There are still vods in other languages, so I went to check.
FNCvsXL was the 4th game out of 5. It started at 20h, they made the pause and let G2vsRGE play, then remade the FNCvsXL at 23h

The time between the two FNC XL was 2 and a half hours, but there was another game being played between them, so it wasn't that big of a deal

If it was on ranked not even a ticket would save the LPs

The Faker issue is messed up because DWK only says no because it involves a failed flash....information they should have absolutely 0 knowledge of.

Riot: "Canceling matches"
Valve: "Fountain hook is a fountain hook"

Fanatic vs Exel was nearly had a 2:15 h break, was funny because i watched the stream the day and i only wanted to see this match xD

There's also another bug that was so big, T1 vs DK, a smite bug on Oner's Xin Zhao happened where the CD of smite wasn't right. It went on for too long, up to the point that Gumayusi's Kalista was super far ahead of DK's bot Lane. They choronobraked the game up to the start, losing Gumayusi's lead. But they still ended up winning tho. But still, a bit sussy on the referee's end.

I love the demolish proc bug on SION. I OTP him and it happens maybe one a 100 games and you have infinite demolish on the enemy turrets. One ends and another starts. This is basicly over for the enemy. I reported the bug countless times over last year but nothing is done. I wonder if it will pop out in pro play someday and ruin a game :)

1:37 " This is the Nexus. to winning the game of league, one team must destroy the opponent nexus.. Pretty Simple "

yes very simple indeed

[techpriestsgaming]

Old League was bugged. But with the new releases it seems that even Vandiril is fully employed reporting it all. Its a mess and it will only get worse. Nobody is going rewrite the code properly.

So let me get this straight on the last one.
The losing team got offered a free remake that made them win while the winning had to suffer?
That's BS

[cristinaguzman]

that ekko edit tho!!! Best league YouTuber ever

[HerkulesShhh]

4:00 The moment the other team get to know about the flash it has to get remaked. There was no vision on Faker so they have information they should not have.

2:36 What is he doing in the monitor? Why is he measuring it with ruler?

[borntoace]

Insane that 1 hour was used instead of just remaking in the faker game, how can a flash be so hardly contested, disrespectful to the fans thats trying to watch the game.

[vanrex]

Imagine both teams log in with Yuumi bots just to troll riot for being so trash

[zureSapphire]

real question, why doesn't EUW have chronobreak yet? Riot has the money to sponsor these events in the first place, they should perform regular maintenance and updates to the latest esports tech and add chronobreak to the places that don't have it yet.

i feel like if a game is already like 5 minutes or more there shouldnt be a remake just because it is unfair to the team that has the lead, if its smth before minions meet on mid, its okay to remake because nothing "really" happened, but after that there can be big differences even if its just 5-6 cs more or less this can make the difference in the first teamfight
