LCP explains promotion-series remake and apologizes for communication failures

The LCP has defended its decision to order a Fresh draft during the decisive game between Ground Zero Gaming and Frank Esports , while acknowledging shortcomings in its communication during the interruption.

Ground Zero won the November 11 promotion series 3–2, retaining LCP team status for 2027.

League explains the second restart

According to the league, connection problems prevented two Ground Zero players from rejoining the original game. Officials initially restarted the game with the same picks and bans, but further connection problems interrupted that attempt.

The LCP said the restart had already reached the point at which its rules recognized an official game. Because both teams had seen their opponents’ opening movements, officials considered another restart with identical compositions an unfair information advantage.

They consequently ordered a New draft on a Singapore server, giving both teams ten minutes to prepare with their coaches.

Frank’s concerns remain

Frank coach MoonBlack and the team’s players disputed how the process was handled and communicated.

The league apologized for failing to keep players sufficiently informed during the delay and said it would clarify procedures for future interruptions. Its explanation Did not overturn the series result.
