Frank Esports demands answers over disputed LCP promotion-series remake

Frank Esports has criticized the handling of its decisive fifth game against Ground Zero in the November 11 LCP promotion match, calling for an explanation from Riot Games.

Team disputes forced draft reset

According to accounts from Frank’s coach and players, connection problems interrupted game five around the 19-minute Mark , when the team had secured three dragons.

After an approximately 90-minute delay, Frank reportedly chose to retain the original draft. A further unsuccessful restart was followed by a server change and an instruction to conduct a New draft.

The team disputes the explanation for that reversal and says coaches were excluded from an earlier decision-making stage.

Promotion result remains unchanged

Ground Zero won the replayed deciding game to take the series 3–2 and retain LCP status for 2027.

Frank coach MoonBlack argues that the New draft compromised prepared strategies that Ground Zero had already seen. Players also criticized the transparency of the process and the lack of an opportunity to appeal.

These remain the team’s allegations. Sheep Esports reported that, as of November 13, neither Riot Games nor Ground Zero had publicly responded.
