League of Legends populära Iron Solari League råkade ut för en hel del kontrovers sedan det uppdagats att det fanns restriktioner på hur ett lag får sättas samman, där det bland annat bara fick vara en trans/gay-person per team. Efter klagomål har arrangörerna nu ändrat sig och skriver:
"Our initial ruling on LGBT player restrictions within the Iron Solari League has created a lot of good discussion and debate over the past 24 hours. After discussing the ruling with our partners and re-examining our approach, we have decided to remove these restrictions completely. This means that any player who self-identifies as female will be allowed to participate. We sincerely apologize for any offense we caused to the LGBT and gaming communities.
Our original intent when we put together this tournament was to promote diversity in the competitive gaming community. Hence, we are grateful to our players who have consistently provided their feedback to help us learn and improve as we strive to develop an inclusive gaming environment for all. We'll also be keeping our promise of having an open dialogue with all parties as we plan this and future events."
Kritiken tog dock inte slut i och med detta, utan diskussionerna har fortsatt. Iron Solari League riktar sig främst mot kvinnor och och är baserad på Filippinerna.
