The League of Legends<\/a> Pro League (LPL) third seed, LNG Esports, may have to compete at the 2024 LoL World Championship without their star mid-laner, Lee “Scout” Ye-chan, due to ongoing legal complications with his former team, EDward Gaming (EDG).<\/p>\n

The dispute stems from Scout’s transfer to LNG at the start of the 2023 season, which led EDG to file a lawsuit.<\/p>\n

After losing the first trial, EDG appealed the case, which has since escalated to a second trial.<\/p>\n

As part of the legal proceedings, EDG reportedly requested a travel ban on Scout, complicating his ability to participate in the World Championship<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Scout had planned to return to South Korea for vacation but has been forced to remain in China while the case progresses.<\/p>\n

If the court rules against him, the travel ban could extend into October, meaning Scout would miss the Swiss stage of Worlds, held in Berlin.<\/p>\n
