Notably, many suspect whether the Gen.G players were aware of this issue beforehand. It's widely understood that when the Rift Herald buff appears, there's typically a specific assignment regarding who will 'ride' the Rift Herald. Moreover, there's always a brief 'skill cast' time when using the Rift Herald. Interestingly, the Gen.G players did not proactively pause the game upon noticing the anomaly, waiting until ShowMaker reported the issue to the referee.

Certainly, this marks the first significant issue related to the Rift Herald up to this point, possibly indicating that the Gen.G players were overly focused on the match. However, the matter remains contentious as neither Riot nor the LCK organizers have issued any official statements yet.
