Riot Games has made the decision to terminate Talon’s partnership agreement with the League of Legends Championship Pacific (LCP) and remove the team from the league. This decision follows Talon’s failure to operate in accordance with league standards, especially significant delays in payments to players and coaches.

After being made aware of delayed payments to players and other financial issues, Riot Games worked closely with Talon for a sustained period, including multiple extensions, to give the  team space to demonstrate organization sustainability and resolve their financial situation, but Talon was ultimately unable to fulfill the requirement on time to continue in the LCP.

The individual players and coaches affected have been informed and are allowed to explore other opportunities within our esports ecosystem during the Free Agency period.

Riot Games is exploring replacement teams to fill Talon’s slot in LCP. We will provide an update when we have finalized the process. 

We acknowledge the challenging situation that Talon and their players face and appreciate your understanding and patience towards all parties, as we navigate this transition.
