League of Legends: The AI controversy has come to an end; a Riot Games designer reveals the true identity of the top Korean server player. (Part 2)

God-like skills could be the work of a child prodigy or an evolved form of artificial intelligence. In any case, this isn't the first time AI has been introduced into games. In regular ranked matches, if someone goes AFK or quits mid-game, the computer can take over. In training matches, you can even face computer heroes. When they get strong, you might not be able to beat them. With rapid technological advancements, it's not impossible for AI to surpass human understanding in terms of competitive strength. For example, in Honor of Kings, some netizens on forums have praised the AI for playing better than the less skilled teams. However, another faction strongly opposes the use of AI to infiltrate and affect fairness.

Riot Games designers clarify account holder

Similarly, the mysterious figure behind this top-ranked Korean League of Legends player with a 92% win rate has sparked controversy and debate. Some claim Musk is testing his AI, while others allege the account belongs to BRI's new mid-laner. These two opposing camps, questioning account ownership, have created a heated online argument. While it's the official responsibility of the platform to clarify, it's advisable to wait until the discussion subsides before confirming the account belongs to BRI's mid-laner, Roamer, to avoid further complications.

For the League of Legends community, this was a relief. These were real, flesh-and-blood players, not some tech company using players as test subjects to collect data and improve AI in competitive play. Finally, Roamer gave an interview, laughing and saying it was all luck.

Discrepancies between tournament performance and ranking are normal.

After the controversy subsided, netizens said the topic should have ended long ago. When Korean netizens revealed that Roamer was the most likely candidate, some players immediately conducted detailed analysis. Their Summoner Spells and settings were almost perfectly compatible. Moreover, the account ID suffix included the sponsor's name. If the AI supporters' assumptions were true, and Musk was playing a prank, he wouldn't be so foolish as to include a Korean company's name to avoid suspicion.

Netizens familiar with Musk's statements see through this big shot; he loves to flaunt his achievements and act with ostentation. In 2025, he did indeed claim he would use AI to challenge the reigning World Championship winners, T1, even if the 92% win rate was achieved using an account he created. With such a record, shouldn't he immediately announce it to the world and slap all the Korean server players in the face? Professional players' performance varies greatly; it's extremely difficult to maintain peak performance for an extended period. A high ranking doesn't guarantee average tournament performance. Players who regularly follow esports are all too familiar with this phenomenon.
