Riot Games League of Legends Championship Series (LCS) has given team Echo Fox a seven-day extension to remove an investor found to be in violation of league rules, after the initial 60-day period for corrective action expired yesterday.
“On May 15, the LCS directed Echo Fox to take appropriate corrective action within 60 days to remove those individuals whose actions have violated League rules and agreements. Based on our ongoing discussions with Echo Fox, we are extending our deadline for compliance by seven days,” reads a tweet from the official LOL Esports Twitter account.
In April, Dexerto reported that Echo Fox founder and co-owner Rick Fox planned to sell his shares and depart the organization, due to alleged racist remarks directed towards him from a fellow shareholder. Echo Fox confirmed the report and said that it was working to resolve the conflict by making “various demands to the investor,” including dissociation from the company.
