As we know, during the match between Gen.G and T1 at MSI 2023, a surprising situation occurred which was only discovered after the match concluded. This was when Aurelion Sol from Chovy, who had accumulated enough Stardust, failed to activate the shockwave when casting his ultimate, Falling Star, right in the middle of the T1 lineup. This happened after Chovy cast his ability and was protected from being attacked by Delight’s Tahm Kench using his R – Devour.
According to several gamers who tested afterward, there was a bug occurring between the interactions of Tahm Kench and Aurelion Sol when these two champions are on the same team. If Tahm Kench were on the opposing side and performed Devour, Aurelion Sol’s Falling Star would still activate the shockwave. Many viewers condemned Riot for allowing such serious bugs to occur in the largest international tournaments of this game.
However, a “funny yet sad” situation occurred as Support Keria unexpectedly became the name criticized by many fans under posts related to this bug. In fact, the comments condemning Keria were so numerous that notable figures in the League of Legends community, such as female reporter Ashley Kang, IWDominate, and many other fans were astonished.
– “Keria should have known that Devour would remove the shockwave effect in Aurelion Sol’s skill”
– “The reason why Keria is the best Support in the world”
– “Keria is so good that he ‘outplays’ even Riot”
– “Keria is the cause of this”
– “But Tahm Kench is Delight’s, why is everyone blaming Keria?”
– “It’s sad for those who can’t see when blaming Keria for Riot’s mistake”.
For many, these may just be playful jabs. But for T1 fans, even though it seems harmless, it is hard for anyone to accept that their player is being attacked for a mistake unrelated to him. The story is still attracting intense attention and debate among League of Legends fans, with many comments mentioning Keria still appearing frequently.
