Huh… That happened in north American league of legends with the LCS director previous to thw current one.

Though it feels like a bit more than just a glass cliff kinda situation, we got a woman LCS director at a time when riot kept making absolutely shit decisions that everyone hated, and then they made a really shitty decision from over her head, if I remember right it later came out she had just gone on vacation or something, and they just let it seem like it was her decision.

She did not stay director… Which, frankly good for her 😅. I feel like I’m gonna see this everywhere now
