On Jan 6, Kim “Wadid” Bae-in admitted to account sharing. Via a post on his Instagram, he admitted that he shared an account with another player.
Account sharing, especially in Korea, is considered to be a very serious violation of the Terms of use. It’s an act that not only gets the game account permanently banned, it can have serious ramifications when trying to pursue a career in LoL Esports.
It all started when a number-based nickname appeared on his chat, during one of his streams. He verbally stated that he doesn’t know the user, and even revealed the account that’s linked to the Riot Partnership Program. However, a detailed look into the match history revealed that Wadid indeed played with an account that has the same name as the numbered nickname user in his chat.
Via his Instagram, he commented the following:
“I’m here to admit that I have shared an account with a close friend of mine. It’s a fact that I only knew, and I’ve lied about it. I’m sorry. I’m sorry to all those that have been affected by my actions.
I tried to cover the sky with my hands. I was too afraid to admit my wrongdoings. I’m sorry. I’ll take responsibility and suspend my official activities.”
Currently, Wadid is a pro player who is also part of the casting talent in both LCK and LCK Global. The LCK has yet to provide a statement on his status; stay tuned at Inven Global for more updates.
