LoL: Agurin suspended for one Prime League match and fined by CGN Esports over toxic behavior

On Tuesday, the Prime League announced disciplinary action against streamer and CGN Esports jungler Muhammed "Agurin" Kocak following toxic behavior in Solo Queue. “Agurin has already behaved toxically on several occasions,” the tournament organizer stated. “Most recently in a private stream outside of the Prime League, when he wished a fellow player a serious illness with the words: ‘Get cancer.’ Such statements clearly violate our values as well as the Esports Global Code of Conduct.”

The league, in consultation with Riot Games, decided to suspend the player for CGN’s upcoming match against BIG on July 26. However, Agurin has been in North America since June 24 and has not competed in any of the reigning champions' Summer Split matches thus far. The first two matches of the split were played by veteran jungler Thomas "Kirei" Yuen, during which CGN secured two victories. Agurin had initially planned to return to Europe this Tuesday, but announced the day before the league’s statement that he would be extending his stay by ten days.

“We are aware of Agurin’s current stay in North America and that he would not have participated in the match in question regardless,” the league clarified. “Nevertheless, the suspension was issued for the next scheduled match and not arbitrarily reassigned simply to maximize the penalty’s impact. Such an approach would not set a fair precedent.”

A few hours after the suspension was made public, CGN Esports released its own statement indicating that the organization would also impose internal sanctions on the player. “We have already implemented internal measures, including a significant financial penalty and mandatory professional counseling,” the team announced on X.

The organization emphasized that “Agurin has been facing repeated targeted in-game disruption during his Solo Queue challenge, including griefing and stream sniping.” However, CGN also made it clear that “These situations can test a player’s composure — but there is no excuse for crossing the line.” According to the club, Agurin has acknowledged his wrongdoing and accepted the consequences. “Our goal is to help him learn from this incident and to use his platform more mindfully moving forward.” CGN also noted that the team would be supporting BIG’s upcoming charity initiative aimed at helping children whose parents are affected by cancer.
