LCS gives Echo Fox a new deadline for the racism issue

The League of Legends Championship Series (LCS) has decided to give esports team Echo Fox a few more days to iron out the racism issue inside its organization.

Echo Fox now has one more week to remove unnamed investors “whose actions have violated League rules and agreements,” according to an official tweet.

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 7 days.

About two months ago, League commissioner Chris Greeley of the LCS had demanded appropriate action to be taken from the company regarding the problem.

An Echo Fox shareholder was reported to have made racist remarks inside the organization and had caused Echo Fox founder Rick Fox to state that he was planning to resign.
