Riot Games has taken legal action to end its partnership with cryptocurrency exchange FTX. The organization filed a series of court documents with the United States Bankruptcy Court requesting the termination of the seven-year partnership, which has been in place for only one year.<\/p>\n

Riot Games stated irreparable damage to its reputation as its reason for terminating the partnership, owing to the negative stories surrounding FTX and its filing for bankruptcy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is simply no way for FTX to cure the reputational harm already caused to Riot as a result of the highly public disrepute wrought by the debacle preceding FTX\u2019s bankruptcy filing,\u201d Riot says in the court documents.<\/p>\n

\u201cFTX cannot turn back the clock and undo the damage inflicted on Riot in the wake of its collapse.\u201d<\/p>\n

News of the motion was made public by independent cryptocurrency writer and reporter, Molly White.<\/p>\n

“Riot Games just filed a motion in the FTX bankruptcy case to end their deal, pertaining to the League of Legends Championship series,” White said.<\/p>\n

FTX still owes $6.25M (about half the payment) for 2022, and will owe $12.875M for 2023. Per the agreement, the payments escalate through 2028.<\/p>\n
