|content=[[Companies/Riot Games|Riot Games]] has introduced a new Dispute Resolution mechanism for its esports ecosystem in EMEA, starting today. The system will handle issues like unpaid salaries, bonuses, prize money, and transfer disputes for players, coaches, and teams in Tier 1 and Tier 2 Valorant and League of Legends leagues, including the LEC, VCT EMEA, and regional Challenger Leagues.

The Dispute Resolution will be managed by Martens, a European sports law firm, which will oversee the administration and selection of independent arbitrators. This initiative aims to improve professionalism and stability in Riot Games’ esports ecosystem in EMEA. 

The system will cover approximately 200 teams and 1,500 players but will not apply to lower-tier leagues like the UKEL or university leagues.
