Riot encouraging content creators smurfing by reversing mid-stream smurfing ban

Another day, another content creator doing a super original Iron to Radiant stream. This time the smurf account is banned mid-stream only to be reinstated about 20minutes later through back channel discussions with Riot.

In this clip the content creator in question says they were informed by Riot their smurf account would be banned for streaming their smurfing after they finished their stream and the damage had been done.

These streams aren't isolated events. Recently another large content creator was allowed to do a similar marathon stream even after marketing it on their socials and securing a sponsor. That streamer admitted on stream to having brought their Iron account which is a breach of TOS.
