On January 23, 2014, Riot Games announced that Bjergsen violated the LCS rules by approaching and encouraging a contracted LCS player to leave his position at Lemondogs.[6] He admitted the violation and was fined $2,000.[7]
Bjergsen won the Most Valuable Player Award at the conclusion of the 2015 North American LCS Spring Split.[8]
