    Well guys, this is what happens when you become a “known” gamer…

    ORIGINAL BLOG POST 11/15 2:48PM
    Yesterday while at the Triple Threat tournament it was brought to my attention that someone from the Street Fighter community was accused of trash talking me on the League Of Legends forums. Upon hearing that, of course, I had to investigate. Upon going to the forums I found out that it was actually worse than I was informed… my identity had been stolen and the person was posting a thread to upset the community.

    The following names were registered without my knowledge: EMP StarSlay3r, StarSlay3r and lol StarSlay3r
    The only name that is registered to me, and was created TODAY is: realStarSlay3r

    I already don’t have enough time in a day to do everything that I want, but now do I REALLY need to dedicate time to going to EVERY games official website and registering my name before the trolls do? It’s also even worse if the person who did this did it for the pure amusement of knowing that people would fight about it for 3 days or just to get hits on thread postings. Why must MY name be used as a tool to drive traffic to YOUR website, blog, forum, etc.?

    To anyone who was offended on what was posted on the LOL forum… I can’t say sorry because I didn’t say it, but just know it was just a random troll and brush it off. To anyone who gave me offers to join their team or gave me words of encouragement… thank you, but I don’t even play League of Legends.

    UPDATE! 11/15 11:50PM:

    I just received an email letting me know that Riot Games has resolved the issue! Not sure if he wants all of you knowing who he is so I deleted his name…

    StarSlay3r,

    My name is ****, and I am a community manager for Riot Games, the developers for League of Legends. I came across the post on your blog regarding people impersonating you on our forums, and I wanted to let you know that I have seen to the matter. I have returned the identity StarSlay3r to the account that you registered yourself, and I have also taken the liberty of reserving the name ‘StarSlay3r’ in our account creation system so that no further iterations of the name can be registered.

    Oh, and should the uncouth ruffians who engineered this dastardly plot decide to post again, you will be pleased to know that they will henceforth be known as: WildStallion, PunchDrunkRhino, and GroggyKoala. Branding trolls with silly, embarrassing names is just another service that we provide here at Riot Games.



    Best regards,

    -****’

    Thank you Riot Games! Issue… RESOLVED!

      I’ve been wondering how long it would take for something like this to start happening. The fact that someone actually has StarSlay3r as their PSN name has always made me worry, although it seems that one isn’t active. Unfortunately it’s part of the fame, no matter how big or small. Jealousy drive people to do stupid things, that’s why it’s one of the deadly sins.

      As a professional gamer myself, I would like to apologize on behalf of the LOL community ..there just a bunch of immature kids though. They feed on other people’s grief. I saw you on Ultimate Gamer but this is my first time visiting the site, everything looks good.

      Thanks MythiK. I saw you and your teammates postings in the thread. Thanks for being nice and for the offer to join the team. I’m sorry someone mislead you on there. I checked out your team page as well and it looks like you have some pretty good teammates on there! Nice to see the ladies division has quite a few members as well. :D Good luck with everything!

      Well, the good news is that it took all of… 1 post >.> for someone to realize it wasn’t you.
      So, probably little “actual” damage done. But yeah. You’re going to find someone doing something stupid on the internet pretty much no matter where you look.
