Gabriella "LeTigress" Devia-Allen, a popular LCS caster and host, has announced that she will be taking a break from the program this week.
LeTigress began her journey with a lengthy monologue intended to hype up an upcoming game between TSM and 100 Thieves, centering around the heated feud between TSM and legendary AD carry Doublelift. This situation was, however, presented in a manner that many people found "unprofessional and tone-deaf."
Some people felt that LeTigress' handling of the situation was far too soft, since the issue concerned the alleged abuse of TSM players and staff members.
LeTigress, an LCS broadcaster, apologizes to TSM for a monologue that sparked outrage across the league.
Both the league and LeTigress apologised for "missing the mark" in this particular segment, claiming that the blame should be on the shoulders of the entire broadcast team, not just one person. It is important for the whole team to ensure that the product being presented is perfect.
LeTigress did highlight the large number of anonymous hate messages she received since her monologue was broadcast, and she said she was "horrified by the insults and vitriol directed at me by anonymous trolls for simply doing my job."
The talented actress has decided to take a mental health break to regroup and reflect on the previous events before returning to the program for week four of the 2023 LCS Spring Split.
