A dispute between EHOME.MAX and CLG.Saintvicious, the gist of it.During a recent session of high ELO ranked games on the US server, 
Saintvicious of Counter Logic Gaming met with 
MAX of EHOME . The drama between them occured as Max who was playing Veigar afked during the game due to not getting blue buffs. The second game started with Max as #1 in charge of the ban/pick. He subsequently banned Teemo, Fiddlesticks and Karma, which many people thought were troll bans. He then picked Taric and asked for solo mid, while another player picked Cassiopeia.
Saint was obviously nonplussed at this and reported to Riot about MAX' behaviours and he was sentenced with a 24 hour ban. MAX did not find Saint's actions were justified and posted on a populous Chinese forum stating the situation, here are the translations.
EHOME.MAX (1st to the left):
After I talked with Saintvicious in game regarding this matter, he was at first unaware but agreed that a statement explaining the situation is needed, he did display some displeasures with MAX' actions both in game 1 and game 2. He then realeased this statement on his facebook.
CLG.Saintvicious:
What do you think about this situation? Who's being the irresponsible one here?

EHOME.MAX (1st to the left):
"While ranking on the US realm, I was in a game with Saintvicious and Lapaka. The game started off with me as Veigar solo mid ganking bot and helped Ezrael at bottom to kill their jungling Udyr who had double buffs, but I died during the process. The second buff Saint said he won't give it to me and I accepted it since I died. However I did not get the 3rd, 4th and the 5th blue buff, and the 6th one Lapaka took it while killing golems as top solo. I was angry at this and said go 4v5, I'm going to afk. After that, Saint became very rude and started to insult me, my English wasn't very good but I could still see it was very rude. After that, I fully afked and he got his fans to call for Riot banning me. I'm 2270 ranked as #1 and he was 2070 ranked as #5, I also killed their Vladimir so many times and he won't even give me one blue buff after my first death? Some people said I also afked the 2nd game, but I did not, I played all the way until the end. I did swear at Saint during the second game however so the ban is still justified."

CLG.Saintvicious:
"Ehome.MAX says on Chinese forums that I am racist to Chinese because he got banned after he afked and trolled me two games in a row. I am not racist to the Chinese and I am in fact good friends with many of the Chinese players. Mikako (iG.Tabe) specifically is probably one of the nicest players I have ever met. I appreciate my Chinese fans as well as all my fans from every country."

Not saying that any of them is guilty or innocent though.
however, i also can't see the reason for not giving a veigar the blue buff, kinda weird.
i mean even the "top" players are flaming and behaving like kids. in my eyes this is just pathetic and not appropriate for someone who plays at the highest level (only seen this kind of drama in WoW and i just can't respect players like that)
they had some trouble dealing with each other in game, and max should be enough of a grown up to not make an in game conflict about racism or w/e, that's just very unnecessary and kind of manipulative in my eyes.
it was an in game situation, and he being mad at saint for what he did is one thing, but calling out racism on him only cause he was irritated is kind of unfair :/ he could of been sticking to calling him "bad team player" or w/e, but not a racist.
