The insolence of scammers reaches a new level: speculators are not stopped by the face recognition system in 2020 Worlds

The Chinese state media Sixth Tone reports on the antics of attackers trying to cash in on the ongoing 2020 Worlds. Riot Games has implemented a fairly strict identity verification system to enter the arena hosting the 2020 World Championship. Despite the fact that they made a face recognition system, scammers manage to sell tickets to those wishing to attend the LAN championship bypassing this system. The cost of tickets, by the way, is $ 4,487.

Riot Games distributed all tickets exclusively to the winners through a specially held lottery. According to Riot Games rules, users selected by the system must have a League of Legends account with at least level 30. Within 24 hours after the victory, those had to receive their ticket by registering using the biometric data of their face, as well as indicating their full name and phone number.

If during the day the user did not have time to register or did not want to, then the ticket was given to another viewer. If he received his ticket, then it cannot be transferred in any way. The number of tickets distributed was 6,312. More than 3,200,000 people have expressed their desire to receive the cherished invitations. The 2020 World Championship Grand Final will take place on October 31.
