    Vitality took on Fnatic on the first day of their season on Saturday, winning the series. However, superstar mid laner Luka "Perkz" Perkovic equipped the Waterwalking rune while he was playing Ryze. However, pairing that rune with Ryze is currently prohibited in pro play.

    LoL Esports EMEA director Maximilian Peter Schmidt subsequently announced that Team Vitality will be getting fined.

    "You may have noticed that Perkz picked Waterwalking on Ryze yesterday which is currently prohibited in pro play," he tweeted.

    "Our Competitive Operations team assessed Perkz did not gain a significant advantage via the rune. Vitality will be fined in line with past precedent."

    Team Vitality are set to take on MAD Lions on Monday as the LEC Winter Split continues.
