Renegades is an esports organisation that got permanently banned from competitive League of Legends because the owner back then, Montecristo had a mutual agreement to pass ownership over to someone who was temporarily banned from competitive League of Legends the second the ban was lifted. They were also suspected in putting their players in an unsafe environment, which was denied by all players. Many fans saw it as a move by Riot Games (the devs who made the game) to get rid of Montecristo, who has been very vocal about Riot being greedy and such. Montecristo was a commentator for competitive League of Legends in South Korea but moved to Overwatch after the 2016 season.
In more recent events, an Oceanic organization by the name of Tainted Minds saw themselves in trouble since early March after a player by the name of Cake leaked information of several misconducts, including no internet and used PCs that regularly shut down (neither are good for competitive multiplayer gaming), forcing them to practice in internet cafés; paying their players late or not at all, having no AC during the Australian summer and abusing the team manager.
/u/rudebrooke suggests that the Renegades ruling (which was a permanent ban from all Riot-sanctioned competition due to giving a banned person the mutual agreement of ownership and creating an unsafe environment) should not be compared to the Tainted Minds scenario(multiple contract breaches and creating an unsafe environment, as well as late or non-payments, all are offenses that have led to permanent bans of the organizations before), even though the Renegades ruling set a precedent that cannot be ignored.

Any organization that seeks credibility will find itself bound by precedent before very long.
