I somewhat agree with you, but he does omit certain things to try and make a point. For example

In his March 18 email, Blum stated that the original trade between TDK and Renegades was a verbal agreement which occurred before the trade deadline, which was on March 1, but he, like Monte Cristo, did not give a specific date to when the trade was effectuated.

This also leads him to the presumption that emails are missing or omitted. which he himself says here > these possibly missing emails could explain Monte and Blum’s failure to provide the finalized trade date.

Blum provided the time frame, > They further manifested their intent to be bound by this agreement by discussing the trade with Riot and filling out all appropriate paperwork to effectuate that trade under the LCS and CS rules. All of this was done before the trade deadline. Thus, there was a binding agreement between the parties and each player was validly contracted to their new team before comepeting.

This was a satisfactory answer for riot but that is completely overlooked so this author can speculate more.
