Does Apple banning Epic Games have any potential implications for the Summoner Store?

I was just reading a new article on the macrumors website. Here is the main quote below

Apple shared the following statement with MacRumors:

Epic's egregious breach of its contractual obligations to Apple led courts to determine that Apple has the right to terminate "any or all of Epic Games' wholly owned subsidiaries, affiliates, and/or other entities under Epic Games' control at any time and at Apple's sole discretion." In light of Epic's past and ongoing behavior, Apple chose to exercise that right.
In a letter sent to Epic, lawyers representing Apple said that Epic has proven to be "verifiably untrustworthy." Apple said it cannot be assured that Epic will follow the Apple Developer Program's terms and conditions in the future.

Does this put Kabam at risk of having their developer account terminated due to use of the summoners market?

The opposite. Epic games started to break the App store strangleholds. Its why the Summoner Store can exist.

The summoner’s market is actually the safe way to do it. Epic initially just set up a payment system in their apps that no longer gave Apple a cut, which is a direct breach of Apple TOS. An online technically separate store is totally fair game though.
