The Chinese League of Legends (LGD) is known for its level of play and extreme competitiveness. He has won the World Cup three times Invictus game (2018), FPX (2019) and especially EDG Last year. As France struggle to keep pace with the LPL, especially since the Frenchman is no longer available, the public continues to respect the Chinese teams who have proven time and time again to be among the best in the game. world. .
But beyond this very proud portrait, China is also known for its much darker side… the Chinese scene is regularly set aside for special occasions. deceived And Fix Match, Often associated with online betting. We imagine that the league would like to do without these useless advertisements. However, a new scandal has erupted. An investigation is underway and we will have to wait for more details, but from experience it still stinks…
A professional player who deliberately lost
This Kevin Kim (Korizon) discovered the incident by partially translating the article from Weibo, a major Chinese social network. He says a player from LGD Gaming, the historic structure of the LPL, was blamed for the deal. By doing so, he communicated his desire to lose certain matches to the outside member and theoretically allowed that third party to predict the outcome and possibly deposit a large sum of money. For those who care, a single player can easily result in the loss of their team, an intentional death due to poor turnout, face control, or bad splitting.
The player in question is your intermediate level”jay“Bo. He started the season on the bench, but quickly built a rookie team, playing around 20 games. They don’t have great stats at 2.5 KDA, but really no worse than their teammates. LGD He reached the nightmarish Spring Split and finished 16th out of 17 with 3 wins and 13 losses. It’s far from his standards at the time, but it’s not surprising that there was a liar in the team who deliberately lost… Of course, let’s remember that the player is considered innocent until proof to the contrary. But if he is found guilty, I hope that the punishment will be severe enough to prevent such behavior which disrupts the sport.
China and deception, a very long story
Some will say that it was a bit difficult for us to take care of you.jayBut we must admit that this is not the first case of fraud in China and we are starting to spoil it a bit. The Chinese scene really needs to solve this big problem which discredits competition and sports players.
Remember, in the past we had the right to trigger this kind of scandal in China:
- April 21, 2021 : More than 40 people suspended for draw (from 3 to 24 months)
- March 27, 2020 Weian was banned for 24 months for match-fixing and LPL team Rogue Warriors was fined over €400,000.
After all, to be completely honest, China is not the only competitive region where the cheating has taken place. It was the PCS team that got people talking at Worlds last year. Dog “maoist“Mao Zedong (beyond the game) really arrived at the gigantic CSC before he was fired and fired.
