Rising LPL Star Unexpectedly Accused of “Dirty Deeds”
A few years ago, player Milkyway began to draw attention when he appeared in the colors of Royal Never Give Up and later performed exceptionally after transferring to FunPlus Phoenix. He was seen as a new hope for LPL, at a time when the tournament was still relying on veterans. His young age gives Milkyway plenty of time to improve himself. However, recently, Milkyway faces the risk of ending his career due to allegations of misconduct.
Specifically, this player is suspected of being involved in a match-fixing scandal from 2024. The method used was that Milkyway would disclose the bans that RNG had used in practice matches so that his friends could bet on whether that champion would be picked in actual matches. According to information from the LPL community, if this is confirmed, Milkyway risks being banned from competition for life.
The Career of the Young LPL Star is at Risk of Ending Early
Without waiting for any official rulings, even at this moment, Milkyway has already been indefinitely suspended by FPX. Notably, this is not the first time FPX has been embroiled in a misconduct case involving a player they recently recruited. Also in the Jungle position and having just appeared in the main team, showing impressive performances, before Milkyway, FPX had also witnessed the match-fixing case of Bo. It can be said that Bo’s incident previously caused FPX to struggle, especially since they had to deal with internal conflicts between Doinb and Tian as well as Tian’s lack of motivation.
As for Milkyway, he has just gone through a tough time in his career and was recently “rescued” by FPX. However, the joy was short-lived, and now, Milkyway could face the worst outcome if everything is clarified. At the same time, this is a sad story for LPL, which has already been scarce in talented young players over the past few years.
