After more than a decade since LoL emerged and developed strongly to become one of the most famous MOBA titles in the Esports scene, the gaming community has also become increasingly diverse. Of course, alongside serious gamers who play with a respectful attitude towards each other, the issue of toxicity also constitutes a significant portion. Toxic behaviors in the game can include game disruption, trolling, and unfounded criticism of teammates… All of these create a dark side for LoL.
Notably, even professional players are frequently harassed by this situation, and sometimes they can even be the “perpetrators”. However, those who troll games or disrupt games may forget that professional players are often given certain privileges by Riot and always have ways to contact senior departments directly. A typical case is the player QingTian disrupting the game during a match with Faker. Just reporting normally, but QingTian was dealt with by Riot in “no time”. And this time, Faker is again the “victim” of a serious game disruption, and the culprit is a Vietnamese gamer.
Specifically, recently, Faker was climbing ranks while livestreaming, and during one match, he had a teammate named “…Viet Nam” who was continuously disrupting the game to the point that Faker had to genuinely lose his temper. Right on his stream, the mid-laner of T1 bluntly declared: “Listen, right after this match, that Kennen player will be permanently banned. I will contact Riot directly to do that. So, just play out your last game.”
It can be said that this is one of the few times Faker has visibly lost his temper on stream. Even when he was disrupted by QingTian or had misunderstandings with Sty1e in the past, he was not as visibly upset as he was this time. Later, Faker switched to playing Jump King for a while to relieve stress before continuing to climb the ranks.
As for the player suspected to be from Vietnam, after the match with Faker, he continued to climb ranks for one more game. And currently, no one knows the status of this account after Faker’s declaration.
