Yesterday, on September 5th, in the final match of the LPL region determining the 4th seed for the 2021 World Championship, LNG Esports brilliantly defeated Team WE after 4 intense games with a total score of 3-1. Not only did they secure the last spot for China at the World Championship, but Tarzan – the incredibly talented jungler also delivered an outstanding performance, being one of the key factors in LNG’s victory, and had the chance to reunite with his two former teammates from Griffin, Chovy and Viper.
LNG’s performance also attracted significant attention from the international League of Legends community. In particular, many experts praised Tarzan’s display in LNG’s victory. Among them was streamer Christian “IWDominate” Rivera, who plays for Cloud9 – a team that will also participate in the 2021 World Championship from the play-in stage alongside Tarzan’s LNG:
“Tarzan is truly exceptional. It’s amazing to see a jungler who can play so disciplined. Junglers often have very unique styles and sometimes express them a bit too much; he (Tarzan) is the only one who can control everything.”
However, underneath Rivera’s post, a netizen surprised everyone with a harsh comment targeting LNG’s jungler:
This comment left the streamer himself astonished. Tarzan is regarded as one of the gentler players, having rarely made any controversial statements, even during trash talk before matches. The only times he drew attention were mostly during the internal scandal of GRF.
Immediately, Rivera had to clarify below the post that this person probably mistook Tarzan (LNG) for the player Tarzaned – who previously reached rank 1 Challenger in North America but is also notorious for being extremely toxic. He even verbally attacked Froggen – the former star of Dignitas right on his stream back in 2019. Additionally, Tarzaned had his account banned while streaming for boosting elo.
Notably, even after realizing the mix-up, the netizen showed no sign of apologizing or expressing regret, simply confirming “I know now” and then disappearing.
– What are you talking about?
– As I mentioned earlier.
– But do you know that Tarzaned and Tarzan are two completely different people?
– Oh, really…
As for Tarzan, this jungler will continue his journey with LNG at the upcoming 2021 World Championship in Europe. With what he has shown throughout the past season, many fans hope Tarzan will maintain his good form and, along with FunPlus Phoenix, EDward Gaming, and Royal Never Give Up, bring glory to the LPL region.
