The issue of toxicity on the Korean rank is currently escalating, as many players from other regions or those who have registered accounts in the Korean League of Legends server are exhibiting inappropriate behavior in this server.
Recently, VCS player Phi1 was penalized by Riot Games for a toxic act on the Korean rank. However, before that, an even more outrageous story occurred when an account believed to belong to a player from LDL (the second-tier League of Legends league in China) engaged in targeted attacks against T1.
If you have you won’t win this game. Do you understand?
Noob.
T1 Gumayusi > you.
D*g mid sup.
Cuzz > Oner.
According to information gathered, the player with the in-game name “story jug” is actually named Yang “Naiyou” Zi-Jian, who is currently competing for the youth team of Top Esports – Top Esports Challenger.
In Teddy’s case, the T1 AD carry initially apologized politely (due to poor performance) but was still continuously taunted by Naiyou. In contrast, Oner simply responded with a few remarks and reported the “toxic player” right after the match.
Notably, story jug seems to insult T1 players as a form of entertainment rather than a moment of impulsiveness. He clearly knows who he is targeting, declaring Gumayusi > Teddy, or Cuzz > Oner.
Teddy has currently lost his starting slot to Gumayusi, but conversely, Oner is the one trusted by T1’s coach instead of Cuzz. Therefore, the taunts of Gumayusi > Teddy and Cuzz > Oner can be seen as a deliberate provocation, aimed at angering T1 players.
Unfortunately for Naiyou, his actions occurred while Teddy and Oner were live streaming, and many viewers expressed their outrage, demanding that Riot Games take serious action regarding this case.
For T1 fans, their reaction was even more intense as they criticized the Top Esports organization for allowing their player to speak out online without any control. This is understandable as T1 is currently facing numerous internal crisis issues, and having their players publicly attacked in this manner is indeed unacceptable.
