LPL player admits the team is frequently criticized for “match-fixing” due to poor performance
In the professional League of Legends scene, there are teams that consistently secure victories and dominate the tournament with nearly flawless performance. However, there are also names that fluctuate from mediocre to truly poor, suffering from long losing streaks. Amid countless criticisms, depending on the region, many of them can be deemed unreasonable. For instance, the case of OMG—a long-standing team in the LPL that has been accused of “match-fixing” recently.
Accordingly, OMG player Haichao admitted a “bitter truth”: “After a few drinks on New Year’s Eve, I lay awake in bed, lost in thought, reminiscing about the past and the hardships I endured just to enter the LPL. Now, at 22, I still have no significant achievements and face accusations of match-fixing every day. It’s truly shameful. I don’t know how much longer this will last, but rest assured, I won’t give up.”
Perhaps because it’s LPL, this player receives unreasonable criticism
In reality, across all major and minor regions in the League of Legends scene, there are always teams that fail to secure any wins throughout the season, like BRO in LCK or last year’s FOX. However, nearly every year, the LPL region is embroiled in match-fixing scandals, which severely tests the trust of the audience.
Not to mention, during the recent Split 1 phase, OMG wasn’t performing too poorly, and Haichao himself had some standout moments. Therefore, these criticisms are baseless, not only unhelpful but also adding unnecessary pressure on the players.
