LPL Shaken by Match-Fixing Allegations Right at Split 1
Currently, LPL is the only region in the entire League of Legends community that has yet to complete its domestic tournament. However, with only 2 matches remaining, the champion of Split 1 for the biggest League of Legends tournament at the start of the year in the land of billions will soon be determined. Nevertheless, this has turned out not to be a peaceful season as the community had assumed. Recently, TES announced that they are conducting an investigation and have submitted evidence for LPL to further examine the negative allegations against player Naiyou.
Accordingly, TES has begun to suspect and gather evidence, and has sent the collected information to the LPL organizers and Riot Games China. Previously, Naiyou’s performance this season could only be described as acceptable. Moreover, in the match against WBG, this player had two games with scores of 4 and 5, leaving many viewers puzzled about his item build and overall performance in the match.
Specifically, Naiyou made a move to equip the champion Trundle with 2 magic resist items while the opponent had no AP damage at all. This was also the “overflow” match that led TES to decide to investigate and gather evidence to submit to the tournament organizers regarding Naiyou’s case.
The Future of LPL’s Player Looks Very Grim
Even if not involved in negativity, Naiyou has already left significant doubts, and the possibility of TES parting ways with this player in the near future is always present. And for a player who is suspected of being “tainted” in a region where viewers are gradually losing hope like LPL, the chance that Naiyou could face even darker prospects is very high.
