In the Vietnamese League of Legends scene, aside from Zeros, if we had to find another name frequently associated with drama, who has even been featured on television, it would be streamer S. – a former member of the SBTC streamer group and once a close brother of Teacher Ba. After numerous controversies in the past, S. has officially transitioned to create content and engage in activities related to gambling, causing much debate even among his own fans.
Recently, streamer S. has once again been accused of defrauding his audience. Specifically, during an event organized for his fans, after receiving money transfers from attendees, S. exited the livestream without setting a date for a return. Moreover, according to the “victim,” around 400 people transferred money to S., with each person contributing about 100,000 VND, a substantial amount. Notably, S. then proceeded to automatically block any content in the chat related to the incident, including messages demanding refunds.
However, the post by the “victim” following the incident received mostly mixed reactions from the online community. The majority believe that the core issue lies in the fact that many people voluntarily placed themselves in a trap and lost their money. Some even bluntly stated: “Everyone knows about S.’s situation. S. didn’t force anyone to play. If that’s the case, you reap what you sow; no one can help you.” Furthermore, participating in S.’s activities is, in reality, a violation of the law, making it almost impossible for the “victims” to seek help from authorities.
It can be said that S.’s involvement in gambling activities is one thing. But it is the viewers of the streamer who participate in these activities daily that may truly be the main reason, inadvertently enabling S. to continue his actions.
