For players, besides bonuses when participating in tournaments or advertising contracts for brands, a very significant source of income is when they go on livestreams and interact with fans. In particular, in the LPL region – where the livestream industry is the most developed in the world today and the audience does not hesitate to donate huge amounts of money to their idols, including the players, it is It is also reasonable that the LPL star is willing to do many things to entertain viewers. Of course, because you are still a player, these actions cannot go beyond the rules of Riot and the tournament organizers.
League of Legends players in general and LPL players in particular attach great importance to livestreaming, even as part of their contracts.
That's why, recently, Invictus Gaming player Leyan received a very heavy penalty. Specifically, this guy recreated some extremely sensitive movements that would make even adults blush on the stream. Worth mentioning, Leyan's behavior took place in front of another hot girl who was “duo streaming” (roughly translated: broadcasting together) with him. And of course, Leyan was punished only a short time later. Specifically, TheShy's former teammate had to receive a fine of 50k yuan (about 7000 USD ~ more than 170 million VND) and was banned from playing 2 matches. At the same time, the IG team was also fined 20k yuan (about 70 million VND).
“Leyan of IG was fined about 7000 USD for inappropriate behavior with a giant teddy bear on stream, while another female streamer was watching. Official announcement from LPL: “Related to inappropriate behavior Following the recent match of player Leyan (ID: Leyan) of team IG on the livestream platform, League of Legends' professional Esports discipline team has conducted an investigation. The results showed that Leyan (ID: Leyan) made statements that violated regulations and engaged in morally controversial behaviors, leading to negative effects. After a comprehensive review, League of Legends' professional Esports discipline team decided to issue the following penalties: Leyan (ID: Leyan) was fined 50,000 yuan; Leyan (ID: Leyan) was banned from playing 2 matches (important BO3 matches); Team IG was fined 20,000 yuan.”
Leyan's offensive actions
However, Leyan's actions caused a number of “unrelated” characters to suddenly be brought into the story. The first is Gen.G when this team can face Bilibili Gaming at MSI 2024. For those who don't know, in the last LPL Spring, BLG only lost 1 group stage match and that was the loss to IG with Leyan in the official squad. An audience member quipped: “I hope this will make Gen.G's coaching staff realize what should be done (literally: messing with stuffed animals) to defeat GBV.” The reason is that Gen.G was the “defeated champion” of BLG twice in a row in two international tournaments last year.
“I hope this will make the coaches mistakenly think Gen.G's training method is the key factor and we find out they have a unique training strategy ahead of MSI”
For the VCS audience, Killerqueen was called out again. Since leaving Team Whales, the famous former Jungler also became a streamer and quickly attracted attention. Killerqueen does not hesitate to do many tricks on stream. Of course, among these there are also many actions that are not really suitable for all ages.
VCS audiences mentioned Killerqueen
Leyan's case is still controversial in the League of Legends community. There are opinions that the punishment is too harsh, but there are also many people who believe that the players are also role models for young people and that inappropriate actions will leave long-term harmful effects.
