Chapter 2415 EDG won the lawsuit, but not completely
After spending a day in Los Angeles, on the morning of November 20, the entire KT team took a flight from Los Angeles International Airport to prepare for their return trip.
It’s still Korean Air’s business class, and the club has never treated its players badly in terms of travel benefits. Compared with many clubs participating in the World Championships who have to fly economy class and ask Riot Games for reimbursement, KT is very generous.
On the plane.
Chi Shengxi was watching the recently popular Korean drama "The Chaebol's Youngest Son". Lin Cheng watched it for a while and felt bored, so he used his tablet to surf the Internet and browse the forums.
Not to mention that Cheng Za is in the limelight and chasing Tan Za, but EDG is hotly searched in China again.
This time it also has something to do with Lin Cheng.
After the Asian Games, due to the extreme public opinion, EDG announced that they would sue black fans for spreading rumors against EDG and Abramovich, and the matter has been delayed for a long time.
Two days ago, EDG's official blog suddenly stated that they had won the lawsuit and that justice would prevail.
The defendant's negative fans did post an apology on social media, and netizens thought the matter was over.
Then, the audio files of yesterday's court hearing were circulated.
Someone cut the trial recording into a video and uploaded it to the Internet, which went viral.
Everyone knew the result, but no one expected how abstract the trial recording would be.
The plaintiff’s attorney believed that the defendant posted a large number of false, derogatory and slanderous information on Weibo, which seriously infringed upon the reputation of the plaintiff EDG e-sports club. The judge began to ask questions one by one about the Internet rumors.
Since the defendant's black fans only uploaded all the materials the night before the trial, the judge and the plaintiff's attorney had no time to read them. The judge could only temporarily review some materials while asking questions.
Judge: "The defendant said that he (Ji Xing) had a fight with national team player Lin Chenggong. Is there any evidence?"
"I heard what others said."
The defendant is a spirited man with a young voice.
Judge: "Answer me first, do you have any evidence?"
Defendant: "I have no evidence, but everyone knows that Abramovich was kicked off the national team before the final. Rumors are flying everywhere, and there must be a palace fight."
Judge: "You have to have actual evidence for this! Doesn't it mean that you think there is... on the plaintiff's side, is there a palace fight between Ji Xing and this guy named Lin Cheng?"
The plaintiff's attorney was categorical: "No! We definitely don't have Gong Dou. Mr. Ji Xing has a good relationship with the team members. These are all groundless news."
Judge: "Are there any rumors on the Internet? Are there any rumors that the defendant said are flying all over the world?"
"..."
There was silence for five seconds, and the plaintiff's lawyer did not speak.
Judge: "Plaintiff, please respond."
"I don't know what the rumor about the palace fight is, but their side (EDG) did mention it to me, but it was all spread on the Internet. There was no palace fight between Mr. Ji Xing and Lin Cheng, it was just
The tactical concepts in the game are inconsistent.”
The attorney is obviously not a seasoned lawyer. From the hesitation in his voice, he may be a newbie in the legal field.
In fact, such small cases are generally trained by law firms for newcomers, and it is impossible to overkill them.
Judge: "So there are rumors, but the person involved denies the palace fight, right?"
Attorney: "Yes, yes!"
The judge asked one by one: "As for the defendant's posting vocabulary, the plaintiff does not recognize the 'drake voice' used by the defendant, right?"
"..."
The plaintiff's lawyer was silent for a while, "It seems we didn't mention this? Our main focus here is on the word 'dead eunuch' he said."
The judge flipped through the documents and took more than ten seconds to confirm: "'Dead eunuch', right?"
Lawyer: "Yes, yes! This word is a derogatory word with obvious slanderous meaning."
The judge confirmed again: "The term 'drake's throat' is not advocated, right?"
Lawyer: "Yeah."
There was another few seconds of suffocating silence.
Lin Cheng almost laughed out loud. Why is this trial recording so abstract?
The barrages on video websites exploded.
"Hahaha! What is this?"
"So the trial is so interesting? I thought it was very serious."
"This judge is also a black man, right? I'm laughing so hard"
"That's right, the judge must clarify which words are infringing"
"The silence of the plaintiff's lawyer is simply the essence, 23333"
"Because the court cannot lie, lawyers understand this better (dog head)"
"One thing to say, Abu Duck's throat really doesn't need to be cleaned"
"I really can't stand it any longer"
It can be seen that this anti-fan is very powerful in fighting. Not only did he crazily attack Abu on the Internet, but he also submitted a series of negative materials about Abu.
Then the judge was obviously shocked by Abu's experience.
Judge: "Plaintiff, do you claim that he spread rumors about (Ji Xing)'s sister's death?"
Plaintiff’s lawyer: “…”
The judge raised his voice: "Do you have any claim about 'dead sister'?"
Plaintiff’s lawyer: “We didn’t write this! We didn’t mention this infringement.”
Judge: "That means we don't claim that the 'dead sister' thing is an infringement, right?"
"..."
Silence, fatal silence.
"Also, the defendant mentioned that he attacked Poland and blamed the Shanghai police. Is it true?"
The judge asked very detailed questions, and the attorney was stumbling and obviously sweating profusely.
She may be suspecting that after the trial, she will become the defendant of EDG.
Until the judge asked again: "Does EDG admit that the defendant is suspected of tax evasion?"
Attorney: "No! We have absolutely no tax evasion."
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The defendant got excited at this time and interjected loudly: "EDG themselves have posted on Weibo to beat themselves up! In 20 years, EDG's official blog posted a screenshot of bonuses given to employees. The bonuses were paid through private transfers. This is definitely tax evasion.
.”
Judge: "Plaintiff, is this a problem? Has EDG ever been investigated for tax evasion?"
Attorney: "...I'm not particularly sure about this... I can go check it out."
Judge: "Verify it now."
Attorney: "No... I have no choice now. I have to contact the staff over there."
Judge: "If you want to claim this, you must verify it in advance. Since you believe that the tax evasion he said is a rumor, you must provide evidence!"
"It's not difficult to know whether tax evasion or tax evasion has been investigated by the relevant departments. You can check with them now."
Attorney: "Uh~~No! I have no choice now..."
The judge interrupted: "Ask me and give me an answer before you get off work!"
"..."
Silence, another silence.
"Damn it! I'm so sweaty 23333"
"Turtle, everything is revealed"
"Laughing to death! Back then, the EDG official blog really beat me up for tax evasion."
"So the trial is so funny? Hahahaha"
"This kind of civil quarrel is trivial, and the judge knows it is just a quarrel."
"But when I finally heard about tax evasion, I became serious, and the lawyer was really sweating profusely (dog head)" ()
