The next day, in the third round of the playoffs, WE and V5 started a BO5 battle.
The world champions of the previous two years will be eliminated in this round and will not even be eligible to play in the rematch.
This Mars-Earth collision has attracted the attention of countless audiences at home and abroad.
The two teams did not disappoint the audience, and jointly contributed to a round of extremely high quality, which was almost as exciting as the BO5 finals in previous years.
The players were online, the coaching staff was fully prepared, and both sides showed their talents, dragging the suspense of the BO5 to the final fifth game.
When the familiar war song sounded at the game, the audience cheered and applauded without hesitation.
In the end, Nuguri chose Kenan as his natural choice in the life-and-death game, and found a perfect position to bypass the back tp under the strong headwind of V5.
Relying on Kennen's wave of thunder, V5 was able to turn the situation around and had the last laugh.
After the game, overseas players and e-sports media people mourned.
"I thought I was watching the finals of the Global Finals, but you told me that this was only the third round of the LPL spring playoffs, not even the semi-finals?"
"The LPL is so crazy. Two teams that are capable of competing for the championship are fighting to death just to qualify for the playoffs."
"WE and V5 were only ranked fifth and fourth in the regular season. What kind of monsters are the LPL?"
"Imagine replacing one of the teams with the invincible G2 of the LEC. Reason tells me that G2 will never see the fifth game."
"This game, these two teams, completely deserve a bigger and bigger stage."
"Guys, I can't wait to fast forward to MSI."
"Humph, isn't the reason why the LPL team is so strong because our LCK sent a lot of Korean aid?"
"I hope T1 can win the championship this year and severely humiliate some deserters and traitors!"
……
On the night when the match between WE and V5 ended, a very popular trending search shot up at an alarming rate, once overwhelming this exciting battle.
The protagonist of the hot search is FPX, who will play against DT tomorrow.
To be precise, he is FPX’s new jungler BO.
FPX has suddenly emerged this season, and Doinb takes the greatest credit.
However, the rookie jungler BO appointed by Doinb produced exaggerated statistics that were completely unlike a newcomer, and won MVPs one after another.
Many viewers praised him for "reaching the peak when he debuted" and compared him with last year's champion jungler Tian, and even created memes such as "BO Ren Biography".
In short, this newcomer's value has skyrocketed and his future is bright, and many clubs are jealous.
But it was this supernova who was exposed by a gambling dealer as a screenshot of a chat suspected of match-fixing.
Players who often watch games and visit Tieba forums must have seen the overwhelming advertisements for spinach, and they may even be surrounded by dog gamblers participating in spinach.
Especially in the past two years, LPL has won consecutive championships and a large amount of capital has poured into the e-sports industry. How can gambling companies not covet this fragrant big cake?
If it is said that there are players in the LDL participating in match-fixing, players will more or less believe it.
After all, after the LDL canceled the promotion and relegation competition, except for some high-quality players who had the opportunity to enter the LPL, most of the remaining players could only wait to die with "meager" salaries.
E-sports is a youth phenomenon. Players from the LDL cannot compete in the LPL. When they get older, they have to retire and become anchors or do business, or simply change careers.
At this time, if someone tells them that as long as they secretly use some tricks during the game, they can easily make a lot of money that they cannot make even after playing professionally until they retire, there is no guarantee that some people will be tempted and unable to resist the temptation.< /p>
What's more, if the club's management threatens to refuse to play in extra games if they don't cooperate, can the players still stick to their true intentions?
But FPX is the dark horse of this season's LPL, and BO himself is a newcomer with unlimited prospects. As long as he performs well, he doesn't have to worry about money, and there is no need to participate in fake matches.
Looking at the chat screenshots exposed by the bookmakers, the time when BO participated in the match-fixing was when he was just playing professionally in the German Cup.
Moreover, what is controlled is not winning or losing, but more obscure items with higher odds such as the first dragon, the first baron, and the length of time.
Later, BO played smoothly in the LPL, and his net worth increased dozens or hundreds of times, so he began to cherish his feathers and was unwilling to participate in fake matches.
How could the banker, having tasted the sweetness, give up and try to use the past black materials to threaten the BO to continue to fake the match. The conflicts between the two parties continued to make plans, which led to this hammering incident.
"I deliberately watched the German Cup games, and I feel that I can basically put them into practice."
"I thought it was because newcomers tend to get nervous easily, but it turns out I bought it. No wonder I lost the dragon inexplicably."
"Hahaha, xswl, I thought it was a BO person's biography, but I didn't expect it was a BO dish that made money!"
"Strongly request the alliance to investigate strictly, I am a pornographic person and gambling and drug addiction are incompatible!"
"WE and V5 spent two years to elevate the LPL to the first division, but overnight, the LPL became a fake league."
"I suspect that some of them are adding fuel to the flames. On the eve of FPX's DT match, the main jungler was punished for fake matches. Needless to say who is the direct beneficiary?"
"Can chat screenshots be used as solid evidence these days? Just wait for the results of the alliance investigation and let the bullets fly for a while."
"I'm afraid that pulling out the carrot will bring out the mud. LPL spinach has become popular and is rotten to the core. Not many clubs are clean."
"Get to the bottom of it! All match fixers will be permanently banned. Dog gamblers who participate in spinach do not deserve sympathy!"
……
That night, an official announcement from FPX completely pushed this incident to a climax.
BO took the initiative to report to the club the inappropriate competitive behavior he was coerced into participating in during the German Cup match.
The FPX club management immediately reported it to the LPL official disciplinary management committee and cooperated with the league overnight to launch an investigation.
Before the league investigates, FPX will suspend BO from participating to ensure the fairness and justice of the LPL competition.
For a moment, the alliance was shaken.
Subsequently, countless "informed people" jumped out and exposed various BO's dirty information.
In my early years, I played as a power-trainer. I had a girlfriend who coaxed a rich woman, and even tricked my teammates into cheating on me with the female boss.
I just smoked in the club toilet, and sometimes puffed up in the training room openly.
I often have a bad mouth when I'm ranking, and it's common to diss my teammates and other players.
Tsk, tsk, it can be said that everyone is pushing against the wall.
"FPX was thoroughly investigated overnight, and the jungler had to be replaced. How much strength can they retain in the DT game tomorrow night?"
"Coercion? This wording is a bit interesting, let's go on and wash it!"
"There is a saying that Kimchi Country has written into the law that match-fixing is illegal, which shows that the industry environment is indeed much more mature. No matter how famous you have been or how many honors you have obtained, once you engage in match-fixing, you will be immediately disgraced.
”
"Emotionally speaking, I hope the league will punish BO heavily, but from a rational analysis, if BO takes the initiative to report and is heavily fined, the bookmakers will be more unscrupulous in manipulating players who have faked games, and players who have been coerced will not dare to come forward and surrender.
, unable to establish a successful case."
"FPX's public relations are good. They respected the LPL official and gave an explanation to the fans. They took advantage of the situation to clear up their relationship and said that they were also victims. They stopped the losses to the maximum extent."
"It's a pity that BO's biography came to an abrupt end before it was warmed up!"
