The Legendary Doinb Sparks Controversy Again
As we know, during the recent competition week, the legendary League of Legends player from China, Doinb, made a spectacular return and demonstrated an outstanding performance. Not only showcasing his skills and abilities, but he also helped Ninjas in Pyjamas to convincingly conquer the “super team” Invictus Gaming, featuring stars like TheShy and Rookie.
Moreover, with a strong personality and unfiltered attitude, Doinb engaged in intense “trash talk” after the match concluded: “To all the fans who always support me, you have a day to celebrate. As we know, our support is only 3% compared to the 97% from the opposite side. With this 3%, I truly feel the pressure. And I want to say to all those who remain: QUIT NOW!!!”
Of course, given Doinb’s nature, not many viewers felt comfortable with his “provocative” remarks live on air. However, IG fans—who are still “mourning” after their team’s defeat—cannot accept it.
Many LPL Fans Demand “Punishment” for Doinb
On various social media platforms in China, many opinions have called for the LPL organizers and Riot to take action against Doinb’s behavior during the match against NIP. “His behavior was too arrogant. It’s an act of disrespecting the audience,” stated one comment on Weibo.
Despite this, according to many fans, the reality is that Doinb and NIP should only receive a minor penalty for their overly provocative reactions. After all, the match against IG was Doinb’s first professional match in over two years. His sudden emotional outburst could be understood.
Furthermore, according to various statistics, Doinb quickly attracted a significant viewership (over 1 million at peak times—based on streaming platforms in China) for the LPL. Therefore, the tournament organizers may give him a “pass,” especially in the context where the LPL has been losing viewers after several years of stagnation since the last World Championship.
