Ye Qiu, reborn as the King's Avatar, and his younger brother and sister-in-law Su Mucheng

Chapter 118 Royal Wind Team Match-Fixing Scandal, League Revises Rules!
Ye Qiu did not accept Chen Tao Hai's advice, so in G2 against the Zhu Xian team, the Xing Xin team won the game with an absolute advantage of 10:0, sweeping the Zhu Xian team out of the competition with a score of 2:0 and becoming the first team to enter the semifinals.

To Ye Qiu's surprise, when he returned to his dormitory and opened the Glory official website, he found that the match between the Royal Wind team and the Tiny Herb team, which started half an hour later than theirs, had actually been won by the Tiny Herb team!

"Impossible! How could Team Tiny Herb win on Team Royal Wind's home turf?"

Ye Qiu quickly started watching the replay of the two teams' match.

In the one-on-one matches, Huangfeng team won two out of three, and in the arena match, they won without any suspense.

Huangfeng team advanced to the team competition with a score of 4:1.

In other words, did Team Royal Wind lose to Team Tiny Herb in the team competition?

Ye Qiu quickly watched the team match video of the two teams. After watching the 13-minute team match video, Ye Qiu understood the situation.

Match-fixing!

That's right, it was a real match-fixing incident.

Although the Royal Wind team put on a very realistic performance in this match, fake is fake. No matter how realistic it is, it is still fake.

What is fake can never become real.

Specifically, during the match, Team Royal Wind not only chose a team map that favored Team Tiny Herb, but also, during the match, their captain, Lü Liang, deliberately devised a flawed tactical arrangement that offered no advantage whatsoever to Royal Wind.

Then, the players from the Royal Wind team seemed distracted during the battle. These usually fierce players all looked like they hadn't had enough rest and performed extremely poorly.

If it's a newly formed team, and the playoff schedule is tight, and the players lack experience, have poor mental fortitude, and are nervous, then they won't perform well.

This is understandable.

However, the Royal Wind team happens to be the most experienced veteran team among this year's Glory teams, and its captain is an e-sports star player who returned from abroad.

Royal Wind is the team least likely to experience this situation.

But this is exactly what happened in this match. In the team competition, Huangfeng team was suppressed by Tiny Herb team throughout the game. In the end, in the one-on-one duel between Lü Liang and Lin Jie, Lü Liang actually lost to Lin Jie.

This drama of a strong team being defeated by a weak team is very exciting and thrilling for casual viewers and fans of Team Tiny Herb.

However, in Ye Qiu's eyes, the Royal Wind team's acting in this match was too clumsy!

Ye Qiu immediately realized that this was a fixed match. The Royal Wind team was after the profits from the playoffs and wanted to play one more playoff game to make more money.

After all, their match had nearly 3 spectators.

Moreover, the average ticket price for Huangfeng is around 200.

In other words, Huangfeng can earn 600 million in ticket sales from this one match.

This is a huge sum of money!

Even after paying taxes, giving the alliance a 35% cut, and incurring various expenses, Royal Wind can still earn about two million.

Earning two million in one game is more than the income of an entire regular season.

It's no wonder that Team Royal Wind was tempted.

As a veteran esports team, Royal Wind's expenses are definitely much higher than those of other teams, and their profit-driven motives are also much stronger.

They switched to Honor just to make money there.

They are not like other players, striving for any dream.

They are striving to make money.

Therefore, Ye Qiu understood perfectly why they deliberately lost.

However, Huang Feng's vision was still too short-sighted.

If the Glory League can only last for one or two years, or even two or three years, then it's right for Team Royal Wind to choose to make as much money as possible.

However, Glory's future development will only get better and better. Bearing such a dark history for a mere two million in revenue would definitely be detrimental to the Royal Wind team's development. Ye Qiu wondered if the Royal Wind team's rapid decline in the original story was due to their failure to win the championship this season, coupled with this match-fixing incident.

However, he believes that the match-fixing incident must have played a role in it.

A team that abandons professional ethics for money will certainly not be able to attract true geniuses with a spirit of honor.

Otherwise, since both Huangfeng and Tiny Herb are based in Beijing, why is it that Tiny Herb's development is getting better and better, while Huangfeng's peak was followed by a rapid decline?

Ye Qiu turned off the video and then went to the official Honor forum.

Ye Qiu casually browsed through the forums and, sure enough, there were many posts condemning and accusing the Royal Wind team of match-fixing.

Such blatant match-fixing cannot be concealed.

No matter how many excuses the Royal Wind team makes, they can't cover up their foolish behavior.

Ye Qiu shook his head, turned off the computer, and went back to bed to rest.

The next day, Ye Qiu arrived at Happy's training room and immediately heard Duan Fei and others discussing the match-fixing incident involving the Royal Wind team.

"Captain, the Royal Wind team actually threw the match last night!"

"Yeah, they're so strong, yet they lost to Team Tiny Herb on their home turf. It's ridiculous."

"Their acting was so bad, anyone with eyes could see that they were throwing the match."

As soon as Ye Qiu sat down, Duan Fei and the others started chattering away.

Ye Qiu didn't show any surprise, after all, he already knew the result last night.

After turning on his computer, Ye Qiu addressed the group, saying, "Whether it was match-fixing or not, the authorities will likely investigate. Let's begin today's training. We can deal with the gossip later, after training."

Everyone had no choice but to put aside the drama surrounding the Royal Wind team and begin their daily training for the new day.

After training, Duan Fei and the others immediately opened the Glory Forum to observe Jia Saigua's close-combat skills.

During the league's investigation and interviews, the Royal Wind team consistently denied match-fixing. Their explanation was that their players performed poorly, Captain Lü Liang's tactics were not well-coordinated, and various other factors led to their loss.

They even shamelessly claimed that in the world of sports, there have always been cases of weak teams defeating strong teams and making a comeback, just like the upset miracles in basketball.

This is glory, isn't it?

Therefore, we must respect the result. In fact, no one is more upset than us, Huangfeng, for losing the game.

But when miracles happen, they have no choice but to accept them.

Amidst the endless wrangling within the Royal Wind team, even the league couldn't definitively prove that Royal Wind had cheated.

Even if Team Royal Wind is very strong, miracles can still happen to Team Tiny Herb.

The Black Eight miracle didn't happen, but the Black Seven miracle might happen.

It has to be said that Huangfeng team refused to admit anything, and the league had no way to punish Huangfeng, so they could only appease and punish them.

Ultimately, the league imposed a fine of 50 yuan on the Royal Wind team for this match-fixing scandal.

Furthermore, the league has revised its match-fixing rules to strictly prohibit match-fixing.

If match-fixing occurs in the future, those who commit such acts will be severely punished, and those who commit such acts will be stripped of their professional qualifications and permanently banned from employment!
This punishment is severe enough.

Once match-fixing is discovered, the individual will be stripped of their professional qualification, expelled from the Glory League, and permanently banned from employment.

Such punishment is just as threatening as executing corrupt officials, counterfeiters, or unscrupulous businessmen.

Under such a system that leaves no room for maneuver, anyone who wants to commit fraud should think twice about how many bullets they're willing to take.
