LOL: The strongest all-Chinese team? My G2 top laner

After the police report receipt was sent out, the online sentiment did indeed shift slightly:

"They called the police? I give this move a perfect score; it's much better than those who just send lawyer's letters."

"To be honest, if someone dares to call the police, it means they have nothing to hide, right? People who are really throwing the match would love for the matter to pass quickly; who would willingly call the police?"

"You're still too young. Calling the police doesn't guarantee innocence. Don't you understand that?"

"Exactly, some people are just guilty and deliberately create a big news story to try and clear their name."

"I don't care, I believe Demon! I watched that match last year. That first blood was clearly a communication problem. MLXG was in the top lane river, he was waiting for the jungler to come and get an assist before pushing the lane. How can that be called match-fixing?"

"Hey, is the person upstairs a paid shill hired by Demon? How much do you charge per post? Can you help me out?"

"..."

However, these normal comments are still in the minority.

The insults continued.

But at least, some different voices started to emerge in the comments section.

Those who had actually watched the game and understood it began to speak up for Jiang Ling.

After all, the "Wu Signing Incident" in 2018 had not yet occurred.

What is the most common course of action for public figures when faced with rumors and slander?

A lawyer's letter warning.

Send a lawyer's letter, commissioning a private legal service agency to issue a "warning".

But in essence, a lawyer's letter is just a "scare tactic".

There is no coercive force involved.

Jiang Ling, however, went directly to the police station to report the case!

Involve state public authorities.

Let the police investigate.

Receiving a police report receipt means that the matter has entered the formal investigation process.

The difference between a lawyer's letter and a police report is obvious to any normal person.

Therefore, those netizens who were not mindless haters, not royal supporters, and not keyboard warriors all underwent a subtle change in attitude after seeing that police report receipt:

Jiang Ling glanced through the comments and nodded slightly.

"It's alright, at least some of them are still thinking clearly."

He logged out of Weibo, and his phone vibrated again.

Weibo special attention reminder.

RNG Esports Club's official account posted a new update.

Oh, I forgot to unfollow.

Jiang Ling swiped her finger and clicked on it.

@RNG Esports Club:

[Statement Regarding Recent Online Allegations that Former RNG Player Demon Was Suspected of Match-Fixing]

"Recently, our club has noticed online comments regarding former RNG top laner Demon (Jiang Ling) allegedly fixing a match during the 2017 LPL Summer Split regular season game against LGD."

Our club takes this matter very seriously.

RNG Esports Club has always firmly opposed any form of match-fixing, gambling, or other illegal or irregular activities, and has always adhered to the principle of fair competition.

In response to the online allegations, our club will immediately launch an internal investigation to conduct a comprehensive review of the circumstances surrounding the match.

Meanwhile, our club reserves the right to pursue legal action against those who spread rumors.

Hereby declare.

RNG Esports Club

……

Jiang Ling chuckled upon seeing this.

What a fine internal investigation!

Whether it can be found out, when it will be found out, whether it will be made public after it is found out, and what the contents of the public announcement will be...

It all depends on RNG's mood.

The real purpose of this statement is not to find out the truth.

Instead, it's implying to netizens:

"Look, even RNG thinks there's something wrong with this, and they're 'investigating' it."

"What does this mean? It means Demon is indeed suspicious!"

On the surface, they appear to be neutral, but in reality, they are extremely insidious!

But the comments section has already exploded:

"RNG did a great job! This kind of match-fixing should be thoroughly investigated!"

"Support the club! They must give the LPL an explanation!"

"I knew RNG hadn't been keeping him on the bench; they'd already figured out the problem!"

"RNG is cleaning house this time!"

"We hope the club will investigate thoroughly and release the results so everyone can see the true face of this dog racing rig!"

"..."

Shortly after RNG released their statement, the LPL official also issued a similar statement:

[Statement Regarding Former RNG Player Demon's Alleged Match-Fixing]

"Recently, our league received reports from netizens and clubs that Demon (Jiang Ling), the former top laner of RNG esports club, was suspected of match-fixing during the 2017 LPL Summer Split regular season."

The League of Legends Pro League (LPL) has taken this matter very seriously and has officially launched an investigation.

According to the relevant provisions of the League of Legends Pro League Competition Rules, before the investigation results are released, the league has decided to temporarily suspend Demon, prohibiting him from participating in any League of Legends-related events under Tencent and Riot Games.

The final investigation results and proposed actions will be announced separately after the investigation concludes.

LPL (League of Legends Pro League) Official Website

……

As Jiang Ling predicted, the LPL's temporary suspension decision was seen by uninformed netizens as "official confirmation":

"Holy crap, even the official channels have intervened! This must be solid proof, right?"

"A provisional suspension? Doesn't that mean he's admitting to match-fixing?"

"Hahahaha! The dog racing match-fixing has finally been punished!"

"G2: Can we return this item? I need an answer urgently."

"This is hilarious! He just filed a police report, and the next thing he's suspended. That's a really quick turn of events!"

"Demon: I've called the police. LPL official: Okay, stop fighting for now."

"The comment upstairs is destined to be amazing!"

"..."

Jiang Ling looked at these comments and took a deep breath.

Official statement from RNG.

The LPL officially banned him from the competition.

The two messages, one after the other, were perfectly coordinated.

It was as if they had rehearsed it.

"That's a really clever tactic."

……

For the next few days, Jiang Ling's phone kept ringing.

The number of private messages on Weibo's backend skyrocketed.

6 million, 8 million, 12 million...

Jiang Ling randomly clicked on a few messages, all of which were insults:

"Fake racing dogs, go to hell!"

"Someone like you doesn't deserve to be a professional player. Get out of the esports scene!"

"Match-fixing is a death sentence, I'll fucking kill you."

"..."

A chorus of curses.

Moreover, most of them, once you click into their homepage, you can tell they are royal fans.

"This is utterly lawless."

Jiang Ling shook her head.

These people are used to running rampant in the online world.

……

After submitting the required documents for the visa application to the German embassy, ​​Jiang Ling had nothing urgent to attend to for the time being.

He stayed in Shanghai for two more days, meeting up with some friends from the industry.

Then, carrying a snakeskin bag, he bought a high-speed rail ticket back to his hometown of Wenzhou.

The following days.

The online criticism has not stopped.

It even escalated.

Every day, new "insiders" come out to reveal information.

New "evidence" is being released every day.

Although those so-called "evidence" are not evidence at all!

But some people still believe it.

In just a few days, the fact that Demon fixed the match has been almost considered an ironclad case online.

……

The date is March 8st.

That day, a bombshell announcement was made.

The Asian Electronic Sports Federation has officially announced the list of participants and staff for the League of Legends demonstration event at the Jakarta Asian Games.

The Chinese team's lineup is as follows:

Top Lane: RNG_Letme

Jungler: RNG_MLXG

Mid laner: WE丶Xiye

ADC: RNG_Uzi

Support: EDG_Meiko

Substitute: RNG_Ming

Coach: EDG_Abu

……

The release of this list caused a sensation throughout the LPL community.

It's worth noting that the selection process began immediately after League of Legends was officially selected as a demonstration sport for the Jakarta Asian Games on May 14.

Due to the tight schedule, the Asian Electronic Sports Federation opened a green channel for the Chinese team, allowing them to submit their roster before the start of the qualifiers on June 8.

Players are recommended by their respective clubs, and then reviewed by officials and relevant departments through multiple dimensions before the final list is determined and the signing process is completed.

The players and coaches on this list are undoubtedly the best in the LPL right now.

It best represents the strength of Chinese esports!

The roster includes players from RNG for all four positions: top lane, jungle, ADC, and substitute!

What does this tell us?

This shows that RNG players' strength and competitiveness have received the highest level of recognition in the official and relevant departmental review standards!

The royal supporters are going wild again...
