LPL is pretty well known for taking tribalism to the next level and disrespecting, in all sorts of ways, THEIR OWN PLAYERS, just because of their nationality. How many Korean players in LPL have been accused of playing poorly on purpose due to ulterior motives?
Surprisingly enough, the list of victimized Korean players in LPL includes those that won LPL their Worlds trophies.
Some of the staple names (not only the Worlds winners) includes but are not limited to the likes of Scout, TheShy, Rookie, Kanavi, etc.
Due to this toxic discriminatory culture that has settled down as the foundation of LPL’s fan-culture, it is only a matter of time before new LPL-recruits like Ruler also face such blatant discriminations since everyone makes mistakes sooner or later.
With that said, just thought it would be funny if LCK made a team with the players that have spy allegations in LPL.
The team should be called Spies-R-Us and their roster could look something like this:
Top: TheShy
Jungle: Kanavi
Mid: Scout/Rookie
Adc: Viper
Sup: (Not Sure)
I know it’s obviously a shitpost but from what I’ve seen on more “serious” communities (resemble more reddit than Twitter hiveminds), Chinese players get more hate than the Korean imports that sometimes can’t adapt. Damn the hate I’ve seen on Xiaohu, 369, knight was wild. Tarzan and Scout are the only import receiving shit ton of mean comments but the scout thing also comes from the EDG saga, the most popular team in China. And Tarzan idk people love to shit on him for whatever reason. Rookie and theshy are beloved, half of the criticism is meme.
Tarzan you don’t know? Did you watch LNG?
nah it’s definitely not a simple shitpost if you check OP comments on other posts here. It’s nationalist with strong political agenda implication.
