Protecting the Fairness of LOL esports, Let people know about Korean's behavior
By posting this discussion, I am not claiming that Uzi as well as other players did nothing wrong. I am not debating on whether they should be punished for their negative behaviors.
I just want the audience to know some of the facts that have not been mentioned behind the recent events. I also hope I can raise people's awareness of e-sporting fairness through this discussion, since no one want 2002 World Cup - the disgrace of sport happens again in e-sports.
As the S8 starts up in Korea, a heated discussion about Uzi's "unfair" treatment in Korea has began across the internet.
We all know that before the World Championship, teams from different regions will come to the host country to do the pregame training. RNG from LPL is no exception. When the players hope that they can have good matches for training, in the beginning of a match, Uzi was recognized by Korean players, they start to abuse Uzi by calling Uzi "Good Pig“, and int Uzi's games. When Uzi asked for a bot gank, the Korean players typed "shut up pig". After that, most shamelessly, the south Koreans used a title to ask "ban" Uzi, report & blame Uzi's poor records with int in the game.
What's outrageous is that there's also a Korean streamer who publicly insults Uzi, then he called on his audience to attack him too.
For example, here is a jng who typed "RNG lose, Geng.g win" and started to feed in the bot lane. http://5b0988e595225.cdn.sohucs.com/images/20181009/bcbdacc70bf64a4495bc07d4358854be.jpeg
