The most famous female streamer in China, Ayi, is a challenger player who fascinates viewers on Douyu with incredible skills and funny commenting. However, recently, a guy named Xiaohong made a video to prove that Ayi is actually not the one playing the games, instead, she just sits in front of the screen and pretend to click the mouse while a guy sits across her plays from another acreen connected to the same pc. This is Xiaohong's original video Translation: *00:43 - 01:18 Unlike any other challenger streamers, Ayi is able to consistently comment on the game during intense teamfights. *01:31 - 02:11 Being a conversational streamer who likes to comment on everthing, Ayi never says anything about her builds. Instead, she often say something completely irrelevant when she purchases items(The most reasonable explanation is she doesn't know what the player is gonna build either) *02:50 - 03:23 Ayi's commenting is always seconds after her champion's action(In the footage, Ayi said "Should I try to steal it?" after Ezreal used ult). *03:19 - 03:50 As Ezreal used ult, Ayi said "You think I'm a fool?" twice. The first time with an indicative tone and the second time with an emphasizing tone. Imagine hit something saying "Ah" then 1 second later saying "AHHH!" *04:29 - 07:01 Everytime she types she seems to move her body after the chat box pops up, and only repeats after her typing, while outside of the game she usually say what's on her mind first then type it out. *08:06 - 10:44 The sound of mouse clicking is either missing or unmatched with her action in game. *11:13 - 12:00 When the enemy akali approached from the top of the screen, Ezreal already found out as he was retreating from the dragon pit, but Ayi was still saying "dragon, dragon". It was right before ezreal got killed that Ayi finally realized and shouted "protect me". *13:12 - 15:34 While chatting with her viewers, Ayi put her hands on her lap and was swaying her body back and forth. However, the mouse in the screen quickly finished editing masteries. This is the most solid proof. This is Xiaohong's Weibo, he's been posting follow-ups. After this video, a guy named wolf jumped out and confirmed that the challenger account Ayi has been using to stream was purchased from him in 2014. source This is Ayi's stream, She's been streaming with a cam focused on her left hand to show she is the one playing, but at the same time, she's playing on her smurf and doing not so great. This has been going viral on Weibo for a week but neither Riot nor Tencent has involved yet, so I felt like more international attention were needed. Sorry for my English if not fluent. When Ayi was on a TV show she claimed she makes ten million RMB (around 1.5 million USD) per year. source If this is true then all the profit she made would be nothing different than a fraud. The most recent proof: someone found this on one of Ayi's past VODs. The words on the lower right corner of her screen says "qi674636980 is remotely controlling this pc".

I'm not actually sure that "fake streaming" would be against the rules. Account sharing/purchasing is, so if that part's true she'd get in trouble for it, but...

Pretending to be playing doesn't really hurt anyone. It's conning viewers, but if she HADN'T bought the account, and the account belonged to the actual player, then I don't think she would be breaking any rules on the game's side.

She still is streaming, just isn't the one playing the game, all she is doing is lying that she is playing, which isn't anything forbidden. Hell she probably pays the person that actually plays anyway.
