After NIP's victory over IG, Doinb caused controversy due to his remarks of "making black fans kneel", and was finally suspected of being sanctioned by the official and issued an apology, which once again pushed the norms of words and deeds of e-sports players to the forefront of public opinion.
As a professional player, Doinb should have maintained humility and demeanor after the victory, although his radical rhetoric may be due to the emotional catharsis of facing online violence for a long time, but the words and deeds of public figures have a magnifying effect, and this straightforward and extreme expression will inevitably trigger a backlash from public opinion.
Black fans are indeed a major problem for many players, but responding with confrontational rhetoric will only lead to a vicious circle, which will not really resolve the conflict, and may also damage personal image and career development.
Doinb's apology reflects his reflection and responsibility for the incident, but also reminds all practitioners that e-sports is a competitive field of public concern, and the professionalism of players is not only reflected in the performance on the field, but also in their words and deeds outside the field.
Victory is worth celebrating, but how to express it in a more positive and appropriate way is a question that every professional player needs to think about, and in addition, platforms and officials should also take more responsibility, not only to regulate inappropriate behavior, but also to improve the protection mechanism for players, to avoid the long-term damage of online violence to the psychology of players.
Only in a healthy environment can the e-sports industry continue to develop, and the positive interaction between players and fans can be realized.
