The recent match-fixing allegations involving the jungler of LPL's TES team have seen new developments. TES head coach Poppy, while co-streaming with a secondary streamer during a match, revealed in his live stream that Cream has already "confessed." According to him, every playoff loss was a fixed match. Poppy also disclosed: Cream is actually very strong; he can win or lose as he wishes. If Cream played seriously, I dare not imagine how far TES could go.

Once Poppy's words came out, the League community exploded. TES lost two out of three playoff matches. Based on his statement, Cream fixed matches against JDG and Weibo. However, shortly after, Lianlian Hongcha revealed: Poppy was warned by officials; his words were exaggerated. Subsequently, Poppy issued an apology: I got carried away in the conversation; please refer to the official investigation.

Wow, first claiming all losses were fixed matches, then saying he was just talking nonsense—the underlying intrigue seems quite deep. Besides Coach Poppy, Xiao Yuji, who operates companion gaming services in the League community, recently posted exposing insider information. According to her, Cream's situation is similar to BO's before—both were coerced. That means his past match-fixing history in the secondary league is being held by others.

BO previously confessed proactively, resulting in an official suspension; no LPL team dared to recruit him. Seeing BO's outcome, Cream dared not proactively confess to the club or officials, leading him to continue making mistakes and cooperate with match-fixers. Honestly, BO's punishment for match-fixing was indeed too severe. Even after proactively "confessing," he was suspended, causing subsequent match-fixing players to hesitate to confess to officials.

However, this is not a justification for players to fix matches. Cream's actions this time are severe. Previous players were caught fixing matches in LDL; he directly fixed matches in LPL, which will lead to more serious consequences. To protect the league's reputation and warn other players, LPL officials will undoubtedly impose heavy penalties. Cream might become a典型案例, the first player to be severely punished.

These match-fixing players deserve no sympathy. After Cream leaves, TES's jungler for the second stage seems to become a major issue again. After JDG and BLG's finals, the transfer window opens. Currently, TES's best option appears to be Tian. According to Hongcha's爆料, Guo Hao has maintained contact with Tian; Tian might return to TES in the second stage.

If哥哥returns and Tian also comes back, TES only needs to find a capable support to ensure their战力in the second stage isn't particularly low. Current free-agent supports include Meiko and Liu Qing Song, but TES fans aren't very welcoming to either. Possibly Feng Yue will start. If the jungler and AD return and磨合well, TES has the potential to冲击world championships;哥哥's ability to lead supports is not bad.

If Cream hadn't fixed matches, TES could likely have won against Weibo. In the decisive game,小奶油had over 500 stacks, with a小火龙leading by 8K gold against its counterpart. If the frontline could hold a few more seconds, preventing Jinx from启动,小奶油's小火龙could have收割. Cream's match-fixing this time is堪称LPL历史之最; he ruined TES's chance to enter the top three and damaged the league's reputation.

Conclusion:

Completely杜绝match-fixing is impossible, but officials must take severe action this time. Ideally, sending Cream away would警告those currently fixing matches or considering it. However, for those who proactively confess, honestly, lighter penalties could be applied; otherwise, no one will dare to confess proactively.

So, what do you think about Tian returning to TES?
