The semifinals of the LOL Pioneer Tournament have been finalized. The two LPL teams will clash in the playoffs, securing at least a second-place result, which is satisfactory. Yet, there is worry that JDG could unexpectedly excel in the semifinals and eliminate BLG, given their frequent encounters in the regular season and Tabe's previous coaching of BLG and familiarity with its players. If JDG truly wins, LPL will be deprived of the title.

JDG has already faced GEN once, playing three matches without even reaching GEN's high ground much. If JDG meets GEN in the finals, there would be little chance of victory. However, G2 might also surprise viewers, as they swept LCK's second seed BFX when underestimated. Perhaps Caps will perform exceptionally and lead his team to overthrow GEN, though such possibility is quite low.

Oner suggests canceling MSI.

After T1 missed the Pioneer Tournament, all members have been streaming recently. Oner, perhaps due to too much rest, directly suggested to officials to change the tournament format during his stream: In my opinion, we should operate like baseball leagues, cancel MSI and similar events, merge Spring and Summer splits into over 100 matches, playing one per day. In the Autumn split, only the Autumn champions from each region would participate in the World Championship.

If following Oner's idea, the World Championship would resemble last year's Pioneer Tournament, with five teams from major regions competing for the title within a week. Honestly, his suggestion is somewhat self-sabotaging, as T1 hasn't won a league title for a long time. Under such format, T1 might never reach Worlds again. Playing over 100 consecutive days, only an athlete like him could endure such intensity.

LPL's top commentator exposed for soliciting prostitution.

LPL's primary commentator for LCK broadcasts, Sask, recently faced criticism over his personal reputation. After he and Mage publicly announced their relationship, his ex-girlfriend couldn't stand it and came forward with爆料. She claimed that during their relationship, Sask constantly promoted a CP with Mage, ignoring her feelings. Additionally, he often engaged in PUA behavior. After two years, he abruptly ended the relationship and immediately moved on without a gap. She even爆料 that Sask frequently solicited prostitution.

Just half a month after the public announcement, the ex-girlfriend came out to expose him, suggesting Sask's private life is somewhat chaotic. After being targeted, Sask responded in his stream: Private matters are private,没必要直播说. When the时机 arrives, he will disclose on social media. Without the courage to respond directly, does Brother Beng really have issues? However, these are unilateral爆料, not fully confirmed, so we shouldn't jump to conclusions.

Former FPX manager exposes match-fixing.

Regarding the match-fixing incident involving TES jungler Cream, after the investigation announcement, there has been no follow-up. Officials are likely still verifying and will announce penalties later. Former FPX战队青训 and手游 manager麦特 recently discussed the现状 of match-fixing in an interview.麦特 stated: Many match-fixing organizers have approached him, offering 20,000 yuan for just one training screenshot.

During the interview,麦特 also爆料 the price for players' first match-fixing. Organizers' initial offers are often huge, starting from several hundred thousand (at least 300,000 yuan). Thus, many players succumb to such诱惑. However, after the first fixed match, organizers gradually reduce payments because they hold the players' leverage. If players refuse to continue, organizers would expose them, ending their careers directly.

Conclusion:

Match-fixing is indeed hard to completely prohibit, as not every professional player can reach the次级联赛. Facing enormous诱惑, it's truly difficult to resist. Additionally, the FPX manager爆料 that many players enjoy playing德州. He heard of the biggest loss, where someone lost over 10 million yuan in one night.

So, who do you think lost over 10 million yuan?
