The LPL match-fixing incident has taken a turn, with Milkyway confronting the allegations and choosing to report them to the police, while the accuser has deleted their account and fled.

Hello to all LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is Tianxia Game Exchange.

Recently, a wave of match-fixing allegations has surfaced in the LPL, concerning the player Milkyway. Some netizens have shared chat logs as evidence, accusing him of selling team strategies during last year's De Cup.

Following this, FPX swiftly severed ties with Milkyway, and it seemed this incident was confirmed, but today there has been a reversal.

The match-fixing incident has reversed, with Milkyway stepping up to confront the allegations.

The accuser shared chat logs from VX, and these logs were captured using a mobile phone rather than a screenshot. From the images, it can be seen that the phone's protective film has cracks, which is why many believe this evidence appears more credible.

The nickname displayed in the chat logs is also Milkyway's, and since people generally think there’s no need to slander a lesser-known player, most assumed that Milkyway had indeed engaged in match-fixing.

However, today Milkyway directly confronted the accuser, engaging in a series of exchanges on Weibo, and even initiated legal action regarding the defamation incident, reporting it to the authorities for assistance.

Initially, the accuser fought back, questioning whether the chat logs were fabricated and suggesting that Uncle Hat could take a look, asking why there was such a confrontation. After several exchanges, the accuser chose to delete their Weibo account and fled, while Milkyway stated that deleting the account was futile, as he had screenshots as new evidence.

In other words, after Milkyway’s confrontation with the accuser, the accuser was unable to stand firm, thus concluding this round of online exchanges.

Doubts about the match-fixing incident, the costs of slander and refutation.

After the confrontation, everyone began discussing the matter. Based on the outcome of the exchanges, it is undoubtedly Milkyway who emerged victorious, as the accuser fled out of fear of responsibility. However, some netizens feel that there are certain doubts regarding this matter, which can be analyzed from the perspective of the costs of slander and refutation.

Firstly, accusing a player of match-fixing is actually a highly risky endeavor. Regarding the chat logs, it is indeed possible that the accuser used a rather old phone to fabricate the chat logs and then took a photo with another phone, creating what appears to be credible evidence.

However, if the accused suffers from baseless slander, the consequences can be very severe.

From this perspective, it is possible that Milkyway, upon receiving the match-fixing accusations, immediately took steps to manage his chat logs and bank statements, and then confronted the situation head-on.

On the other hand, the costs for the refuting side, Milkyway, are also substantial. FPX has already severed ties with him, leaving Milkyway with little chance to compete. He will have to undergo an investigation by the league, which may take some time, and he likely won't be able to participate in many matches this year.

Awaiting the league's investigation, the Bo incident has been brought up again.

If Milkyway is innocent in this incident, the damage caused by the accuser is significant. If the accuser is not severely punished, similar incidents may occur in the future, where the accuser might falsely accuse even more prominent players, hindering their ability to compete properly.

In summary, this incident raises considerable doubts. Personally, I believe that as viewers, it is advisable not to take sides prematurely, even if the accuser has deleted their account. The possibility that Milkyway engaged in match-fixing cannot be ruled out, as previously, the FPX team had a player named Bo, who was coerced by gamblers to fix matches and later chose to expose the situation, yet still faced severe penalties.

The controversy surrounding the Bo incident was significant, with some viewers believing Bo should be given a second chance, while others felt that he deserved the punishment for having engaged in match-fixing.

Therefore, many viewers draw parallels between Bo's case and Milkyway's situation, believing that in the face of match-fixing allegations, one must confront the accusations head-on. Regardless of whether one has actually engaged in match-fixing, it is essential to fight for the possibility of winning, as being found guilty of match-fixing would effectively end a professional career.
