After Ke Jie suffered many unfavorable penalties in the LG Cup finals and withdrew from the game in anger, on the evening of January 25, Beijing time, the Chinese Weiqi Association issued a notice to each league team, requiring Weijia, women's Weijia, and national team competitions (men's B, men's C, and women's teams) to borrow chess players without foreign aid.

Some of the teams participating in the Go League also confirmed that they did receive this notice, and some teams originally planned to train newcomers this year, and did not plan to hire foreign aid, which also means that there will be no Korean chess players in the new season.

As we all know, the traditional Go powers are only China and South Korea, so the current foreign aid of the Chinese Go League is mainly Korean chess players, a total of 8 foreign aid, 7 Korean chess players, 1 Japanese chess player, Japanese chess players only played 3 times in the regular season, and other Korean chess players played more than 10 times, and the Korean chess player Bian Xiangyi, who just "won" the LG Cup, appeared as many as 17 times.

Therefore, with the ban on foreign aid in the new season of the Chinese Weijia League,This move may cause South Korean chess player Bian Xiangyi to lose nearly 1 million yuan in income, and will also affect nearly 20 Korean first-line male and female chess players, and the total economic loss may exceed 10 million yuan.

This move of the Chinese Go Association can't help but remind people of the 2002 South Korea-Japan World Cup, after being eliminated from the top 8 of the World Cup by South Korea in many controversial punishments, the Serie A teams also reached a consensus for a long time not to introduce South Korean foreign aid. And An Zhenhuan, who beat Italy in the World Cup, was directly expelled from the old club Perugia of Serie A, and now this move of the Chinese Go Association can be said to be similar to that of Italy back then.

Many netizens praised this measure: "This countermeasure should be praised!" You have to be tough in the face of scoundrels, don't blame us! ": "I just want to say that well done, South Korea and Bian Xiangyi deserve it!" "I hope that the Chinese Chess Association and all clubs can adhere to this system!" ”
