Hello to all LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is World Game Hub.

Recently, the match-fixing scandal in the LPL region has been boiling over, sparking widespread discussion. Many insiders have also provided revelations, leading viewers to doubt the authenticity of many league matches.

During this process, TES coach Poppy's live-stream comments have caught everyone's attention.

TES still has a clown, Poppy receives warning from the league.

Regarding the match-fixing issue involving Cream, the biggest clown is undoubtedly top-laner 369. When everyone suspected match-fixing, he stepped in to defend his teammate, arguing that viewers had no evidence to accuse players of match-fixing and questioning how new players could grow in such an environment. After being proven wrong, he posted on Weibo admitting he was a clown.

The most absurd part is that TES match-fixing revelations indicate that both TES's Cream and bottom-laner Jiaqi suspected Cream of match-fixing, but 369 acted purely naive and even engaged in arguments with viewers.

Then yesterday, another clown emerged within the TES team—Coach Poppy. During a live stream, he astonishingly revealed that Cream told him: "Every playoff loss involved match-fixing."

After this live-stream clip circulated, everyone debated whether Poppy's statement about Cream referred to all LPL playoff teams' losses involving match-fixing or only TES's matches. Either scenario seems exaggerated; if true, the LPL might as well shut down.

Soon afterward, Poppy was warned by the league and publicly apologized, admitting he was just spouting off.

Causing severe impact, not the first time of reckless talk.

Poppy's live-stream rant has caused serious negative impact. Perhaps he thought such remarks would make TES appear strong, but it backfired, making viewers think TES management and coaching staff are incompetent. If every TES loss involved Cream match-fixing, how did TES only realize it now?

Moreover, everyone knows Cream's actual skill level. Maybe Cream indeed hid his ability due to match-fixing, but given TES's lineup, it's impossible to win every match.

Another point misleading many viewers: Is match-fixing only about betting on win/loss outcomes? Actually, there are many betting markets for junglers; match-fixing can also involve winning games.

For example, bets on map resources like dragons can be manipulated—taking or giving up first dragon. There are many other markets for rigging. Cream's double Spirit Visage build in crucial matches is arguably the lowest-level match-fixing—so obvious everyone can see it.

LPL match-fixing situation is more severe than imagined.

From various betting markets, I believe there are likely more match-fixing players hidden in LPL, mostly in lower-ranked teams like the Resilience or Rebirth groups. The probability of match-fixing there is quite high, possibly even involving clubs.

Currently, many LPL matches are "god-level showdowns" with constant bizarre plays, which viewers have somewhat grown accustomed to.

But viewers hardly accept match-fixing in top groups, especially playoff stages. That's why Cream's case sparked so much debate. The outrage lies in a top club having match-fixing players. TES responded relatively quickly by investigating and issuing a statement.

After this incident, I believe top LPL clubs should enhance player supervision, especially for players like Cream who rose from weaker teams, with potentially unclear backgrounds, or coming from LDL, who seem suspicious. When strange match phenomena occur, investigations should be initiated.
