The "evil genius" of LPL has emerged, showcasing a hyper-aggressive playstyle and criticizing teammates, leading to backlash from netizens.

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

After the start of the third segment of the LPL matches, one team in the peak group has been disappointing. This team had an unexpected good performance during the playoffs of the second segment, but has now suffered a five-game losing streak since the start of the third segment.

The jungler on the team has sparked discontent among netizens due to his actions both in and out of the game.

The evil genius of LPL, the hyper-aggressive jungler.

This team is WE, which previously achieved an upset victory over TES in the second segment, creating a dark horse miracle. The jungler Monki received widespread praise for his performance, especially in that round of the series where he volunteered to face off against 369 in a solo match before the deciding game, successfully defeating his opponent and securing the draft advantage for his team.

WE's success was indeed due to Monki's outstanding performance.

At that time, everyone praised this player, who was once one of EDG's five prodigies. He had an incredibly impressive performance during his time at EDG, and after joining WE, he delivered remarkable individual performances, reaching the peak of his professional career.

However, the good times didn't last long. Monki's performance in the third segment has been heavily criticized, reverting to his previous EDG form. In simple terms, his playstyle has become overly aggressive, earning him the label of hyper-aggressive jungler. He tends to lead his teammates into invading the jungle or recklessly initiating fights, appearing to lack strategic thinking.

In the third segment, he made several mistakes that impacted the match outcomes, leading WE to win none of their games. Monki has seemingly transformed into the evil genius of LPL and is considered the primary culprit for WE's poor performance.

He has verbally attacked teammates, allegedly calling 369 useless.

In the match against TES, Monki and Kanavi were both unwilling to back down, aggressively invading the opponent's jungle. In the deciding game, Monki's Olaf made a critical error, resulting in a significant disadvantage that allowed JKL to soar, leading WE to lose the match after being reversed from a winning position. Additionally, in previous matches, during crucial moments, his Nightmare hero was directly killed after venturing into an unknown vision area.

Commentator Smile criticized Monki harshly after watching, and viewers even suspected him of match-fixing.

However, this same player had previously berated his teammates multiple times in earlier match recordings. Many viewers expressed a desire to see how Monki reacts when criticized by his teammates. During team communications, Monki acted like the team leader, criticizing his teammates for poor performance in the game and blaming them for not positioning correctly during key team fights in post-game reviews.

Moreover, during the deciding solo phase against TES in the second segment, after defeating 369, Monki shouted two words at the camera, which appeared to be "useless." This incident upset many TES fans, especially since WE had previously defeated TES, fueling their animosity towards Monki.

The agent speaks out, facing backlash from netizens.

After Monki's performance drew criticism from viewers both in and out of the game, his agent stepped in to defend him, arguing that the overall environment of LPL should be more supportive of new players, reducing criticism and insults. This agent's comments were also met with backlash from netizens, who pointed out that they did not see the agent speak up when Monki was criticizing others.

In fact, the current evaluation of Monki can be summarized in one simple statement: a rookie player who is overly flashy needs to have the backing to match his performance. The concern is that if a rookie player does not perform well yet keeps blaming teammates, the tolerance for such a player is very low.

Personally, I believe that whether a rookie can succeed is not greatly influenced by public opinion. What matters more is their own effort and talent. Many rookies who shine for a while quickly fade away; some due to lacking talent, and others due to poor professional attitudes.

In ancient times, LPL players were often criticized harshly. Back then, when they failed to achieve good results, the audience's criticism was much fiercer than now. Yet players could still fight back through their efforts. Nowadays, many players hold themselves in high regard, fearing that even a little success will lead to complacency and halt their progress, ultimately getting eliminated from the LPL market.
