In recent times, the incident between Faker and Sunny Day can be described as a boiling fire.
Event Review:
(In the early hours of March 10, 2022, Faker met TES singles sunny in the Hanbok qualifying, and in that round, Sunny played a 0-16-2 record and a negative ranking.) So after that round, perhaps because Faker has encountered too many such situations recently, Faker after breaking the defense not only blamed Sunny Day, but also AOE to the LPL's professional players and players. After this incident occurred, LCK officials said that "a solution is being discussed on the matter of an LPL player hanging up and affecting Faker." After all, Faker is the face of LCK, and it is understandable that LCK's official shot is in such a situation. At the same time, Sunny day himself and TES officials immediately apologized to the public, and TES officials also announced the punishment measures for Sunny Day. ）
However, just after Sunny Day and TES official apologies, LPL officials announced the punishment for Sunny Day not long ago! The penalty announcement is as follows:
Judging from the penalty announcement, there are three main penalties for this time on sunny days. The first is to impose a fine of RMB 50,000 on Sunny himself; the second is to impose a ban of 2 games (Big Contest, Bo3) on Sunny Day; and the third is to deactivate Sunny's account in Hanbok until December 31, 2022, the last day of 2022.
I have to say that from the perspective of the intensity of the punishment, the punishment this time is indeed a bit heavy. Of course, the reason why it is so heavy, on the one hand, may be that Sunny's behavior is indeed smearing the LPL; on the other hand, it can be seen from the penalty announcement that Sunny just participated in the league's training conference and received training on the management of professional players' words and deeds. That is to say, on a sunny day, this can be regarded as a knowing crime.
In fact, Sunny is not the first professional player to passively rank in Hanbok, and this has happened before. However, the victim of this incident is Faker, coupled with Faker's influence and status in the League of Legends, which will lead to such a heavy punishment on sunny days. Although Faker also had gaffes in the course of the whole incident. But let's think about it from another angle, if it were an LCK pro who played such a record on the top of the LPL's canyon, what would our LPL players think.
In fact, in the end, the whole thing is that Sunny's performance in Hanbok has affected the image of the LPL division, especially the encounter with Faker, which has expanded the influence of the whole thing (resulting in alarming the LCK official). Therefore, although this punishment is heavy, from the perspective of the overall situation, such a punishment is actually reasonable. After all, the LPL needs to give LCK a clear attitude at this time, and it is our LPL's attitude to severely punish the players who make mistakes and reward and punish clearly.
