Entering the end of December, the 2022 LOL Demacia Cup is in full swing, ending the four-day "Swiss round" (qualifying round) competition, this year's German Cup officially entered the knockout stage, just on December 18, two news related to the Demacia Cup, one is that the WBG team was forced to abstain due to the physical illness of the players, and the other is that Rose and SDX assisted Konodio in the German Cup (the junior form of the fake match), and were banned for life by the league.
Looking at the 2022 LPL winter transfer period, WBG is the LPL team with the most reinforcement, not only successfully renewed the contract of LOL World Champion Theshy, but also signed League of Legends champion auxiliary Crisp, former RNG Nakano Tigers, Casa Karsa, and the ADC lamp king Light who performed well in the LPL summer season, not only that, WBG also recruited former MAX player Kenny Chan under his command to prepare for the German Cup.
There are top players joining, and the coaching staff led by Hou Ye Easyhoon, originally thought that WBG could show its skills in the German Cup, what the management did not expect was that WBG players, all the coaching staff, relevant management personnel, and staff were unwell, although the club responded in time, but the players and coaching staff members were still in physical condition, and WBG was forced to abstain and could not participate smoothly.
Appearing on social platforms, WBG Club official Bo explained: Written to fans who follow the WBG League of Legends branch, the recent WBG team players, all coaching staff, staff, and management personnel are unwell, so far have not healed, can not meet the health standards of the competition, the club and the league after negotiation, decided to abstain. The club is doing its best to help all the team recover, and I hope that fans do not have to worry, we will meet the subsequent matches with a better competitive state in the future, thank the fans for their care and support, and see you in the next arena!
It was because WBG abstained that it was unable to participate in the 12 noon match on December 18, and the opponent Team IG directly advanced to the next round of the match, and can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight and watch LNG and WE, AL and OMG, DYU and RA, UP and Little Phoenix FPX.
The story continues, and two young players are permanently banned for participating in "proxy fighting", they are Rose the wild player of the IG second team, and SDX auxiliary Konodio, according to the official introduction of the League of Legends event: without the club's knowledge, the player represents another team to participate in third-party events, which directly affects the fairness of the game, and there is "proxy fighting" behavior, so they are permanently banned and lose the qualification to participate in official professional and semi-professional events, and their LOL careers have come to an end.
In fact, in addition to WBG players, players from other teams also have health problems, including the positive JDG main player Shangdan 369, golden left hand Knight, LOL champion single Doinb, etc., I believe that with the help of the club, WBG players who are in physical condition can quickly recover and fully prepare for the upcoming 2023 LPL spring tournament.
Looking at the problem of "substitute fighting" of players, as the official of the event said, "proxy fighting" not only violates the contract signed between players and clubs, but also seriously affects the fairness and justice of the event, in the case of the league repeatedly clarifying the stakes, IGY Rose and SDX assisted Konodio are still trying to take risks, and it is no accident that they were permanently banned, I hope that other players can take caution and cherish their feathers.
