Introduction: The S16 season matches have officially started, and most players have been paying close attention to the recent confrontations. Currently, the LPL is in its break period, with teams finalizing their preparations. During the Lunar New Year, LPL official caster Ma Haiwei experienced a severe epileptic episode, sparking widespread discussion among the online community. Even his co-streamer 957 was frightened. This was not his first seizure; last year he also suffered an epileptic attack that left him bleeding badly. Meanwhile, insiders revealed the coaching lineup for the Asian Games, with the well-known Clearlove signing up, while Tabe declined to coach and apparently cannot participate either.

LPL official caster suffers epileptic seizure after staying up late

Most players are quite familiar with the LPL, which has developed rapidly in recent years, with an increasing number of teams. However, the overall performance has declined sharply, leading to many official casters losing their jobs. Since last year, the LPL has implemented strict evaluation standards, resulting in many underperforming staff being dismissed. Some have left the scene, while others continue to cast on secondary channels. Of course, some key official staff have been mentoring these individuals, providing them with exposure and boosting their popularity. It is evident that there is strong unity within the organization.

During a recent live broadcast, LPL caster Ma Haiwei suddenly felt dizzy while waiting on the game loading screen and told 957 he needed a moment. He then collapsed again, likely due to a seizure relapse. His co-streamers were very concerned and kept asking about his condition. This was not Ma Haiwei’s first episode; last Lunar New Year, he also had convulsions and fell, bleeding from his mouth. With help from friends, he was taken to the hospital and gradually recovered. It is estimated that this incident was also related to epilepsy, as late-night streaming takes a heavy toll on one’s health.

Recently, LPL insider Hanyi openly shared some Asian Games news. He mentioned hearing explosive information during the Lunar New Year: Mingkai has signed up as head coach for the Asian Games, while Tabe is unwilling to lead the team and apparently cannot participate. The details remain unclear, and he cautioned that this information might not be fully accurate, so it should be taken as gossip. Frankly, if the factory head really attends the Asian Games, it could tarnish his legacy. While he was an outstanding player during his pro career, his coaching results have been mediocre, and there is no need to add another black mark to his professional record.

The Asian Games roster has become a hot topic among netizens. The top lane position is quite competitive. Bin is indeed a highly skilled player, but his mentality fluctuates a lot. In contrast, I lean toward the veteran player Saint, who not only has a deep champion pool but also contributes well to the team. The mid lane spot seems uncontested, with Knight expected to hold the starting position firmly. There is considerable debate over the AD role: who between Elk and Gala will start? If nothing unexpected happens, On is definitely the best choice for support; other domestic supports are lacking. For jungle, only two candidates remain: Xun and Jiejie. Judging by the predicted lineup, it really feels like LPL players are in short supply.

Farewell thoughts

It seems many LPL staff members are facing health issues nowadays, not only pro players but even casters suffer seriously. Ma Haiwei has collapsed multiple times during live streams, and his private relapses are unknown. Hopefully, he can take good care of his health during this period. Although epilepsy is treatable, it can be life-threatening when severe.

What do all the viewers think about this situation?
