Hello to all LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is World Game Hub.
Yesterday's LPL playoffs produced a major upset: the top-ranked team in the Summit Group, AL, was reverse-swept by JDG in a best-of-five series, ultimately losing after a hard-fought five games.

The in-game action was intense, but the off-stage drama was even more explosive, with manager Aixiao completely becoming the biggest clown in the LPL.
The biggest clown in the LPL, Aixiao harasses JDG's coach.
Most viewers expected AL to win easily. Firstly, AL was first in the Summit Group while JDG was lower ranked. Secondly, the two teams' first playoff victories were completely different. JDG had just barely defeated TES, the second-to-last team in the Summit Group, in a full five-game series, exposing numerous issues.

Meanwhile, AL cleanly swept WE 3-0, with their BO5 match duration setting a new record as the second shortest in LPL history.
Everyone thought AL would win, including AL's manager Aixiao. This widely recognized drama queen started celebrating before the match even began. First, he posted a Weibo giveaway for lucky fans to win AL team jerseys, scheduled for 8 PM on the 26th—exactly when the AL vs. JDG match was set to start, implying AL would finish the fight by then.

Then, before the match started, he harassed JDG's coach, messaging him to come out and interact. The JDG coach replied that they were in a meeting. Aixiao directly responded: "Meeting for what? We'll beat you easily anyway. The nation's top coach doesn't need meetings." He added a meme sticker, after which the JDG coach stopped replying.
Blue Lotus flies into a rage, scolding AL manager.
The result was that AL lost to JDG after five grueling games. JDG's owner, Blue Lotus, didn't hold back. First, he commented under Aixiao's jersey giveaway post: "How's it going, Aixiao? I want to do a giveaway too." Then, around 10 PM, he commented again, directly calling Aixiao an idiot and warning, "If you harass my coaching staff again, you know my temper," essentially blowing up at him.


The most hilarious part is that Aixiao, knowing his face had been thoroughly slapped and that his pre-match taunts had angered Blue Lotus, then went back to the very JDG coach he had harassed. He claimed his message didn't mean "we'll beat you easily," but rather "you can beat us easily," asking the coach to help explain his "real" meaning.
He later added that he would be criticized for that screenshot for a long time and asked the coach to help clarify.

This clearly shows he knew he was in deep trouble. Playing dead wouldn't work this time, so he desperately tried to backtrack. Everyone understood his original pre-match intent. Given his track record since taking over AL—constantly involved in scandals, only wanting to show off based on the team's performance—his reputation was completely shattered once the team lost.
Repeatedly committing major faux pas, Aixiao should tone it down.
Even before this incident, AL's manager had a poor reputation within the LPL circle. Last year, his big mouth angered BLG's manager, who publicly criticized Aixiao at a press conference for only wanting to connect and boast after wins, while going silent and disabling comments after losses.

There was even more absurd behavior later. Fans dug up Aixiao's alt account on Hupu, where he relentlessly praised himself while disparaging BLG and Guo Hao, before directly deleting the account and fleeing.
After that, Aixiao even created a dedicated super topic for himself, only for fans to discover he was frequently active in BLG's super topic.
The sheer absurdity of these actions places him in a league of his own throughout LPL history, earning him the title of the number one drama queen clown from fans. Having such a manager is truly a "blessing" for AL—a pure liability that brings nothing but negative attention to the team's players.

Personally, I believe the true protagonists of League of Legends are the players. After so many seasons, a universal truth has become clear: whether you are a player, coach, or part of management, it's crucial to stay humble. Celebrating at halftime or even before the match is a major taboo. Despite numerous past lessons, many still fail to grasp this principle.
