LPL female host deletes apology tweet, faces backlash for ignoring male fan, claps back online and breaks down

Hello to all LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is World of Games.

After the LPL Knight's Path and the first round of playoffs, there is a short break. During this time, female host October deleted her previous apology tweet, sparking heated discussions among viewers.

LPL Interactive Controversy Incident

LPL's interactive hosts have a new task in the third stage: interacting with fans on-site, asking them questions, and giving out merchandise rewards for correct answers.

As a result, a controversial incident occurred during the match between IG and TT.

Edit

After interactive host October asked a question, a male fan raised his hand, got the chance, and answered. Initially his answer was not correct, and a nearby female fan started shouting her own answer loudly.

Neither of them got it right at first, then on-site hints were given. The male fan was the first to give the correct answer, but was ignored by October. The female fan then also gave the correct answer, and October gave the IG team jersey to the female fan.

It was obvious that the male fan who answered was getting visibly upset.

Netizens saw this and posted criticisms, accusing October of heavily favoring the female fan. From any perspective, the team jersey should not have been given to the female fan in this quiz segment.

October Deletes Apology Tweet

Objectively speaking, this interactive segment should not have allowed someone to jump in. The person who raised their hand should have priority to answer, and only if they fail should the opportunity be given to others.

Furthermore, after the hint, the male fan was indeed the first to give the correct answer, so the jersey should have gone to him.

After the controversy escalated, October quickly posted an apology tweet, but the content sparked further controversy, claiming that the interactive segment had a time limit and each person could only answer once, so the jersey was given to the female fan.

In the end, although she apologized, her attitude was not sincere, and she faced a barrage of criticism from netizens.

October was not convinced and engaged in extensive online arguments with netizens. As the comments piled up, she started deleting comments and blocking users, and eventually deleted the apology tweet altogether.

Objectively analyzing, there may be two reasons why October deleted the tweet. First, she was indeed bombarded too much, and her online arguments were ineffective, still facing heavy attacks, so she deleted it.

Another possibility is that her colleagues or superiors couldn't stand it anymore and told her to delete the tweet and stop arguing with netizens.

Admitting the Mistake Is the Best Solution

October's apology was essentially evasive. Judging from her extensive arguments with netizens, she indeed did not recognize her own mistakes.

During this process, October even contacted the male fan and offered to send him a jersey. The male fan also spoke up for her, implying that since the person involved didn't care, why were netizens still attacking?

But netizens obviously didn't buy it. Even with support from the person involved and some insiders, it was useless. Public opinion was almost entirely against October. The reason is simple: she indeed ignored the male fan's answer and was in the wrong.

Moreover, involving gender issues makes everyone quite sensitive, leading to even greater public criticism of October.

In fact, the solution to this matter is really simple: honestly admit the mistake, recognize the core of the issue, make no excuses, and then buy a jersey for the male fan herself. No one would target her.

It can only be said that as a host, October is still not mature enough in handling situations. Going against netizens never ends well.
