LPL has revealed a major scandal involving match-fixing, with RNG under suspicion; netizens have shared evidence, and Galaxy Brother may face suspension.

Hello to all LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is Tianxia Game Exchange.

The LPL professional league has reached its third phase, and in the previous phases, the two teams OMG and RNG were eliminated, losing their chance to participate in the third phase. Subsequently, RNG allegedly forfeited their match in the LDL division.

Last night, another major scandal broke in the LPL, with allegations that Milkyway leaked BP for profit during last year's matches.

The LPL match-fixing scandal has surfaced, with netizens sharing evidence.

Here's what happened: a Weibo whistleblower, Lianlian Hongcha, received a tip-off in the form of chat logs from a netizen. The content reveals that Milkyway (currently with FPX), known as Galaxy Brother, sold team BP to others during the Dota Cup at the end of last year. The chat logs show that the main character's ID is Milkyway.

At the end of last year, Galaxy Brother returned to the RNG team, and after the team regrouped, they began competing in the Dota Cup. If this is true, it means Galaxy Brother started selling team BP shortly after rejoining RNG.

Currently, the authenticity of the situation is in doubt. After netizens provided chat screenshots as evidence, both Galaxy Brother and RNG may need to come forward to explain. This matter is serious, and many viewers may not realize the kind of benefits that leaking BP can bring; it essentially constitutes match-fixing.

For example, leaking BP informs opponents about our prepared BP, including which champions we plan to ban and which ones we aim to secure. By revealing the entire ban order, opponents can adjust their strategy accordingly, making it seem like the BP was predetermined before the match.

RNG is under suspicion; is there still match-fixing in the LPL?

The fundamental logic behind match-fixing is to exploit betting odds for profit. Those familiar with external betting should know that various strange betting odds exist in different matches. In League of Legends, the most basic odds are for win/loss, followed by kill score odds.

Further extending this, there are odds for first blood, first dragon, first tower, game duration, specific player KDA data, etc. All in-game actions can be bet on, and BP can also have odds placed on it. The odds for BP can be very high, as predicting which champions will be banned or picked has a low probability. Once the BP information is obtained, all related betting odds can be easily manipulated.

If Galaxy Brother is confirmed to be selling BP, he will definitely face suspension upon official investigation.

If it turns out that Galaxy Brother has been caught selling BP even once, people will start to suspect whether he has used the same method multiple times for profit. Consequently, his teams, RNG and FPX, should also be investigated, especially RNG, which has significant suspicions.

Once the top underdog, now just one of many.

Let's analyze the RNG team. At the end of last year, RNG might still have aimed for good results, especially since they recalled Galaxy Brother from FPX. Last year, Galaxy Brother was arguably the top underdog in the LPL, becoming the best rookie and even reaching the level of competing for the best player of the season.

Fans had high hopes for him, believing he was not only an excellent "carry" but also a great team leader, capable of uniting the team into a cohesive unit.

However, after such revelations, Galaxy Brother's performance since returning to FPX has been lackluster.

At the start of this year, RNG struggled through several matches and even showed some promising content, but then they fell apart completely. I believe that during RNG's downfall, there may have been instances of leaking BP or even match-fixing, leading many viewers to perceive players making ridiculous mistakes and giving away kills as if they were throwing the matches.

However, the true nature of match-fixing is often difficult to detect; for instance, the sequence of leaking BP is nearly impossible for viewers to notice. When we consider the perspective of RNG players, with no hope for the team and the potential for significant earnings from match-fixing, how many can resist such temptation?
