Introduction: The S15 season has officially started, and I believe most players have been paying attention to the recent competitions. The matches in various regions, especially in the LPL, have been very intense, and the recent rumors of match-fixing have sparked widespread discussion among players online, leading to investigations by both the teams and the league officials. If these were indeed baseless rumors, the officials would have clarified them long ago. Initially, it seemed like a settled matter, but late at night, things took a turn when the jungler player Galaxy publicly stated that all match-fixing allegations were false, even issuing a lawyer's letter. Meanwhile, the account that made the initial accusations deleted all posts overnight and canceled its account. Could it be that the situation is truly turning around?
Most players are still very focused on the LPL region. The esports industry has developed rapidly in recent years, leading to an increasing number of issues in competitions, especially match-fixing. Some professional players may not earn high salaries, and after many years of their careers, they still cannot achieve financial independence. Therefore, some individuals, after gaining a certain level of fame, choose to take risks. In the LPL region, engaging in match-fixing could yield more from a single match than they earn throughout their careers. Faced with such enormous temptation, many professional players have chosen this path, ultimately leading to investigations by the LPL. In recent years, the number of match-fixing issues announced by the LPL has been on the rise.
A couple of days ago, FPX jungler Galaxy became the center of attention for players online, mainly due to an exposure that claimed he participated in match-fixing while he was with the RNG team. After this news gained traction, FPX was quick to announce an indefinite suspension of cooperation with Galaxy and handed the matter over to the league. Many fans are familiar with this process, which is quite similar to the previous case of jungler BO, with the only difference being that BO admitted to the allegations, while Galaxy has yet to acknowledge the accusations circulating online and continues to deny any involvement in match-fixing.
I thought this matter would soon conclude, but unexpectedly, a late-night message from Galaxy caused another stir online. He has engaged a lawyer to initiate legal action regarding the defamation and has reported the matter to relevant authorities to hold the accusers accountable. From the lawyer's letter, it is clear that Galaxy's side claims that the only real information in the exposed images is the WeChat ID, while the rest of the chat records were fabricated using impersonated avatars and nicknames. Although the accuser initially confronted Galaxy, it wasn't long before the situation began to shift, with many believing that Galaxy is being falsely accused this time.
After responding a few times, the accuser first deleted all the accusations, and then Galaxy reiterated that deleting the posts was futile as he had taken screenshots of everything and would continue to provide new evidence to the relevant departments. Subsequently, the accuser even went so far as to cancel their account. This sudden departure has left many fans puzzled, and this behavior further suggests that there might be something suspicious about the situation. Upon reflection, would a top rookie player really use their main WeChat account to engage in match-fixing? Surely, no professional player would be that foolish. It seems that the truth will soon come to light; we just have to wait for the official investigation results, as everything should be based on the official response.
After all the intense discussions, I thought the matter was settled, but the significant twist came after a few days when Galaxy finally provided a positive response. I feel that there might still be some issues with this situation. Normally, if someone truly had done nothing wrong, wouldn’t their immediate reaction be to refute the claims? That should be the natural response of any reasonable person.
What do you all think about this situation, dear viewers?
