The Saudi Arabian Esports World Cup (Oil Cup) is just around the corner, with the start of the Dota 2 event on July 4. At this critical juncture, the star player of the League of Legends project next door, Jackeylove, caused a lot of community controversy because of his complaints about the Saudi organizers, and the LOL team participating in this competition is the top two teams in each major region, which shows that the gold content of the Oil Cup is very high. However, Jackeylove, as the star ADC player of the TES team, made a heated remark about this game: the Oil Cup does not reimburse the player's business class, and if you go to a round of travel, it is equivalent to losing money to play the game, and you have to pay for the upgrade.
As soon as Jackeylove's remarks came out, e-sports boss Huang Xudong expressed his opinion on this remark after talking about it during his live broadcast: Now young players have not suffered. And Huang Xudong did not target Jackeylove when he made his remarks, which is equivalent to a review of the initial experience of the domestic e-sports environment. After watching Huang Xudong's live broadcast slice, LPL's media account directly opened a group of Huang Xudong, saying that "just because I have suffered hardships, I am afraid that others will not be able to endure hardships", and launched a personal attack on Huang Xudong, and felt that Huang Xudong was rubbing the popularity of LPL. As Huang Xudong's good brother and live broadcast partner, Sun Yifeng must not be able to bear the reply of the marketing account, so he commented that LPL only won the third place in the Hangzhou Asian Games last year, which is not as good as other game projects. After a day of fermentation of this incident, many celebrity anchors also personally commented on the incident, TES coach Zhu Kai, and PUGB star player XDD also expressed their views on this incident in the live broadcast.
The Esports World Cup hosted by Saudi Arabia has actually hosted two Riyadh Masters, and Dota 2 players should be quite familiar with it, and the tournament is very large and full of gold, second only to the annual official TI event. The Chinese team PSG.LGD once won the Riyadh Masters, and in the two Riyadh Masters that they participated, there was no public opinion about the organizers of the event, and no player complained about the itinerary. In the past, League of Legends was not included in the Riyadh Masters, but with the expansion of this year's event, League of Legends and CS2 have also been added. As the start date of the Petroleum Cup approaches, the contestants in other sports have not complained about any scheduling problems, but more about the expectation of this competition and the yearning for the local characteristics of Saudi Arabia.
At present, this incident is still fermenting, some complain about Jackeylove's demands, and some complain about the interstellar circle deliberately rubbing the heat, I don't know what everyone thinks about this incident?
