Preface: The S16 season has officially begun, and most players are closely following the recent matches. The games across various regions are nearing their end, and fans are highly concerned about the World Championship qualification spots. During this off-season break, several issues have arisen. A prominent streamer issued a public apology to IG and LGD after making inappropriate comments while casting matches, which triggered a huge backlash. At the same time, another League of Legends World Championship winner has joined the DOTA scene. Combined with recent developments, it is now possible to form an entire League of Legends World Championship-winning team within DOTA.

Another LOL World Champion Transitions to Dota

Most players are familiar with League of Legends. As an esports title, it has developed into its current scale over more than a decade, which is quite impressive. Thanks to its well-established world tournaments, League of Legends has maintained a decent level of popularity. Although it has declined somewhat, it still ranks highly. In recent years, more and more well-known players have left the competitive stage. It seems their activities are heavily restricted, with many content updates failing to launch. Even some prominent figures have started to abandon LOL and move to other games.

A while ago, Doinb was dropped by the league authorities due to a series of issues. He tried to make a comeback, but fans were no longer buying it. To maintain his popularity, he had to switch to the competing game DOTA. He even brought several others into the game, including former IG jungler Ning and support Baolan. Among them, Ning has been the most aggressive in recent streams. He openly stated, "I feel like vomiting when I watch League of Legends, but that doesn't stop it from being my favorite food. I definitely can't take LOL orders, but I might be able to take DOTA 2 orders." Although he said that, the official channel hasn't revoked his co-streaming privileges. The last match he cast was BLG vs. WE, and since then, he rarely uses the pure stream for commentary.

Recently, netizens discovered that another World Championship-winning player has started playing DOTA: former Samsung Galaxy champion AD carry imp has joined the DOTA ranks. Since leaving the LPL, imp seems to have become a bit erratic. Not long ago, he even became the LCK version of "Gao Fu Shuai" (a term for someone with high income, good looks, and height). Lately, there hasn't been much news about his stock market activities; it's likely he lost everything. Now, DOTA can indeed form a full League of Legends World Championship-winning lineup: top laner Marin, jungler Ning, mid laner Doinb, AD carry imp, and support Baolan. Of course, Baolan is the most cautious among them—he has only played the game but hasn't officially joined.

In recent days, the well-known streamer who implied that IG advanced through match-fixing has issued a formal apology to both IG and LGD.

Regarding the remarks made during recent live streams, combined with the titles of certain clips, they caused many misunderstandings. I hereby apologize to both clubs. In the future, I will strengthen my self-control during streams to avoid misunderstandings and unnecessary trouble for the teams and individuals involved.

It's clear that he realized his mistake. He wanted to create some entertaining moments during the stream but lacked self-discipline. He repeatedly made insinuating and sarcastic comments, derailing the narrative, and only later tried to make amends. It remains to be seen whether the authorities will take notice. Of course, since he acknowledged his error, hopefully the officials will give him another chance.

Zhaijian (Goodbye) believes:

Honestly, even though the popularity of League of Legends has declined, it can still support a number of professionals. For example, if Doinb still had the fame he had before his "escape," he would never abandon his "Da B Manor" streaming model. After all, he was the most popular retired player among co-streamers at that time. Only after he left did Zitai (Yan Junze) get an opportunity to turn things around. Of course, these players' transitions are understandable—they want to maximize their earnings within a limited time. There's no need for criticism.

What do you, dear viewers, think about this matter?
