Introduction: Since IG advanced to the LPL Regional Finals, many LPL viewers and casters have been praising IG's strength, with some fans even fantasizing about IG defeating BLG to secure the LPL's first seed and qualify for Worlds. However, some streamers believe that IG's advancement to the Regional Finals is "too fake."

Many LPL professional players transition to streaming after retirement or when no teams want them. These former pros can quickly attract fans due to their previous status. In recent years, the most successful transition has been former TES top laner "DaHuang" (Wayward). He gained a large following of TES fans and casual viewers through his various "abstract plays" (weird/absurd plays) and his bold, meme-style commentary. However, while his daring jokes bring high streaming entertainment, the backlash is also severe because some viewers strongly dislike his unfiltered streaming style.

For example, recently during a stream, DaHuang sharply criticized IG's advancement to the Regional Finals. He claimed that IG reaching the Regional Finals was an "order" from the LPL officials and even hinted that the matches were rigged. Because of his reckless remarks, many IG fans became upset. Numerous fans reported his stream, and many went to the LPL official Weibo to leave comments demanding punishment for DaHuang, as the controversy he stirred up grew too big.

Many viewers also began to wonder if DaHuang harbored a grudge against TheShy. After all, back when DaHuang was on TES, he was crushed by TheShy in a head-to-head matchup, costing him a spot at Worlds and ultimately forcing him to leave TES. After causing trouble, DaHuang publicly apologized to IG fans and players, stating that everything was for entertainment purposes and he had no intention of leading any narrative—it was all a misunderstanding by casual viewers. He then wished IG and LGD good results in their future matches.

After this incident, many fans became disappointed with DaHuang's streaming style. Some true fans admitted: "From his earlier streams, you could tell DaHuang knew where to draw the line. But recently, his unfiltered remarks have been too arrogant—or he's gotten a big head. He forgets that he is a professional player and streamer under LPL, and every time he streams, he forgets that he is now a public figure."

Conclusion

Personally, I understand that as a streamer, DaHuang needs to create entertainment. However, the recent stunts he has pulled have gone too far. I recall the last time he was punished by LPL officials was for praising CSGO as the best esport in the world during a stream and criticizing LOL matches for being boring. Not even two months have passed since that punishment, and now DaHuang is stirring up drama again. (How do you think LPL officials should punish DaHuang?)
