League of Legends: TES team's Naiyou was caught fixing a match, and the official punishment is confirmed: a lifetime ban.

Match-fixing in the sports world is nothing new. There are too many temptations in the industry, especially for athletes in their prime. The amount of money involved in private deals can easily far exceed the prize money they have worked hard to win. Adults can understand the consequences and resolutely refuse, but would an athlete in their adolescence think about such long-term benefits?

The LPL region is in complete disarray. The very organization of its tournaments has alienated the public. The transfer period controversies, the superficial changes, the lackluster performance, and the dismal results have left fans with little reason to continue supporting the LPL. Even streamers are struggling to survive, some forced to switch to other games to avoid losing their existing fanbase. The LPL region is truly no match for the LCK region. Its youth training program has plummeted, and now news of match-fixing has surfaced, sparking widespread online discussion. The person involved has finally been identified as Naiyou, the jungler for Top Esports Club, whose real name is Yang Zijian, and he is 21 years old.

The official ruling determined that he had seriously violated the principles of fair competition and imposed a lifetime ban, effectively ending his professional career. He is prohibited from participating in any role related to esports, including coaching, analysis, and any other related roles, meaning there is no place for him in the esports world. Furthermore, all prize money and outstanding salaries will be forfeited, and the right to pursue legal action for further economic losses is reserved.

According to insiders, Naiyou may have been threatened by bookmakers to participate in match-fixing. Some netizens pointed out that he has a criminal record. After this matter came to an end, everyone is paying close attention to TES's second jungler pick.
