League of Legends: Justice may be delayed, but it will not be absent. Milkyway's match-fixing has been confirmed as a hoax. (Part 2)

A one-year suspension, although he is not an official referee, is just a result of the rumors affecting his credibility. It should be noted that match-fixing is a very serious accusation. Before clearing his name, teams that prioritize profit will probably decisively give up on this candidate who has been questioned by the outside world.

He just won Best Newcomer, but rumors robbed him of his golden year.

Even if you have pity and let him in, how can you guarantee the trust between teammates and its continued stability? How can you guarantee that the team won't lose funding because of this decision and be forced to temporarily stop? The reality is cruel. The esports circle is highly competitive, and frankly, it's full of talented people. We can't afford to take this risk. So Milkyway has to face career challenges and unpleasant comments from the outside world alone. A year is the peak period for young players' careers. For them, who rely on their youth, this is equivalent to a devastating blow.

After police investigation and verification, the chat logs released that year were finally found to be unrelated to match-fixing. Milkyway proudly revealed the truth, stating that he did not participate in match-fixing or leak the draft picks. Expressing his emotions, he confided in his fans, admitting that the online criticism and doubts had tormented him. Fortunately, the truth was not concealed. The comment section was quickly bombarded; fans were relieved for him, but some felt it was unfair, believing that the rumor-mongers should bear the responsibility and compensate him for his losses that year. Debuting at his peak, winning Best Newcomer of the Year, he should have been entering a golden age, but because of the low cost of spreading rumors—a single edited photo—his future was ruined.

Remain firm in our stance and sue those who spread rumors.

Milkyway vowed no leniency, declaring that the internet is not above the law and he would take legal action to protect his rights, pursuing the matter to the end and finding anyone involved in spreading rumors and slander. Everyone agreed. The damage has been done; the teams he once played for are now unrecognizable. RNG disbanded, and FPX is gone. After a year away from the competition, his form and skills are within the club's consideration. Whether he will be given another chance remains unknown.

The only good news is that, with police evidence in hand, industry insiders reveal that his credibility has soared to unprecedented levels, and many mentors are expected to extend a helping hand and invite him to join their teams. This incident serves as an example for all contestants: never yield to rumors and sue if you must.
