A basic yet significant error by Candice results in her facing ruthless criticism.
At this moment, MSI 2023 is unfolding with intense competition. Even in the Play-In stage, teams like Bilibili Gaming and G2 Esports demonstrate strength and secure advancement. Meanwhile, DetonatioN FocusMe and GAM Esports are gearing up for decisive matches.
To ensure tournament success, key figures like MCs, analysts, and commentators, along with the audience, play crucial roles. In a prestigious international event like MSI, invited MCs are expected to be seasoned professionals with refined skills. However, a recent major incident occurred with the 'Goddess' Candice, drawing severe criticism from LPL viewers.
During the interview with player JunJia after PSG Talon's victory over DetonatioN FocusMe, the renowned MC unexpectedly asked about the costume JunJia used for the champion Viego: 'Today, you used the EDG costume for Viego in game 2. What was your reason for choosing this skin?' In reality, JunJia used the Emperor Camavor Viego skin, while Wako used the EDG skin for Aphelios on that day.
This mix-up becomes even more detrimental as EDG is JunJia's former team. However, his time with EDG can be summarized in two words: 'disappointing' and 'unsuccessful.' Unable to compete with Jiejie for a starting position, JunJia had to drop down to the youth team, move to Team WE, and eventually join the PCS for opportunities. Not to mention, during EDG's World Championship 2021 victory, he didn't play a single match, casting doubt on his championship title.
Perturbed by such a sensitive question, MC Candice swiftly receives a barrage of criticism from LPL fans. Numerous harsh words are directed towards the seasoned MC, with some viewers bluntly stating: 'A question that reveals Candice's lack of EQ. But she'll probably be fine, especially with Mr. Quan and a legion of devoted fans supporting her.' Despite being an MC with years of experience, battling in both domestic and international competitions, Candice is not immune to making mistakes. However, perhaps LPL fans need to show more empathy, especially considering the sincere apology issued by the MC herself.
