The famous Shiranui Mai cosplay by the female LPL MC is criticized for one 'imperfection'.
At this current juncture, the walk-in performances by LPL's female MCs are no longer unfamiliar to League of Legends audiences. In the Spring Season 2023, this has become one of LPL's 'specialties', especially for Vietnamese viewers since SofM's departure. Besides the beauty of the female MCs, these walk-in performances also attract attention due to their completely unique and diverse styles.
These performances not only capture the attention of regular viewers or players but also influencers, streamers, and even colleagues of the female MCs. In the VCS, for example, both female MCs, Mai Đô Ra and Remind, also perform walk-ins during their working days. Meanwhile, some streamers also follow and provide praise or comments on these performances.
Recently, a group of renowned LPL streamers such as 957, Miller... collectively rewatched the match between Royal Never Give Up and Bilibili Gaming in the LPL Spring 2023 season, along with the walk-in performance by MC Luoxin. In this performance, the female MC 'cosplayed' Mai Shiranui's fan dance - a legendary character from the King of Fighters (KOF) fighting game series. A male streamer in the group jokingly remarked: 'The female MC's performance is excellent, and she is also very beautiful. But does Mai Shiranui ever dress discreetly?'.
Perhaps for gamers from the 80s and 90s, the name Mai Shiranui from the KOF series is not unfamiliar. The famous martial artist is known for her seductive figure, alluring fashion style, and considerable strength. Therefore, Mai Shiranui cosplays always receive significant attention from KOF fans specifically and cosplay enthusiasts in general, especially among male players.
However, undoubtedly, the streamers' comments are merely for amusement. Because if MC Luoxin were to don the entire attire of Mai Shiranui on stage, she would certainly encounter quite a few troubles with Riot and the LPL audience alike.
