A World Champion is currently encountering a multitude of challenges.
In recent days, amidst the bustling developments of the end-of-season transfer market, LPL viewers are also concerned about a profoundly serious issue. Reports have surfaced regarding the arrest of the CEO of Douyu platform - one of the largest and most prestigious livestream platforms in the country, by the police on charges of organizing illegal gambling. This information is truly unsettling, especially considering that many streamers from the platform have also been summoned for investigation. For those unaware, this platform hosts numerous LPL celebrities, including both active and retired players.
And one of the most dynamically active figures on this platform within the LPL community undoubtedly includes the World Champion of 2019 - Doinb. He could even be described as a genuine 'tycoon' amidst the streamer realm of the country. Apart from his exceptional and financially lucrative content, Doinb also possesses a keen knack for attracting attention through professional League of Legends activities. Recently, Doinb, alongside Uzi, represented LPL as they co-streamed live from the venue of the 2023 World Championship finals.
It's worth noting that although there hasn't been official information regarding his involvement, the co-streaming session of the 2023 World Championship finals marked one of the last occasions Doinb was seen on stream. For those unaware, since the 2023 World Championship finals (coinciding with the eruption of the Douyu CEO incident), Doinb has been entirely absent across all social media and livestream platforms. This also stands as the longest duration of time the former professional player, driven by the passion for making money, has been off-stream.
Moreover, recently, audiences have also traced the Weibo account IP of Umi - Doinb's spouse, appearing in South Korea. Not long ago, news emerged about a former World Champion purchasing a house worth hundreds of billions in the Hannam The Hill area - one of the most affluent and exclusive residential zones in Asia. Numerous suspicions have begun to surface regarding the possibility of Doinb seeking refuge in Korea.
However, at present, this remains merely speculative. And audiences still hope that Doinb may simply be taking a longer break, spending more time visiting home after many years of battling abroad.
