Recently, many viewers in the LPL region have called for Doinb to be banned due to his highly inappropriate trash talk following a victory against IG.
During the recent LPL matches, former World Champion Doinb delivered exceptional performances, leading NIP to crucial victories. The community believes his skills remain sharp, enabling him and Ninjas in Pyjamas to decisively defeat Invictus Gaming, a team considered a powerhouse with stars like TheShy and Rookie.
Doinb is also known for his bold personality and willingness to engage in conflicts, making his trash talk a focal point for fans. However, a recent instance of his trash talk sparked widespread controversy, with many criticizing it as overly negative. Specifically, Doinb stated:
"To all the fans who have always supported me, you’ve had a very intense day. But we also know that the support ratio is 3% for us and 97% for the other team. For this 3%, I am truly grateful, and I want to say to everyone else: KNEEL DOWN!!!".
Given Doinb's personality, the community is no stranger to his bold and provocative remarks. However, IG fans were particularly upset, especially after their favorite team suffered a bitter defeat.
Numerous posts on Chinese social media platforms have surfaced, with many calling for LPL organizers and Riot Games to impose severe penalties on NIP's mid-laner. One widely supported comment stated: "He is arrogant, and his behavior disrespects the audience."
However, many viewers believe Doinb and NIP might only face minor penalties for his excessive actions. A complete ban is unlikely, as Doinb has just returned to the professional scene after a two-year absence, making his emotional outburst somewhat understandable.
Moreover, according to recent statistics, Doinb has significantly boosted the tournament's viewership, peaking at over 1 million viewers on Chinese platforms alone. This may lead organizers to avoid imposing overly harsh penalties, especially as the league has been losing its appeal after years of underperformance at Worlds.
