For Europe, the MSI, a League of Legends
tournament, currently does not look good. On Wednesday, the Spanish team MAD Lions lost to the Korean team T1 3:0. But besides the bitter defeat, a comparison image of two players heated the emotions on Twitter. And that because of a smile.
On Wednesday, the match MAD Lions vs. T1 took place at the MSI. MAD Lions lost 3:0 to the Korean team. After the match, one player stood out in particular, namely the Belgian Nisqy, who left the stage smiling after his defeat.
What happened? The Spanish commentator Jamie Mellado posted a comparison image on Twitter after the game. On one side, we see the disappointed Elyoya, and on the other side the smiling Nisqy. Both players from MAD Lions.
In his tweet, the commentator criticized the player Nisqy with the following words: Posture of a winner // Posture of a loser. Both images reflect the performance level of both players in the series.
Even the biggest LoL streamer on Twitch often makes headlines. Especially, when he gets upset about the game.
The most famous LoL pro is the Korean Faker. The reasons for this can be seen in this video:
How does the community react? Under Mellado’s tweet, people show solidarity with Nisqy and find his comparison exaggerated.
- coachseeel:
Incredibly disrespectful
- portilho:
Sorry, but that’s a stupid tweet. […] every player reacts differently.
- Sio_Pau3030:
He smiles because he is trying to stay positive.
However, Nisqy did not cover himself in glory and insulted the Spanish commentator in a deleted tweet. Many criticize the insult by Nisqy and his attitude towards his defeat under the picture with his deleted tweet.
- Helebi1:
The ego that Nisqy has or seems to have makes no sense
- _TheMister_15_:
He laughs because he doesn’t care
- lob_she:
The reaction of a 15-year-old, which should have professional consequences
.
In LoL, the toxic player base is a big problem. With patch 13.8, Riot wanted to make it easier for you to sort out flamers.
Where does this drama come from? The French e-sports site MGG suspects that there is more behind the comparison image by Mellado and attributes it to a general toxic rivalry between France and Spain.
Without calling it a conspiracy, we generally observe that there are regularly toxic behaviors between […] both communities.
Griefing players who suddenly go AFK are, alongside insults, an ongoing problem in League of Legends. A website shows which champion in LoL is most often AFK.
