A Chinese man spent $22,000 to play the MOBA League of Legends with a woman. He paid her for playing together and gave her expensive gifts. He invited her on dates and referred to her in the game as “his wife.” But when the desired result did not materialize, he wanted his money back and sued her. The court dismissed the case.
This is the situation:
- You can rent partners online for money to play video games together on an hourly basis: on these platforms, coaches offer their services or also E-Girls, where the focus is on spending time online with a woman and having nice conversations.
- A Chinese man hired an E-Girl through an app to play League of Legends with him. Apparently, he eventually intended to take her on a date.
- When the woman declined the date and ended the business relationship, the LoL player sued her.
€18,000 for playing, watches, gifts, and cosmetics
What did the man spend so much money on? According to Chinese sources, a man named Xiao Jun spent approximately €9,200 over 6 months through an app and on gifts for a LoL player named Xiao Mei.
After a few months in February 2020, he mustered the courage to invite Xiao Mei on a date. But she turned him down. This process repeated multiple times.
Instead of scraping together the remaining dignity and leaving it at that, Xiao Jun doubled down on his efforts. He spent another $9,000 on “watches, cosmetics, and other gifts,” which he repeatedly sent to her address.
The LoL player initially refused these gifts, but Xiao Jun insisted and kept sending her gifts until she eventually accepted them.
She ended it when he started introducing her as “his wife”
This is how it ended: When she accepted the gifts, the man began to introduce the rented LoL player in League of Legends as “his wife” when they played together. This was the last straw for the woman. She decided not to work for him anymore and to stop the offer of playing with him.
The man was furious that he had sunk about €18,400 and filed a lawsuit in a district court in China. He accused the woman of having “illegally enriched herself” at his expense. He wanted all his money back.
However, the court decided that the two had entered into a legally binding “business agreement to play LoL together” through the app. The gifts beyond that were given voluntarily without any conditions attached.
Therefore, the legal situation was clear. The court dismissed the case.
There are also E-Girls in the West that you can rent through apps. The Twitch streamer Tfue once had the fun of inviting a whole group of E-Girls to play Fortnite with him. During that, he did not behave like a gentleman:
