Noget af et chok har ramt den internationale League of Legends-scene. En professionel koreansk League of Legends-spiller forsøgte tidligere i dag at begå selvmord, da kendskabet til matchfixing med hans hold, AHQ, blev for meget for Cheon "Promise" Min-Ki.
Der var mange triste miner på League of Legends-scenen i dag, da det kom frem, at Promise havde forsøgt at begå selvmord ved at hoppe ud fra en 12-etagers bygning. Ifølge en lang besked, som netop Promise skrev på sin Facebook, så var han og en af hans holdkammerater, Yeon "Actscene" Hyeong-mo, bekendte med alt dette omkring matchfixing, hvilket Promise ikke kunne klare at leve med.
En bruger på Reddit, fangel123, har oversat Promises lange status på Facebook. Et lille udsnit:
Hello everyone, I am former LoL pro Pimir. I was on ahq Korea, also known as ahq K Promise. I also used names such as patience/AD Pimir etc. My death note is on my face book and i will be gone 5 minutes after i post this so proof that its really pimir will be on my kakaotalk and facebook.
Yderligere skrev han også, at deres manager, Noh Dae Chu, havde presset dem til at lade sig tabe, når de mødte store hold som KT Rolster Arrows og CJ Entus Frost.
When we were playing CJ, manager Noh threatened that if you win a game here, AHQ will be DQd from LoLChamps. In game vs KT, as a professional player, obvsly I wanted to win and did so. However, in game vs CJ, the threat made me realize that all my effort in becoming a pro will be useless if I win this game.
Han sluttede det hele af med at skrive det hele opsummeret på få linjer:
tl;dr: I'm not in this world after 5 minutes, AHQ Korea was a team made by Noh to profit off illegal gambling, teammates didn't know and we had to fix games because of this. AHQ Taiwan never sponsored our team, it was a lie. I am sorry for all of this, and I can't tell you everything, but I'm leaving now as I cant deal with this anymore.
Det forlyder, at Promise er vågnet op fra sin koma, men at han stadig ikke er i stand til at røre sig. Han kan dog godt snakke og lytte gennem en respirator-maske. Læs den fulde oversættelse af hans udtalelse her.
