Introduction: The S15 season has officially kicked off, and it’s believed that the vast majority of players have been paying attention to the recent matchups. Teams from all major regions have successively traveled to the LPL, ready to face off in the world championship. The Nirvana tournament these past days has been quite popular. Only the WBG team remains in the LPL, and it’s almost certain that the LCK’s DK team will claim the championship. WBG has already lost one match in the double-elimination format; one more loss means elimination. Recently, an exciting piece of news went viral: the well-known insider Hanyi was forcibly executed for infringement, with the amount being just one yuan. He had previously publicly apologized to Xiaotian.

LPL’s Hanyi Forced Execution for Copyright Infringement

Most players are quite familiar with the LPL region, recognized as a world-class top-tier league. Over recent years, LPL’s overall development has been rapid, but its results have been mediocre. Many teams have been underperforming. Therefore, many netizens have suggested that the organizers implement a promotion and relegation system to add pressure on lower-ranking teams. Honestly, the main issue is the current environment: many teams struggle to find good sponsors, resulting in insufficient funds during the transfer period to acquire suitable players. Building a super team is extremely expensive, especially for domestic players whose performance might not be outstanding but whose prices are definitely high.

As the Nirvana World Championship progresses, only the WBG team remains in the LPL, and they have already lost their first double-elimination match. If they lose again, only LCK teams will remain. Before the tournament, many discussions centered on how DK is on a completely different level compared to other teams, and the only loss DK suffered was handed by WBG. Recently, another piece of news about WBG has sparked widespread discussion among esports fans. Those who follow esports are very familiar with Hanyi, an insider who often leaks information during transfer periods and provides sharp commentary on matches, maintaining considerable popularity.

However, prior to this, he had a dispute with Xiaotian that ended up in court, where Xiaotian won the case. In July, Hanyi publicly issued an apology, admitting that during his live streams in 2022 and 2023, he repeatedly mentioned the Iceland incident and falsely claimed that Xiaotian was at odds with his teammates, causing serious harm to Xiaotian’s reputation. He apologized publicly for these untrue statements. This apology stirred some discussion among players, and after it, Hanyi disappeared for a while, even changing his account ID to Hong Kong, China. It was thought that the matter was settled, but unexpectedly, there was a follow-up.

According to official announcements, Hanyi has been subjected to forced execution, with the amount being quite interesting—only one yuan for the defamation dispute. It’s clear that Xiaotian himself wasn’t after any money but just wanted to annoy him a bit. After all the previous issues and repeated warnings without any remorse, this was the final outcome. Similar to Uzi’s wife Omimi, who took legal action against false online rumors, it’s crucial to use legal means to protect one’s rights. Though it took a long time, the final result is gratifying.

Farewell Thoughts

It’s surprising that the dispute between Xiaotian and Hanyi still has developments. Forcing execution of just one yuan will definitely irritate Hanyi. It remains to be seen whether the online atmosphere will calm down after this, as the internet is still too chaotic. Many times, false statements mislead people, causing many players to gradually lose faith in the competition.
