Perhaps everyone has realized, for some areas with strong development of League of Legends (LCK, LPL), plus a large number of fans of the big teams, the leaders of these teams also actively develop their players in the direction of “Idolization”, or become entertainment stars. Particularly with T1, this is not too strange. It is the players who regularly perform gameshow, participate in the entertainment programs with Kpop stars or cult characters in other entertainment fields. And once you have been “idolized”, like every other Kpop group, there will be a part of fans who love to “ship” the players together.
The teams also actively “idol turned” players
However, if only “ship” for fun or higher than writing Fanfic (roughly translated: The story of fans imagine) is probably not too strange for those who follow “Idol culture”. But recently, a Tiktok account is making the T1 fan community, including those who often “ship” the pressing players. Specifically, this account posted a picture that was definitely an image of an inappropriate action, even to be said to be the offensive of two T1 players, Gumayusi – Keria. In particular, this account also laid the hashtag names of the two players above and the clip also quickly became viral.
Image Keria – Gumayusi is very normal
When the transition has switched to an image of an offensive action
On social networking forums, many T1 fans admit that this action is very difficult to accept and worsen the image of the true T1 fans. Not to mention, there is an opinion that it is very dangerous to put the hashtag in the context that T1 players also use Tiktok is very dangerous because it can be complained by T1 because of the player image in a negative way, affecting HFINH Fan T1 photos in Vietnam.
The T1 fans are also annoyed
In a new development, the account posted a photo that changed the state to privacy. The darkness of the “idolization” of LoL players increasingly appears and the T1 fans in particular or League of Legends in general must also be careful to avoid falling into controversy or content that is not suitable for their idol players as well as the League of Legends community.
