After the first week of LPL Spring 2024 ended, LNG Esports (LNG) was probably one of the biggest disappointing teams. It should be known that LNG has a favorable opening schedule when only having to meet ThunderTalk Gaming (TT) and Oh My God (OMG), the teams underestimated. So they lost to the TT with a score of 1-2 and trapped in the area between the ranking of LPL Spring LPL 2024.

Not stopping there, LNG also recently made fans angry when posting a video with the “kick” element of the team – Scout. Specifically, an audience in LNG's video raised the cheering table with the content: “Gala fighting! And the scout is okay, if you play badly, you don't care”.
The image of fans who wrote the content “kicked” Scout has appeared in LNG's video itself
Although this image only appears for a moment, it is still discovered by fans. It is likely that the above -mentioned words refer to the disappointment of Scout at Worlds 2023. This made many Scout fans unable to indignant to think that LNG deliberately treated this player.
Immediately after realizing the serious nature of the incident, LNG hurriedly deleted the video and posted an apology to the fans. Moreover, this video editing and editing staff was also fired by LNG. Even the management of the video editor side of the LNG side has to make a long report to explain this incident.
“LNG has dismissed the edit staff of this video and the management of the edit team must write a long report to explain the incident.”
Indeed, the heavy failure of LNG in Worlds 2023 has left a very bad impression on the LPL audience. The LNG side should be aware of this to minimize the posting of the above controversial content. However, the unintentional from LNG has accidentally created a lot of public pressure on the members of this team.
After a heavy defeat in Worlds 2023, LNG always becomes the focus of criticism of the LPL audience whenever they have the opportunity.
Not stopping there, LNG also faced many difficulties at week 2 LPL Spring 2024 when they had to fight strong opponents like Weibo Gaminhg (WBG) or JD Gaming (JDG). If the competition is not good and receives too “weak” losses, LNG will definitely get more pressure from the audience.
