There has been no official response.
There was no explanation for the loss, nor any news about the team members.
The hashtag #RLFansAreIntroverted# has garnered hundreds of millions of views and tens of thousands of discussions on major social media platforms within just a few days.
Among those who insulted RL, besides fans of other groups who already had a grudge against him, there were also many people who claimed to be RL fans.
Some esports fans, who hold the view that "in esports, being bad is the original sin," believe that losing means being criticized.
They vented their anger on the team's Weibo account, the players' Weibo account, the players' family's social media accounts, and even on other platforms.
The fans haven't accepted the fact that they lost.
On the Internet —
A new topic has emerged.
#RL exposes match-fixing#
#Whose fault was it that RL lost?#
#RL Team Fake Recording#
#RL Qualifying Tournament#
These are topics laced with extreme malice.
They're practically pushing the RL team into a fire pit, trying to kill them.
Capitalists and businesses that promoted RL before the competition.
Many players terminated their contracts with RL, and RL team members were no longer seen in advertisements.
RL's fans, still grieving, are forced to retaliate despite their pain.
[Haha, I'm impressed by this kind of move.]
[If you're so tough, then never come to RL team to sign with them again.]
[You champion fans, have you forgotten that RL won seven tournament titles this year?]
Are you all blind?! When RL won the championship before, how did you all shout "Awesome!" at them?!
[National Championships, Continental Championships, Summer Championships, Asian Games... So many tournament champions, and you guys can't see them?!]
[To deny their efforts and glory throughout the year just because they lost one game...]
You trolls! Insults and curses give you a sense of accomplishment, don't they?!
[Are they brainless? Would a global tournament like this be involved in match-fixing?]
The team members get along very well! There are no problems at all! This is a rumor about a crematorium!
Fu Sang has been in a heavy mood these past few days.
They had been unable to get any news from Qi Luo.
I don't know what's really going on with him.
She dared not think about it.
When I see those vicious comments online.
There are also articles in the media that deliberately stir up trouble and smear the RL team.
I feel very sad.
There are so many trolls, you can't possibly win an argument with them.
it's useless.
It can't be stopped.
Hopefully, the RL team won't see these messages.
The trending topics changed again tonight.
#Stars#
#RL Jungler Accidentally Drone#
#RL Returns to China#
[Oh my god, Stars are dead!]
[The RL player really did die.]
Is this fake?
Videos of RL team members have finally appeared online.
Reporters swarmed around RL as he emerged from the airport.
The RL team members were wearing long, casual cotton coats, masks on their faces, and their eyes were dull and lifeless.
Despite their heavily disguised appearance, it was still clear that the team members didn't look too well.
—Despondency and pain.
The bodyguards couldn't stop the reporters from asking questions.
"What do you have to say about losing in the global competition?"
"Did you guys throw the match?"
"Demon, I heard that you bully your teammates. Is that true?"
"Whose fault was it that the game went wrong?"
"Why don't you release the recording of the match? Did you have an argument during the match?"
The RL team members struggled to walk out.
until--
"Does Stars' death have anything to do with you?"
The tall, slender boy at the front suddenly flashed a sinister rage in his eyes.
He reached out and grabbed the reporter by the collar.
"Demon, what are you doing?!"
A flicker of panic crossed the reporter's eyes, but he continued to thrust the microphone forward.
"The internet says Stars' death wasn't an accident..."
RL's team members angrily surrounded them.
The boy grabbed the reporter by the collar and punched him hard.
"Brother Luo—"
