The situation involving Faker and his toxic attackers might have a significant impact on the League of Legends community
On the afternoon of July 19, Korean media reported on T1’s decision to launch the legal system and officially sue those who attacked or insulted Faker online. This can be considered a very drastic move by T1 to protect their players.
League of Legends has long been known as one of the most toxic esports communities. And it’s not unusual for players to be insulted, as well as Faker himself. Professional players must frequently disregard these distractions in order to concentrate on the game.
The League community, on the other hand, praised T1’s efforts. Not only Faker, but also other pro players like Ryu, Uzi, and Doinb…, have also been the target of “cyberbullying” on several occasions.
To prevent extended problems, the players themselves do not want to disclose it. As a result, these acts are unintentionally allowed.
T1’s decision against Faker’s attackers this time will almost certainly create a precedent, encouraging teams to be more intense in using the law to defend their players. This does not cause the company to lose followers, but it might generate compassion since it allows the community to witness the efforts made to safeguard their players.
It is unclear how T1’s lawsuit against Faker’s attackers came to be, but it has generated quite a stir in the League community.
And, at the very least, the players will be more protected than in the past when it comes to criticism thrown at them as well as the company.
