Stalkers Target Chinese LoL Player iBoy at His Home
In another troubling incident in the Chinese League of Legends scene, stalkers recently showed up at the house of Vici Gaming’s Xu “iBoy” Xian-Zhao. Pretending to be his friends, they were able to gain entry to the house while iBoy was away with friends. Vici Gaming issued a statement condemning this behavior and emphasized the need to respect players’ privacy.
Fans Going to Great Lengths to Find Players
According to reports, the fans went door to door searching for iBoy’s house. Vici Gaming firmly denounced this type of behavior, emphasizing that they do not want fans to directly interact with players or their families. The organization further stated that if such incidents continue, legal action will be pursued to ensure the personal safety of players.
A Disturbing Trend
Unfortunately, this kind of behavior is not limited to Chinese fans. Korean fans have also been known to engage in similar actions, particularly when Korean teams underperform in international events. However, LCK teams have not yet experienced cases of stalking like this.
Organizations Taking Action
Following recent incidents of online harassment and threats towards players and staff members, LCK teams such as T1 and Hanwha Life Esports have appealed to fans to refrain from making hostile remarks. Both organizations have made it clear that they will pursue legal action if such behavior continues.
