E-sports drama "You're Beautiful When You Smile" angered the e-sports circle for plagiarism and smearing players

The e-sports drama "You're Beautiful When You Smile" starring Xu Kai and Cheng Xiao was recently completed. This e-sports drama adapted from a novel is based on LOL, and the prototypes of the protagonists are Wei Xiao and the female version of Wei Shen.

Recently, this drama has been boycotted by fans in the e-sports circle. Because there are a lot of LPL plagiarisms in the drama, such as the pig-raising joke of the factory manager and the fall of the brother-in-law, and other jokes, and it also smears other players and touches on LPL, such as G2 changed to G4, FW changed to FZ. And Li Ge Faker was smeared as a small-minded villain who excludes others in the drama. This also angered LOL fans. You know, in the LOL circle, Li Ge is a person who takes the game very seriously.

The drama’s super topic was blasted by netizens, and even Tencent Esports stood up and said that an explanation was needed!

Feng Xiao, general manager of Tencent's brand marketing, said in a post: Behind every champion, there are countless sweat and efforts, and behind every e-sports story are countless e-sports people with dreams. There is no authorization, no cooperation, but at least please respect LPL. Some netizens also questioned: If the league and the official do not care about this matter, will it be worthy of LPL fans and viewers? Will it be worthy of professional players? Feng Xiao, the general manager, also expressed helplessness and said: There are always many ways to circumvent it, so it's not that we don't want to, but we can't do it. This shows that the top management is helpless about this web drama. They can only publish articles to denounce it, but there is no practical way. If we want to boycott it, we can only rely on ourselves.

LPL commentators Yu Shuang and Mao Huang both expressed their views, saying that please respect LPL. Compared to the existence of the protagonists in novels who are like cheats, in reality, hard work is more likely to be rewarded. Uzi is only in his early twenties and is already riddled with injuries, and Faker is in his prime but his form is declining. E-sports relies not only on talent, but more on hard work. Therefore, we hope that people who don't know much about the e-sports circle can learn more about it and not be misled by these so-called e-sports dramas. Behind the seemingly extraordinary industry, there is a group of ordinary people working hard. You may not love it, but please respect it.

In short, this adaptation not only plagiarizes plots, but also describes the entire e-sports industry as a place where you can easily win by just having a romantic relationship and fighting with your enemies, which is disrespectful to e-sports. What do you think of this?
