Milkyway player officially exonerated in the LPL tournament.
Chinese prodigy Milkyway has been officially cleared of all match-fixing allegations in the LPL after police investigators concluded that the evidence against him was entirely fabricated.
Back in late 2025, the League of Legends community was shaken when Milkyway received a lifetime ban from the LPL organizers. The reason stemmed from allegations that he leaked his team's draft picks for gambling purposes. At the time, the case was largely closed based on screenshots of chat conversations, which were considered irrefutable evidence confirming his involvement in match-fixing.
However, according to the latest investigation results, authorities have determined that all of the aforementioned screenshots are fabricated. The police agency affirms that there is no legitimate evidence to suggest that this player was involved in match-fixing activities.
In a public statement shortly after his exoneration, Milkyway vehemently denied any involvement or connection to any form of unfair competition. He also expressed his deep gratitude to the police for conducting a thorough investigation that helped clear his name.
In addition, the male player did not forget to thank his friends, fans, and those who have always stood by and supported him through the storm of public opinion. Now that his reputation has been cleared, Milkyway expresses his strong desire to return to professional competition as soon as possible.
This latest development is sparking heated debate, raising questions about whether the LPL or the league organizers will reconsider and lift the lifetime ban imposed on Milkyway. For now, Milkyway's case serves as a stark warning about how falsified evidence can severely damage a player's career, and underscores the paramount importance of transparent investigations in maintaining the integrity of esports.
