I think he has a case of internalized racism where he just automatically assumes a Chinese company will do scummy and stupid things. The fact of the matter is, Tencent is not stupid and there is no way Tencent will allow XWX to compete in LPL should he be suspended by Riot - they have nothing to gain and everything to lose should they make such decision. Riot can only ban from LCS (and internation events than organize). When CLG members were banned from competing in OGN for 2 years, Riot didn't stopped them from competing in the LCS. I see no reason at all Tencent would act otherwise.
This is not how it works anymore. Raison was eloboosting in Korea and got banned in Garena, for example.

This is really, really sad as a TIP fan, especially if Rush is implicated  . They both seemed like such nice guys.
Aside: The picture of XWX smiling and waving, juxtaposed with this serious headline, is just a little comical.

I've no idea as to what TiP even does now. Do they start Adrian as midlaner? Or Rhux? Unlike Gambit, they weren't given any notice about the impending suspension of one of their players before the cutoff point for signing on new players, so they didn't get a choice to brace for impact, so to say. And that's before even considering potential repercussions for Rush.
Then again, if one of TiP's managers was involved in this, he probably has no one to blame but himself.

Gate is going to play mid, Adrian to support

Rip LCS.
End of season banning shenanigans at work again.

He didn't say that at all. He said he didn't realize how serious of an issue it was, which completely lines up with how Chinese players view elo boosting as I've stated multiple times in this thread. It's just so commonplace on the Chinese servers that Chinese players treat elo boosting with about the same amount of disdain as they treat smurfing - as in, not much at all. More of a "ok it's a thing, whatever."

For completely selfish reasons, I hope Riot don't throw the book at him. I really enjoy watching TiP play and I'd love to see how they'd go at worlds. They were looking on track for that before all this happened.

Well I for one am glad that this might have just been a single case. I feared it could go much deeper.

Still there is no such thing as "a little forbidden". He knew that it was not allowed. Thinking there would only be a small punishment if caught does not really make it better.
Also he has been playing in NA for over 2 years now. Other players also have to know about rules as they are now, not how they were 3 years ago.

It was almost certainly done with TIPs support. No other way 1400 dollars goes from one bank account to another without someone knowing about it.
Most likely done just because well, pro's gotta eat. And Riots individual salaries are kind of low/not sustaining without outside sponsorship/income.

How do you figure that? If $1400 goes into my account my employer certainly doesn't hear about it.

If 1400 goes into your employers account then into your account they certainly do.

Why is elo boosting such a big deal anyways? You're paying people that are good at the game to try hard at winning soloq, which is miles better for the competitiveness of a region than the current circlejerking everyone whines about.

I didn't catch the bit about the Alex Gu's email being the address provided.
Seems pretty hard to believe Gu didn't know the account was being used in that way but Riot would probably need more evidence than that to go ham on TiP as an org.
