A live broadcast on China's Douy's platform on August 7 turned into a stressful personal attack, attracting public attention. A group of professional players, including Icon and Shanks, have threatened words, insulting a woman with “66” ID with disagreements.
The incident started around 6am, when the female user “66” participated in an online debate with the theme “Women do alcohol work”. After that, the debate quickly became fierce. The tension escalated when an account was identified as the Icon player left a threatening comment on the user “66”: “Where do you live in the United States? Dare to post the address? Let me call the person to 'treat' her, call the black guy to 'treat' her”. Shortly thereafter, the icon also connected the microphone to directly participate in the argument.
After that, the Al Shanks player also participated and had a joke: “66, my friend wanted to make friends with her, the icon just cursed at each other earlier, he felt her voice, wanted to date her (…) Where did you live?”. When the opponent was a professional player, “66” responded and another woman criticized players – streamers.
Users “66” responded: “Professional players are very good but not the reason for such moral insiders”. Despite the turning off, Shanks is said to continue to comment on the address of “66”. Other players like Smlz (present but not speaking), Mole and Ale also participated in the comment section with the attitude of being thought to follow and joke.
In social networking platforms like X, Shanks's behavior is heavily criticized, especially when this player is a professional player, one of the best names in China. Even on August 7, Shanks and Anyone's Legend have to play with Funplus Phoenix and this player still participates in controversy until 7 am. Currently, the incident is still causing a lot of controversy in the online community about celebrities' behavioral culture and the attack on cyberspace, greatly affecting the image of professional players.
