Wow, TaiLung just dropped a wall of text.
I skimmed through it—it looks pretty lame, kind of like the excuses from all those no-names on Streamer Battle about why they’re registered as 6k players, but their accounts are found to have 14k MMR
But toward the end of the post, there’s actually something interesting—Tailung asks a question
“In light of all this, I want to publicly ask LGD and PGL:
What exactly is the reason for my suspension?”
And really, this secrecy is getting on my nerves—let them explain what Tailong did, what evidence they have, and so on. Otherwise, you could literally ban anyone just by saying, “WELL, THAT’S WHAT WE DECIDED—THERE’S SOMETHING GOING ON,” It’s quite possible there is, but I’d like the details of such cases to be available to anyone who wants to see them, just like in an open court of law.
Earlier, TaiLung commented on his suspension from The International 2026 and tournaments organized by PGL. “If there is concrete evidence against me, I want to know exactly what I’m being accused of, review that evidence, and have the opportunity to respond to it appropriately,” the player wrote.
