On November 12, several esports accounts reported that the LPL (League of Legends Pro League, the official league for mainland China) had issued a permanent ban on FPX’s jungler Milkyway (Cai Zijun), prohibiting him from participating in any League of Legends competitions. This makes him the first player in a major region’s top league to receive a permanent ban.

In August this year, a netizen reported on Weibo that Milkyway, during his time with the RNG club, had leaked internal mock draft (BP) information—including hero selections and strategic plans—during the 2024 Demacia Cup group stage. Several chat logs were also published. In response, FPX released an official statement announcing the immediate suspension of Milkyway’s matches and training, reporting the matter to the league that same night, and pledging full cooperation with the investigation.

During the investigation, Milkyway posted on Weibo denying any involvement in selling BP information and stated that he had filed a report with the police, but there were no further updates afterward.

It is worth noting that Milkyway was named the 2024 LPL Rookie of the Year, and his performance on stage had been highly anticipated. On July 30 this year, FPX officially announced Milkyway’s return from RNG to FPX, joining the team as their jungler for upcoming competitions.
