ThunderTalk Gaming support Wang "
Feather" Tian-Ci-Fu received a fine and a deduction from this month’s salary after he was recently caught trolling in a solo queue game that included T1 midlaner Lee "
Faker" Sang-hyeok, who reported him for inappropriate behavior.
The organization confirmed that Feather’s behavior was classified as negative gameplay, violating professional standards and league regulations. Following an internal investigation, the club issued an official reprimand along with a fine and a deduction from this month’s salary/bonus, in addition to the league’s own sanctions. The organization apologized to affected players and stated it will strengthen conduct education and player support going forward.
Feather was playing Rakan on the same team as Faker, who was on Azir.
During the game, Faker repeatedly pointed out that Feather was not playing properly and issued reports for negative attitude, unsportsmanlike gameplay, and ping manipulation/abuse. He later reported him again for negative attitude and leaving/AFK, openly hoping the player would be banned. In the following game, Faker was matched against Feather, who had still not been banned.
Feather apologized for his behavior, acknowledging that his poor attitude and mindset negatively affected the game, his teammates, and the league. He accepted full responsibility, stating that what he did was wrong regardless of the circumstances, and promised to correct his approach to the game moving forward. He emphasized that this was a serious lesson, one he will remember for life, and vowed to maintain the right attitude in all future matches.
