Recently, the Honor of Kings Pro League (KPL) has been mired in a controversy regarding 'leaning bias' (歪屁股). Despite team Wolves winning the championship, the official league's handling of the aftermath has left fans wondering who actually won. The promotional materials were so poorly managed that fans joked it should be called 'EPL' (eStar Pro League), with the winning team's content looking suspiciously low-effort.
Furthermore, Alan, a substitute player for eStarPro, was involved in a public provocation against Wolves' player 'Xiao Pang' in a ranked match just before the finals. The fact that the official game account chose to reply to Alan after his behavior—especially given the heated rivalry between the two finalists—was widely criticized as adding fuel to the fire.
The primary source of fan outrage, however, stems from the selection criteria for the 'Season Best' lineup. Previously, when eStarPro won, their entire roster was selected, ignoring cases where the runner-up had better individual statistics. Now that Wolves have won, eStarPro still maintains two spots in the best lineup. The comparison of support player statistics, in particular, has become a punchline in the community.
Community comments suggest this is typical behavior for Tencent's esports division. Many fans cynically remarked that this is 'standard procedure' for the publisher, comparing it to similar controversies in other major esports titles under their umbrella, reinforcing the belief that such bias is systemic.
