Riot secret police have revealed that LMQ, the Chinese professional League of Legends team that transferred to NA LCS, has been infiltrated by a perfidious agent of the Sith.

Team LMQ has risen to prominence under the combined influence of Xiang “Alex” Gu and Xiaowei “Sharon” Li, under parent organization Tian Ci. Originally good-hearted and virtuous, Li was eventually seduced by the dark side of the Force, brought under the tutelage of a Dark Lord of the Sith, Emperor “Eric” Liaopatine. He currently rules A&K and LolClass with an iron fist.

Unable to resist a veiled threat, many Sith agents choose transparent names, in this case “SL” could stand for “Sharon Li” as well as “Sith Lord.”

The agents of the dark side’s interest in LMQ grew after its successful promotion to NA LCS. When Team LMQ and Alex Gu arrived home after their victory, they were greeted by Sharon Li and two black-robed men. Gu attempted to send a distress signal to Tian “Ben Kenobi” Ci, but the acolytes threatened to throw his holovid into a nearby pool.

In a show of strength, Emperor Liaopatine plans to construct a super-weapon capable of destroying an entire NA or EU LCS region by firing one Asian team into its qualifiers.

Both sides have released holocrons detailing their own view of the situation. Fortunately, the conflict seems well on its way to a resolution. Wracked by a crackling arc of force lightning, Alex Gu retracted any and all negative comments or statements he may have made regarding Sharon Li or Eric Liao.

Any further statements were difficult to transcribe given Gu’s constant choking sounds.
