Players who were preparing for Sunday's match were thrown off by this news.
Without a care in the world, Yi was busily leaving comments saying "sorry" and "pure, handsome man" under every post denouncing Lincoln's downfall.
But the still competing anchors and esports players were a different story. They were too flustered to focus on their tactics.
The new game from Cloud Dream! Lincoln even hit up the night scene for inspiration, is he trying to tap into the 18+ market?
A virtual reality 18+ game? Seriously, who could compete with that?!
In the meantime, countless gaming industry professionals, both established bigwigs and small start-up teams of less than five, were shocked beyond words by this news.
"How can Cloud Dream Studio's game development pace be so fast?"
"That's too absurd!"
"While Lincoln created virtual reality technology, did he also invent a wish-granting machine?"
"Does he rent out his wish-granting machine?"
