FPX indefinitely suspends milkyway amidst match-fixing issues
Esports has seen its fair share of match-fixing scandals, like the iBuyPower scandal in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Esports are facing it again with League of Legends team FunPlus Phoenix (FPX) and their jungler Cai โmilkwayโ Zi-Jun.
Reports of match-fixing during the 2024 Demacia Cup are the reason behind his suspension. On August 11, 2025, FPX announced that the team received a report that milkyway did not follow the rules. They are getting ahead of the issue, as he was not an FPX player during the event.
This event took place in Shanghai, China, from December 19 to 29 in 2024, and featured teams from the LPL, LDL, and other invited teams. The issue stems from milkyway playing for RNG in December 2024, as he only joined FPX again in July 2025. If the reports are confirmed, he could face a lifetime ban from the League of Legends esports scene.
