Tiffany 'Oling' Lim, a Malaysian translator on behalf of LaNm, expressed his displeasure and wrote the following:

LaNm expressed disappointment at the lack of COVID-19 precautions at a bootcamp in Romania ahead of TI10. There was no preliminary testing, no food or water provided, so the managers went shopping. They had to ASK for coronavirus tests when they felt unwell.

"Is this really TI?"

They feel insecure because people are not wearing masks despite the rise in disease in Romania, and hotel bars are full of people. Players who tested positive were not given separate quarantine rooms. He's worried about other teams in the hotel.

It is noteworthy that all the other participants of The International are in the same hotel as Aster and no precautions are taken, which was what the team coach was dissatisfied with., LaNm.

The post posted on social media by the Chinese mentor has been deleted. After that, he apologized to the PGL for having offended the tournament operator in his own words, accusing the latter of all the moments with which he was dissatisfied. He also noted that the camp before the championship in Romania was not a prerequisite for PGL, and the arrival of Team Aster was entirely the initiative of the Chinese team.

Despite this, he does not take his words that he is still dissatisfied with the level of preparation for The International and said that he has claims against Valve. According to him, at the championship with a prize fund of $ 40,000,000, they could at least provide water, food and medicine, which was not at the place of preparation for the event. He drew an analogy with WePlay AniMajor 2021, where all of the above was and was issued at the right time.

After LaNm's move, the Chinese community turned against Team Aster and Zheng 'LaNm' Zhicheng called the disaffected "bitten dogs."

The team coach said that this is an accident that can happen to absolutely every person.
