The interview with Chovy’s desire to “go home safely” when attending Worlds 2022 in the US is causing fierce controversy in the international community.
In the near future, the 2022 World Finals will be held in Mexico (the Warm-Up Round) and the US (Group Stage onwards). The ultimate goal of all players is definitely to bring home the championship for their team. This is also the World Championship that brings together many famous names of the LoL village.
However, there is a fact that, for many people, the US (and also Mexico) is not really safe. Even with the players, there are many opinions expressing concern about security issues if attending Worlds 2022 here. Recently, player Chovy – one of the most anticipated names has spoken about this issue.
In a recent interview, Chovy was extremely honest when asked “Is this your first time coming to America?”. Accordingly, this player replied: “I hope I won’t get “shot” (literally). And it would be great to be able to return home unharmed.”
There were some comments that followed “Chovy’s wishes” when the post appeared on the social network Reddit. It is also suggested that Chovy will always be safe if he avoids schools, police stations and churches in America.
However, there are also many objections and say that, in fact, the image of the United States has been spread in the wrong way, making foreigners feel unsafe when coming to this country. In addition, there are also opinions that, in places where Worlds 2022 is held, there are strict laws on weapon control, so it will be safe for the players.
Of course, it’s possible that Chovy had absolutely no malice in her response to the matter. And in fact, there have been many shootings at places such as schools, police stations … in the US. But surely, Riot as well as managing the teams will have to ensure absolute safety for all players and members attending the upcoming Worlds 2022.
