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.”
Chovy said he hopes he doesn’t accidentally get “shot” while in the US
“And I would be happy if I could go home unharmed” – Chovy shared
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.
He even said that he won’t get a haircut and is thinking about cutting his own hair at home
I feel the same way about Mexico
As long as Chovy doesn’t go to school, the police station, or the church, it’s fine
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.
Mexico, New York, California and Georgia. More specifically Mexico City, Atalanta, New York City and San Francisco. These cities have high crime rates, but gun control laws in California and New York are good enough to protect players. As long as you don’t go out at night.
I’ve lived in the US all my life and have never seen a citizen brandish a gun let alone threaten another citizen with a gun. I have visited quite a few big cities and towns in the country. It’s a shame that the image of my country has been taken by so many foreigners who think that maybe something like this will happen to them if they come to visit us. We may have problems, but your chances of becoming a victim of violence are still amazingly low when you visit the United States.
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.
