Jee defends ZywOo from Chinese community

In the Quarter-Final between Vitality and TYLOO, where the international team ended up beating the Chinese team by 2-0, another drama unfolded between ZywOo and Jee. In Round 7 on the second map Nuke, there was a round where JEE was saving in Garage, but ZywOo ended up denied the save and started shooting on his corpse.

The BM moment led to several Chinese fans flaming the Frenchman, interpreting it as a sign of disrespect towards Jee. Several fans started being disrespectful towards ZywOo, calling him a 'fat pig' and hurling other insults. Ultimately, it led to Jee telling the community to stop harassing ZywOo, through a video via Douyin.

The translation for Jee's statement reads as:

"I actually think everyone is being too aggressive. I really don't think ZywOo is that kind of person. I think ZywOo is actually a very friendly person. Because today on the way to the match, he was walking behind me and he saw a charm/pendant on my backpack and he said it was very cute. I feel like maybe everyone sees CS's death animation differently. I don't think ZywOo is that kind of person. I hope everyone can stop the cyberbullying. Just peace."

ZywOo and JEE then later also exchanged their jerseys, in a video shared by ZywOo on X:
