【Bad Detective: Food Chain [Uncut]】

If you want to go pro in video games,Bad Detective: Food Chain [Uncut] you can't let sexy times get in the way.

After a couple weeks of spotty performance, pro League of Legends player Li "Vasilii" Wei issued a statement to fans on Weibo explaining why exactly he was playing poorly, and to explain his absence from some of his team's matches.

The reason: "Sensual pleasures."

Here's the full statement from Newbee player Vasilii, translated by Slingshot Esports:

Because I caught a cold before, I asked to be subbed out for the sake of the club’s results. The club maintained its winning streak, so it wasn’t necessary for me to play, and I let myself indulge in sensual pleasures for a while. This led to me playing poorly in solo queue, but last week we lost, so I started to adjust myself to a more abstinent lifestyle. After about two days, I had already adjusted myself (to abstinence). Those of you only watching the news shouldn’t be so quick to pass judgment on me. It’s incorrect. You can check on my results in Korean solo queue rather than take my word for it. I will continue to play and try to correct this matter.

Basically, Vasilii missed a week because he caught a cold, and during that downtime he let himself "indulge in sensual pleasures for a while," which led to him playing poorly by himself outside of team matches and practices.

Exactly what these "sensual pleasures" are -- whether solo or with a partner -- is never specified by Vasilii, but it seemed to be taking up way too much of the player's time and mental energy.

Vasilii had been temporarily replaced on Newbee's roster by Lin "Lwx" Weixiang, and Vasilii likely wrote his statement on Weibo (including the fact that he's more abstinent now) to stop rumors that he would be permanently replaced.

Hopefully Vasilii's commitment to abstinence will help him get back to fighting form.
