RNG was ordered to pay Douyu 30 million yuan in compensation for breach of contract by cooperating with Douyu’s competitors.

RNG has always been a popular team in the LPL. It was formerly called Royal Family. In 2018, when Douyu’s contract with Panda TV ended, they took advantage of the popularity and signed a contract with RNG (except Uzi). When the RNG team members first started broadcasting on Douyu, they were very popular in every live broadcast room and could be regarded as the first-line anchors of the platform. However, only a year later, all RNG team members went to Huya.

Before the RNG players left, the popularity of the live broadcast room was sluggish, and they seemed to have no intention of live broadcasting, and their posture was to go to Huya with the "crime" of job hopping. Uzi was originally broadcasting on Huya, so now he has a "happy reunion", but it is a big blow to Douyu.

As a result, the case was filed and went to court last year. After nearly a year, the contract dispute was finally over. RNG was ordered to pay Douyu 30 million yuan and various expenses of 237,000 yuan, all by RNG is responsible (Leyou Company).
