Wai-kin is best known for being a League of Legends mid-laner for Taipei Assassin, winning the Season 2 World Championship. The now 29 year old has since retired from esports, instead opting to become an online influencer and vlogger.
According to a post made by Taiwain English News, Wai-kin was taken into policy custody on Tuesday where he underwent a drugs test. Police searched the ex-pro’s home, where they found marijuana that they believed was intended to be sold. They petitioned the courts to keep him in custody for further questioning.
