After only 2 weeks of joining Funplus Phoenix (FPX), the Milkyway forest player was suspended by the team. The reason given by FPX is to investigate violations during the Demacia Cup 2024.

On the morning of August 13, FPX published a notification on Weibo about the incident related to Milkyway. First, the organization affirmed that it would handle false statements against FPX. After verification, FPX concludes the allegations of spreading are not true and will take legal measures to protect the rights.


Next, FPX directly refers to Milkyway's problem:
“On the evening of August 11, 2025, FPX received a document denouncing Thai Tuan Tu (ID: Milkyway) that violated the regulations during the Demacia Cup 2024. We attach great importance to this issue, immediately suspend the entire schedule and training of the player, and report the incident to the organizers right that night, comprehensive coordination in the investigation.

Currently, we are waiting for verification results from the organizers. Before the official conclusion, FPX will temporarily suspend all cooperation with Thai Tuan Tu according to the tournament regulations. Maintaining the purity of the electronic sports environment is the inseparable principle of the team; We will not accept any malicious fabricated behavior, nor tolerate any violations of regulations or laws. ”

FPX's notice does not specify the reason why Milkyway is investigated. However, the fact that he could not play was a great loss for FPX, especially when he only joined the team for 2 weeks.

Milkyway switched from Royal Never Give Up to FPX in July 2025, playing 3 matches before being replaced in game 2 against JD Gaming. During the absence Milkyway, the young Iyy player is expected to take on the jungle position. Currently, FPX is at the penultimate of ASCEX table with a record of 1 win - 7 losses, only ranked on the WE team.
