On July 27, in an LPL match between Victory Five (V5) and Suning, V5's jungler Peng "pzx" Zhan-Xiang took Teleport instead of Smite in the first game. Pzx took Teleport in a practice game with his teammates and forgot to change it back to Smite.
Due to such a mistake, V5 ended up losing the series to Suning 2-1. V5 is currently recording 0-13, placing at the bottom of LPL's standings. If V5 won the first game, they would have taken their first win this split. V5 fined pzx one month salary and gave a warning for not checking his spell.
In 2020, former eStar jungler Yan “Wei” Yang-Wei made the same mistake of not taking Smite. Wei accidently took Ignite instead of Smite in the first game against Bilibili Gaming, losing the series 2-1. eStar Esports made the same punishment, fining Wei one month salary.
