In the past, Li emotionally rage-quit during a match and said his poor performance was due to indulging “sensual pleasures.”

UPDATE (11:29 a.m. ET): In a statement on Chinese social media site Weibo, Li’s girlfriend stated that while Li broke things, “he did not beat me.” According to her, “[Li] was very agitated and started smashing stuff. He smashed everything around him and said some really bad stuff!”

She said she later sent her friend a WeChat message to call the police. “I wanted to protect myself,” she wrote. “At the time I just wanted to get out of there as soon as possible. I was really afraid. I didn’t know how any of this could happen. Even after the police arrived, he was still livestreaming and cursing at me!” She said she has since broken up with Li.
