One of China's favorite players Caomei of World Elite has released a statement on their recent performances and has an issued an apology after a terrible tragedy.

During All-Stars, Caomei had to depart from the venue immediately due to his father passing away during the event. While the team still managed to finish 4th in the final standings of LPL Spring 2014, Caomei feels his performance has been inconsistent of recent.  

He has apologized to fans in a statement posted to Chinese gamesite game.163.com. The translation from GamesinAsia states it as follows:
 

If I had played better during the playoffs, perhaps it wouldn’t have come to this. I myself am very clear on the quality of my performances; every game started off well and with a chance to win. But I had too many problems, and I apologize to everyone for losing in this competition. Most of all, I apologize to my teammmates, I’ve screwed them over. Since coming back from Paris I have sucked more and more, no, maybe it started earlier than that, oh…

On the internet I always see ragers saying I suck. Actually, I think there’s no reason to make this kind of post, because it’s the truth. The range of my abilities [from game to game] is too great, I’m unstable. One moment I can beat anyone and the next I can get stomped by anyone, it’s really a joke. I hope that after watching my laning and competition, everyone can help give me some tips on Weibo or on the forums.

After returning twice to Wuhan, my “family issues” are more or less taken care of, and I’ve already passed along everyone’s prayers to my father, thank you all! After the event in Chengdu on the first I’ll return to Shanghai and start over; I promise, you’re going to see a different Caomei, just wait and see!

I will continue to do my best! If I still can’t change anything, then just treat me like a joke, that’s fine.

Caomei and his team, backed by a new Korean coach Hiro, will look to dominate the upcoming LPL Summer 2014 starting once again on June 14.
