Some of you have seen it, some haven't: a video leaked from a private server where Valko was added. Let me say right away — nothing really new was shown (I've watched the full video), so we're at roughly the same stage as yesterday, except now we can actually see Valko on screen. A small thing, but a nice one.
But! As nice as it is to see him, these are still leaks — still someone else's build from an unverified source (nobody knows who this person is, and they're suspected of having ties to people who want the game to fail, or to the antis). Anyone with the skills can edit the interface however they like and slap in slots for as many as 10 LIs. Right now I'm watching the antis start screeching in unison that there were supposed to be more LIs after Valko — which means it's the exact opposite, and they're pushing a narrative that suits them, just to turn others against Valko.
Yesterday and the day before, they were crying out in exactly the same way that Valko's story had SA in it — and it turned out they had shamefully edited the text themselves, because nothing even close to that is in the original.
Maybe they got scared that people were starting to change their opinion of Valko, and decided to turn people against him again with a scare story about more LIs. And I'm not talking about Twitter — I'm talking about the Chinese side, because the antis here are very surprised, since they don't see posts like that. They really think their opinion matters, haha. PPG will look at China, and if the opinion there shifts, they'll play along with it.
Leaks like this won't cancel Valko's release in any way. If anything, now that we've seen this, it would be harder for PPG to reuse his materials for other LIs, if that's what they were planning. So for us and for the boycott, nothing changes.
Don't panic. Nothing has been decided yet — we have to keep going and not get distracted from our goal.
