In the world of online entertainment and especially livestreaming, fans are all too familiar with stories of couples coming together and breaking up. Many pairs make a loud entrance only to part ways amid drama. But for longtime fans of the game League of Legends (LOL), the love story between Wang Jichao and Oguri Zhi (often called Kuri) was something truly different.
Because of their genuine, no-frills relationship, the recent announcement that the couple had peacefully split sent shockwaves through the online community. Many fans sadly admitted, “We thought their story would end with a fairytale wedding, but instead it ended with an apology.”
To understand why their breakup hit so hard, we have to look back at how their relationship began.
The Perfect Pair
Wang Jichao and Oguri Zhi’s relationship was witnessed by fans almost from the start. They never tried to stir up drama to trend on social media, nor did they exploit their romance to boost their fame. Their journey together was simple, sweet, and natural.
Both have solid reputations in the streaming world thanks to their unique strengths:
Wang Jichao: A gaming prodigy known for his top-tier skills in high-rank matches. He’s famous for his steady gameplay, sharp strategic mind, and calm, focused streaming style.
Oguri Zhi (Kuri): A lively female streamer who draws thousands of fans with her cheerful, energetic personality and knack for creating entertaining livestream moments.
When these two opposite magnets came together, they became one of the hottest couples in the livestreaming scene. Whether climbing ranks together in-game or streaming outdoor adventures, they always gave viewers a comfortable vibe, understanding each other without needing words.
One of the most memorable moments for fans was an outdoor livestream where Wang Jichao, usually quiet and shy around crowds, bravely confessed his feelings to Oguri. His announcement that their relationship had officially shifted from “best friends” to “lovers” was not only a turning point for them but also became one of the most iconic moments in the LOL community.
A Simple Goodbye
But life isn’t a fairytale, and the real lives of streamers have struggles outsiders can’t see. After a long time together, Oguri unexpectedly posted a short message on her personal page confirming they had “gone their separate ways” peacefully.
“Each of us has our own challenges and hardships. We hope that in the future, we can both move forward with strength.”
Just a few simple lines, no long exposés, no blame or fights, and absolutely no criticism. They chose to end their beautiful relationship with silence and maximum respect for each other.
Thousands of netizens expressed shock and sadness. Some sharp-eyed fans said they had noticed signs of strain recently in the couple’s reduced interactions. But even with some warning, facing the official breakup announcement was a harsh reality for those who had supported the pair for years. It wasn’t just the end of a romance, but a farewell to a shared youth.
This firm decision means fans won’t see their sweet on-stream moments anymore. The name “Sugar Super Chestnut” will slowly fade into memory, becoming a quiet piece of nostalgia for early LOL fans.
Moving forward, Wang Jichao and Oguri Zhi will each return to their own careers. They’ll continue as independent streamers, delivering top-tier gameplay and fun livestreams. They’ll meet new people and explore new places. Though time may fade those sweet moments, the kindness they showed each other in their farewell will always earn public respect.
