Remark: Cutting Leeks has another meaning on Chinese Internet.
Leeks is a very strong plant, even if the farmer cuts the leaves, they will continue growing as long as their roots are still living. At the same time, in the eyes of the “big players” in the market, there is always some new, retail but steady investors coming in the market. Therefore, Chinese market dubbed these people as “Leeks.”
These new investors will keep buying when the stock market’s rising, making the stock market continue to grow like leeks.
When the stock market reached a certain height, the “big players” will sell aggressively, and the stock market will decline sharply. At this time, these new investors will be trapped in the high positions, and having big losses. This is called “Cutting Leek”.
And now, this slang word are being using in many different situation. For example, you are an online game player, and you always get killed by those stronger players in the game, so you were the “Leeks” in the game.
This tournament is powered by Qiaolin and crowdfunding by his fans on this streaming channel. In order to comfort the Warcraft III fans due to the stock market decline, Qiaolin hosted a show-match to let the fans having some fun with it, and wish everyone growing like the “Leeks”.
