The 2021 LPL winter transfer period is coming to an end, and recently, IG officially announced the official departure of the core single player Rookie, which has also once again triggered the feelings of LPL fans. Although the matter of Rookie's departure from IG was almost conclusive before the official announcement of IG, fans were still upset when they saw the official announcement of Rookie's departure.
Rookie is arguably one of our LPL's greatest foreign aides. And the reason for greatness is a total of three aspects. First, when Rookie first came to IG, she was actually a "giveaway" from Kakao, the "Wild King" at that time. However, through her own efforts, Rookie has gradually become the core of IG, and now she is the soul of IG, and even one of the greatest players in IG history. And Rookie's inspirational story naturally inspires many people.
Second, the excellent competitive state of "ten years like a day". If in the LPL Pro League, which professional player is often described by fans as "trying his best", rookie is undoubtedly one of them. Throughout her career in the LPL, Rookie has been in excellent competitive form. Every time IG needed Rookie, he was always able to turn the tide. Behind this "ten years as a day" outstanding competitive state, how much effort needs to be paid, I am afraid that only he himself knows. Of course, although rookie's competitive state did decline in the 2021 season, it is more inseparable from the overall sluggish state of IG's team.
Third, that is the honor that Rookie brought to the LPL, in the 2018 season, IG "crossed the mountains and cut through the thorns" without being favored, and finally won the first global finals championship in history for the LPL in the 2018 season. For the first time in history, any competitive event is undoubtedly great and memorable. Perhaps it is also the IG's victory that our LPL has officially entered the golden age of a hundred schools of contention.
However, even if Rookie has done so much for IG, she still can't retire at IG. However, even if Rookie leaves IG, she can still feel the deep affection between Rookie and IG. Because just after IG officially announced Rookie's departure, Rookie spoke for the first time, although only 18 words, but also can appreciate how unwilling Rookie is, Rookie said, "Special thanks to IG, never forget the time spent at IG." ”
Yeah, how could Rookie forget how long she spent at IG, it's like too many LPL fans can't imagine what Rookie would look like on other teams. However, this is the end of the matter, I hope Rookie can start a new chapter in her career, in the other teams, all the best!
