The League of Legends tournament has gone through 11 years of ups and downs, and in this wonderful journey, the names of countless strong teams and countless top players have appeared in our memories and been forgotten. Some of the teams that have persisted to this day still maintain the majesty of the giants, and people can always think of the top players who came out of these strong teams. And some players use their precious youth to engrave their id with the team, and when people talk about him, they think of the team he insists on. As one of the greatest players in LPL history, Rookie spent seven years with iG, writing a legendary story. And now that the story is finally coming to an end, people are finally waiting for an unwilling parting. At this point, the iG team S8 championship lineup has only one person left in the team.
Excerpts from the iG Esports Club Announcement:
The original iG e-sports club League of Legends division in the single player Song Yijin (ID: Rookie) and the club contract expired, after friendly negotiation and communication between the two sides, on the basis of full respect for the wishes of the players, the two sides finally did not reach a renewal intention, Rookie players will leave the team as free people, iG.Rookie officially disconnected today...
From the talented rookie who won the OGN Summer Championship in S4 to the S5 Korean aid wave to the "coal digging brothers" composed of LPL and Kakao. From iG's introduction of the "giveaway" of the strong Kakao to join by the way, to the mainstay of the entire trough period that supported the team with its own strength. He used to be an aggressive and focused on the operation of the line, and later became the dean of the team who grazed and milked the team. The dream he once had to win the iG championship finally came to fruition at the Incheon Bunhak Arena on November 3, 2018. He's been with iG through the storms and waves for seven years, and it's hard to imagine him wearing the uniforms of other teams. But the parting has finally become a fact, and I hope that Rookie can find the way forward again and the future is bright.
