No matter how much the club waits, it will have to announce its squad before the Start of the Demacia Cup on 17 December. Starting this morning, many LPL players began announcing the departure of players from the team and the introduction of reinforcements.
With the departure of the domestic top single Bin from WBG this afternoon, almost at the same time, the RNG team also announced the news that the tiger returned to the middle road from the upper unit, and the intention to make room for the new members is well known. In the past year, the Tigers have paid too much for RNG, and have won two championships in positions where they are not good at it. This is unique in the entire history of League of Legends esports.
Now, to join Bin, RNG traded Cryin and Yuekai, while Tigers are the only single players to use. To take it a step further in the coming year, S12's Top Tiger will return to Mid. If there is an award for "Moving Person of the Year" in the LPL's division, tigers will most likely be elected by unanimous vote.
For the tiger to return to the centrist, we can see that there are advantages and disadvantages. The plus is that he's back to his best. In BP, RNG is not as crowded as this season. The downside is that as you get older, it's hard to test the player's individual position in the middle, which can make the Tiger uncomfortable.
The former LPL explained that when Joker learned that Tiger had decided to return to the centrist, he showed concern.
"I'm not optimistic about Tiger's point of view
"Turn around," he said bluntly
Joker's main reasons for his conclusions are as follows:
First, the little tiger tacitly turned to the game. Even if he is at a disadvantage, Wei and other teammates will find opportunities to help him find the field. Secondly, he has a high tactical position on the road. RNG's coach always handed Counter to him. Tiger basically has a big advantage in BP. Tigers received little support, mainly to sustain development.
However, after returning to the Middle Way, it was difficult for him to receive such treatment. The player's personal operational abilities are far more demanding than the hero's constraints (he can't easily play long and short hands). Based on the above points, Joker believes that the Mid Tigers will have a hard time playing singles against the forward center.
The things Joker mentioned did point to a lot of people's concerns, but whether the Tigers will adapt when they return to the middle of the road still depends on the actual number of games. When the little tiger appeared a year ago, there were many more people who looked down on him than now. After playing for a year, this special experience can give The Little Tiger a more different understanding of the game.
As Xiaohu himself said, "In my opinion, there is no perfectly correct choice in the world." All choices are made through our own step-by-step efforts to make the choices seem right. Looking ahead to the S12 season, the Tiger can still be a card in the domestic single.
