At the official end of the 2021 LPL winter transfer period, there is finally an answer as to whether the eternal god Uzi will return. On December 15, 2021, BLG officially announced Uzi joining the team convention for the new season, which means that Uzi officially announced his comeback after a year and a half of retirement.
Many people are aware of Uzi's comeback, which officially announced his retirement on June 3, 2020. Under the LPL, any professional player is not allowed to return for a year after official retirement. It was this stipulation that in June 2021, a year after Uzi's retirement, there was a lot of noise about whether Uzi would return. However, since Uzi's contract with RNG didn't end until December 2021, Uzi's comeback came back six months later than expected.
So why is Uzi back? Currently, there are two key factors. First, Uzi still has unfinished dreams in his career. He is the winner of the Global Finals. Although Uzi is an old athlete, he is still young after all. In this case, Uzi thinks he must be able to sprint again
As a former gold medalist, if Uzi can continue his former dominance in the new season, he is actually more likely to represent the country again. So whatever it is, it's very attractive to Uzi.
Can Uzi maintain a sufficient level of competition? While Uzi's comeback is a happy affair for many, whether Uzi can play his former dominance at the LPL is actually a question mark. After all, Uzi has been retired for a year and a half, and the gap of that year and a half can't be bridged by his usual ranking.
Judging from the fierce competition in the LPL in the past two seasons, the teams that have participated in the global finals for two consecutive seasons have not repeated the same mistakes, which is enough to prove that the competition in the LPL is becoming more and more fierce. In other words, even if Uzi can still maintain the level of competition in the 2019 season, his influence on the road will still be greatly challenged. More importantly, Uzi is Liu Qingsong's new partner in the new season, not to mention the degree of tacit understanding between them. Now it's hard for ADC to play Carrie in an official match.
