The 2021 winter transfer period has come to an end, and the LPL team after the lineup adjustment has already made its debut in the German Cup. Although the main players of some teams have not yet played, from the strength shown in the German Cup, the collision of the new season is also particularly worth looking forward to.
Usually, the club's actions during the transfer period will be closely related to the results of the new season. Therefore, when signing some freelance players or star players, the risk and reward coexist. Some of them seemed to be the players the club needed, but in the end it turned out to be the opposite of what they wanted. Over the past year, we have seen a number of teams achieve good results, but there are also some teams that have not achieved the desired results.
Recently, foreign media selected the most failed signings for the 2021 season, and four of them were: TSM-SwordArt, TL-Alphari, FPX-Nuguri, and G2-Rekkles.
In order to sign SpellArt, TSM set the highest salary contract in North America: $6 million for two years. It seemed full of hope, but in the end it did not follow TSM's plan and eventually left the TSM team a year later.
Nuguri was one of the hottest free men of last year's transfer period, and as a world champion single, many teams threw an olive branch to Nuguri players, and he finally chose FPX. Zone results aside, the FPX at the 2021 World Championships was disappointing. Before the start of the World Championship, the FPX was considered the most promising team to compete with the DK, as the players on each of their lines were offensive and excellent individual strength, but the FPX eventually fell to the group stage.
It has also been commented that for FPX, buying Nuguri players is a failed signing, but it is a successful operation for other teams. Because FPX kept Nuguri in its own team, it not only weakened DK's strength, but also did not let other teams get the championship single.
So what do you guys think about that?
