The new LPL season is about to begin, and it is a new year for the players. However, this does not include some players, last year's particularly lively transfer period, there are many players did not find the next home, including some well-known players.
According to the statistics of players, there are as many as 9 players who are still playing games last season but are unemployed this season, including nuguri who are in a special situation, and there are wolves who obviously have strength but finally choose to live broadcast. None of them announced their retirement, but they didn't find their next players.
As for why these players have not found a home in the case of strength, the reasons are varied. Some are not worth the strength, some are not budgeted enough, and some are too fierce to compete for the same position during the transfer period.
This situation has also led to many clubs' paper lineups not looking good or not meeting the expectations of fans, the most obvious of which is IG and TES (in fact, the TES lineup is very good, but fans are not satisfied).
For now, however, this may change.
Recently, LPL released the 2022 Season League of Legends Pro League Rules (January 2022 version). A new transfer rule was added, "Players Transfer During the Season".
The "Players' Season Transfer" mainly contains 2 large bars, 1 is the transfer between LPL teams, and 1 is the transfer of LDL teams and LPL teams. The transfer was made to the LPL by clubs in the middle of the spring season (In February), something that had never happened before.
This is very interesting, from the rules point of view, the club uses this regulation to strengthen. But if it is broken down into the needs of each club, it is not necessarily the case. For example, the season goal of an e-commerce club is to be more than 4 or win the championship, but their newly introduced digital players do not perform as expected, but the digital players are very much in line with the requirements of a club that aims to enter the playoffs.
It is also important to note that if this regulation is used, players in the season will not be able to play from the beginning of the report to the time of official approval. So even if the club doesn't say it, just by looking at the situation, fans can see who will be traded during the season.
Who are the most likely to be traded?
