The 2021 Challenger Cup competition of The Glory of Kings is about to usher in the final showdown between Wuhan eStarPro and Guangzhou TTG. Other teams have also started the rhythm of the operational transfer season. In the gap between this offseason, let's take a look back at the glory of kings 2021, those sad players!
For e-sports, cooking is the original sin, only achievement is king, and the winner eats everything. When it comes to the history of the KPL league, the most dominant team, familiar with the KPL, will definitely think of the original QG Five Tigers in the 2017 season. At that time, QG Five Tigers, with the operation and concept of far exceeding the same period of the team, won three crowns in one year and created their own dynasty. In this achievement, except for Nanjing Hero Jiujing, no team can achieve the goal of three crowns in one year.
However, five years have passed, coupled with the earliest retired Lao Yang, the QG Five Tigers have begun to gradually withdraw from the field. Only Cat, Fly and Hurt are still pursuing their dreams on the field, but the career path is also beginning to show decline. Cat tried to transform the auxiliary to continue the career, but played very hard, in the fall of 2021, the reverse move of the first-hand Luban master became the laughing point of the audience's spit in the door; and Fly is the same, the Chongqing Wolves in the second half of the year a four finals and an eight, Fly can not escape the blame. If Cat and FLY can't adjust in time, their career path may be more difficult.
However, among the original QG Five Tigers, the most unsatisfactory is not Cat, nor Fly, nor Alan, but Hurt Sting! Hurt, after failing to transfer in the KPL's fall transfer window, should have actually understood that his career was almost at the end of his life. However, Hurt did not give up on pursuing his dreams and tried to continue his career by loaning to the K-A division. For Sting, that is, the loan is lent to Wuxi JXG, leaving him with only two paths: one is to reach the main stage through the 2021 King glory challenger cup; the second way is to play the KPL through the KPL temporary seat qualification tournament.
Frankly, both of these paths can play head-to-head with KPL teams, and Hurt can also use this way to prove his strength to KPL teams. Prove that as the oldest C-player in active duty, you can still play, and show those teams that do not buy themselves during the transfer period. Yet dreams are beautiful, reality is cruel. Although Wuxi JXG played well in the K A and won the 2021 K A Autumn Championship, it was in the subsequent KPL provisional seat qualifiers. Wuxi JXG played very generally, first by MTG to let two chase three, and then lost to XYG, two consecutive defeats eliminated out.
Subsequently, he also had bad luck in the Challengers Cup, and won the KPL Autumn Runner-up Guangzhou TTG. Finally, he was kept a clean sheet by Guangzhou TTG, stopped in the quarterfinals again, and was eliminated!
Frankly, the loss of these two games can be said to be a near-devastating blow to Hurt's career. Although there is news on the Internet that Hurt will still be listed during the transfer period of the 2022 KPL Spring Games, no one wanted it last time, and this time it is definitely no one wants it. Then Gemini also broke the news that the probability of the dissolution of Wuxi JXG is very large, and the current K-A team operation mode is probably to play the K-A League, if you can win the championship or runner-up, you are eligible to play the KPL qualification tournament. If you can't play KPL, you will directly sell people for profit, and roll up and leave. And Wuxi JXG will most likely sell people, selling the core players of Wuxi JXG, there is no reason to continue to rent Hurt! In other words, this KPL veteran, the AD template of the King of 囧, has probably begun to retire the countdown! alas!
