On June 3, 2020, Uzi announced his retirement. Due to his physical health, he could no longer continue to fight. Although announcing his retirement, Uzi has said in several interviews since then that he hopes to return to the stage if possible.
After two years of adjustments, blG finally announced Uzi joining the team during last year's winter transfer period. Uzi's comeback attracted attention, and after 895 days, Uzi was back on the pro.
In the match against IG, BLG chose to let Uzi play after losing the first set. At the same time, Uzi rushed to the top of the hot search list. And the next two games did not disappoint the players, and the two sides presented a wonderful showdown for the audience. Although Uzi did not help the team win the game, from the point of view of form, Uzi, who has been away from the field for two years, seems to have maintained quite well.
Korean media also published their own evaluation after Uzi appeared:
Uzi was previously the main ADC of RNG, and although he lacked results in international competitions, his strong play style also made him an international superstar player. Fans all over the world love watching him play heroes like Wayne and Kinks, and his walking position and kite skills attract audiences. Seeing him so aggressively hovering on the brink of death is a visual feast for the audience.
It will take a while for Uzi to reach the heights of 2019, but his first game back to the LPL looks like a good start. It is reassuring that Uzi has maintained his style since retiring. He was never afraid to operate, and whether the team was ahead or ten thousand behind, he always seemed to find an opportunity.
Uzi's return to the LPL was mixed, and despite his best efforts, BRG lost the game. Breathe failed to help the team, and for someone like Uzi who was on the brink of death, a small misstep or bad decision could have disastrous consequences.
This is no longer Uzi's LPL division, which is now a stronger division than Uzi's heyday. Midstream teams also regularly beat top teams, with defending champion EDG losing 2-0 to WBG. This is not the same as the previous situation, even within the BRG team, Uzi needs to rotate.
Doggo rose to fame through MSI and the World Stage, and his performances in the first few weeks of the LPL were also very impressive. Averaging 9.69 per minute (second in the LPL), he also contributed to the BRG victory.
So now the key question is no longer "is Uzi the strongest ADC in the LPL"? It's whether Uzi is the strongest ADC on the BRG team. It's great to see Uzi back, but there's a lot more to come back to his former glory.
