Late at night, just two weeks before the 2023 MSI Mid-Season Championship opener, the spring champion JDG from the LPL region, LCK Spring Champion GEN and runner-up T1 directly advanced to the quarterfinals, while LPL No. 2 seed BLG needs to start from the finals.
Prior to this, the remaining 15 LPL teams entered a long "offseason" and could strengthen their lineups through the League of Legends spring transfer period, perhaps even fans did not expect that one team would officially announce the disconnection of the main team in the middle of the night, he is to send away the MSI triple crown winner RNG of the domestic single Angel.
RNG used to be the most dominant LPL team in the spring competition, from S11 to S12, RNG not only won the LPL Spring Silver Dragon Cup, but also defeated South Korea's LEC giants DK and T1 in the MSI final, achieving the MSI Triple Crown.
Originally thought that RNG could continue the hot momentum in the S13 season, but after the team soul tiger left WBG, RNG fell into a trough, fighting side by side with Breathe, Gala, Xiaoming, Wei, and the veteran Angel who rotated in the middle and Tangyuan, the new generation of Zhongdan, failed to play as it should, and RNG stopped the playoffs early and lost the qualification to impact the club's fourth MSI Gold Cup.
Appeared on the social platform, RNG club official Bo first officially announced the departure of analyst Xiaobai: After friendly communication, RNG League of Legends branch analyst Xiaobai left the team, coach Xiaobai is serious and responsible, conscientiously studying tactics, we thank coach Xiaobai for his efforts, I wish you all the best in the future, a bright future!
Angel, who sat in the middle of RNG, also left the team, and the club official blog wrote: After the friendly communication between the team and the players, Angel officially left the team in the RNG League of Legends division, after joining RNG, Angel players trained hard and grew with the team, thank you Angel for your efforts and efforts, and hope you have better development in the future, and finally thank the fans for their support of the RNG team and Angel.
Saying goodbye to RNG, Angel responded to fans late at night: I'm sorry everyone, my performance in the spring race was not ideal, and I have now terminated my contract with RNG amicably, my mental state is not very good recently, although I did not perform well on the field, but I really trained hard, and I felt that I lacked some ability. There are many sad times this spring, but there are also happy times, such as that night (winning WBG), and then I will start the live broadcast, communicate with everyone in the live broadcast room, let me adjust my condition, and if I feel that I can still play and have the right team, I will continue to play in the LPL summer tournament.
Although Angel did not perform well on the field, but the experience of the competition far exceeded that of the youngster Tangyuan, and RNG's abandonment of Angel meant that the club wanted to strengthen the midfield. Looking at the comment area, it is expected to make a comeback, and there are many singles players who have returned to the LPL top league, including LOL world champion Doinb, Cryin, Xi Ye, etc., some fans wondered: It will not be in the end, it is really RNG who signed Doinb.
As mentioned earlier, RNG used to be the top first-line team in the LPL division, but in the 2023 LPL Spring Game, RNG Nakanosuke's linkage efficiency was low, and there were frequent on-the-spot decision-making errors, and it was difficult to fall into disadvantages in the pre-mid-game many times, and it was reasonable to suffer setbacks in the playoffs. Fortunately, RNG still has a chance to counterattack, as long as the lineup is strengthened during the transfer period, RNG still has a chance to step into the 2023LOL Global Finals, and who can join RNG through the transfer period, the answer is about to be revealed.
