RNG spent 30 million to buy him, and he won the championship when he first came, and now he can't play the game
We talked about Qingtian a few days ago, and there is one player who is very similar to Qingtian, but the situation is even better, and that is XLB. Qingtian can at least play LDL and have a chance to return to LPL. But XLB has already announced that it will retire from the professional arena and switch to live streaming.
XLB announced its retirement
XLB posted: "When I first arrived at RNG and won the German Cup, I really thought I was a child of destiny. Later, when I arrived in the LPL, I realized that I had a lot of shortcomings, and I always felt that my starting point was too high, and it was unfair to my strength, and I was scolded for a little mistake. After a few years as a substitute, I was really sad that I didn't play!, for me, in V5, it was probably the last time I could play. It's a pity that I didn't grasp it, and then I became a substitute in the back, and I slowly lost my confidence, and I always felt that it was time for me to end. ”
Two former clubs, RNG and NIP, as well as friends Langx, Zhuo and Xiran, all came to cheer on XLB.
"Thought I was the Child of Destiny"
Before XLB officially played LPL, he participated in the official variety show "Beyond the Hero", won the championship with star Zhang Binbin and popular anchor Da Sima, and won the MVP of the year.
XLB is also produced by PDD's YM, and eventually joined the LPL giant RNG team. XLB did not disappoint RNG, and helped the team win the 2019 Demacia Cup when they first arrived.
Well-known commentator Ze Yuan praised XLB, making RNG no longer need Karsa. (Although Karsa has also become a pizza now, Karsa was the top jungler in the LPL at that time.) ）
It is rumored on the Internet that the XLB transfer fee is as high as 30 million, although this probability is false, but the transfer fee is indeed not low, PDD once sent a barrage and said: "XLB is really not a loss, Lao Tzu is letting RNG's blood." ”
XLB's real name is also very domineering, called Bruce Lee, the same name as the greatest Chinese kung fu superstar. XLB has also taken makeup photos that imitate Bruce Lee.
With a heavy aura, coupled with the fact that YM's Ning and Tian are both world champions FMVP, XLB said that he thought he was a child of destiny at first, and he really didn't brag about it.
"It's hard to feel that I didn't play it"
Unfortunately, there are many who are called "geniuses", but very few end up being "successful". XLB didn't go well in LPL and didn't play in RNG. RNG gives XLB a chance to put it in the second team for workouts, but XLB can't control Thunderbolt even in the LDL. Later, XLB transferred to V5 (later renamed NIP), and still played sometimes and sometimes substituted, but this year he was completely defeated in the competition with Shadow and completely lost the opportunity to play.
In fact, XLB is very powerful in playing Rank, and it is a king with more than 1,000 points all year round, and the winning rate is more than 60%.
Friends who have watched XLB's live broadcast also say that XLB Rank is very C.
But if you watch more games, you will know that the Rank score is not completely positively correlated with the performance of the field, some people have a low Rank score, but the game is very C, and some people have a high Rank score, but the game is average. Maybe it has something to do with the mentality, everyone is relaxed when playing Rank, but when playing a game, only the strong can withstand the pressure.
XLB outlook
However, what is better than Qingtian is that XLB is quite suitable for live broadcasting. XLB played in the LPL for several years and accumulated a certain popularity. XLB has a good image and a lively personality, as a Cantonese person, he is naturally good at singing Cantonese songs. XLB live broadcast played Rank, and he went to the field he was familiar with, and he was able to play well and play a very good operation. If RNG misses the old love and gives it a boost, XLB live broadcast will inevitably earn more than playing professionally.
Everyone has a field that they are good at, and not everyone can make great achievements in their careers, make achievements, and win several championships in a row. It is also a good strategy to recognize the cruel truth, retreat bravely from the rapids, and find a path that suits you as soon as possible.
