The development of the e-sports industry has exploded in recent years, and the public attention has become higher and higher, and it has gradually been recognized by the mainstream. In this context, a large number of excellent professional players have emerged. Due to the particularity of the e-sports industry, most of the professional players eat youth meals, often have short careers, and with the growth of age and the problem of injury, they have to choose to retire and leave the field.
Among the retired players, some people cling to their dreams, are unwilling to give up, and are still active in other ways, such as PDD and Wakakaze. There are also people who have retired to do understanding and live broadcasting, and have also achieved certain success, representing players such as Shen Chao, white55 kai. Some rely on their unique understanding of the game and experience in the way, transformation coaches, such as the familiar RNG coach Heart, who was once an auxiliary player of SSB.
However, there are also some players who have gradually faded out of people's sight after retiring, and they still don't know where to go. Today, we will take stock of the retired players whose status quo is relatively dismal.

1. IG-illusion Chen Xinlin (nicknamed Shadow)
In the S2 period, IG's single PDD, playing wild shadow, medium single posture, AD child, auxiliary laughter is the youth of many old players. However, judging from the later development, Shadow is the most miserable compared to the other four people. Later, he was sent to the secondary league YG team, and was forced to relegate to the TGA due to poor results, and finally chose to retire.
After retiring from the army, Shadow was introverted and not suitable for live broadcasting, and it is said that he returned home to run a hair salon and focused on his barbershop business, and has since stayed away from the League of Legends, but he has also fallen into a relaxed and relaxed place.

2. RYL-Lucky Liu Junjie
When it comes to royal Lucky, everyone will think of the second generation of the pot back man. As a royal fighter, he is the most inconspicuous player in the team. S3 won the world runner-up royal family facing disintegration, Shen Chao went to North America, White and Tabe retired, under great pressure, Lucky also chose to leave the arena and declare his retirement.
After retiring, Lucky tried to be a coach, but without success. Later, although it was broadcast live in Douyu, because its popularity was not high, its popularity was dismal, and the live broadcast effect was not good, it had to find another way. However, according to online rumors, Lucky's girlfriend is a rich second generation, who often invites teammates to dinner at the royal base, and after stopping broadcasting last year, it has disappeared since then.

3. EDG-Namei Zhu Jiawen
In 2014, the EDG team played ten domestic matches, ten finals, eight championships and two Asian championships, with impressive results, the LPL League legendary two consecutive championships, AD position Nami is known as the "world's first ADC". However, in the S4 finals, EDG stopped in the quarterfinals. After returning to China, Nami and EDG did not renew their contracts, although they later joined the royal family, but they did not get more opportunities to play, and eventually left.
After retiring, Nami also started live broadcasting with the current, but later stopped. Some netizens said that when Deyunse was live-streamed recently, he mentioned that the last time he saw him was to borrow money, it can be seen that Nami is in a difficult situation, which makes people sigh.

4. OMG-Gogoing Highland Flat (Big Brother)
Big brother as a representative of the domestic single, in the dark forces OMG strong rise, and then in the S4 finals to play a bright, 3:0 elimination of the Korean team, once by the fist official called "the light of the single", but after returning to China, the state fell sharply, was jokingly called "carousel" by netizens.
After retiring, he started live broadcasting in Battle Flag, which was initially hot, but later due to the poor effect of live broadcasting, fierce competition, and gradually retired. In addition to live broadcasting, I also tried to transform the competition guests and commentary, and they were not tepid. However, last year, Big Brother hinted at returning to the LPL, which really made many old fans look forward to it, but today there is no follow-up news, and it is not over.

5. OMG-pomelo grapefruit (Ouyang Wei)
Former OMG fights wild, the original back pot Wang Yuzu was also a member of the old OMG Tiger General, fighting side by side with the big brother, winning 17 consecutive victories. However, in the 2014 All-Star, Yuzu 4-level Panson Field single-handedly picked out the level 6 mantis, became the target of public criticism, was ridiculed and insulted by many netizens, and finally retired.
After retiring, Yuzu also tried to retreat behind the scenes as a coach, worked as an interview reporter, set up a self-media to do some videos, and also tried to transform the explanation, but the effect was not obvious. Recently, I have also responded on Weibo that I have nothing to do, work as an otaku at home, rarely go out, eat and sleep and play games. He also mentioned that he had a lonely personality and did not want to do live broadcasting. Overall, I am more confused, I don't know where my future direction is, I hope he will find his goal as soon as possible!
Objectively speaking, there are not many professional players like PDD and Ruofeng who have successfully transformed after retirement, and most of the professional players in e-sports have been engaged in different fields of work in this circle after retirement, and everyone has maintained inextricable ties with the game. Under the pressure of the extremely high rate of competition and elimination, only a small number of people can climb to the top of the industry pyramid, and most of them have become stepping stones and cannon fodder.
