Former World Champion Appears After Relationship Turmoil, Causing Outrage in the LPL Community
As we know, before the First Stand 2026 began, the League of Legends community was abuzz when former World Champion 2018 Rookie and female MC Hilda officially announced their breakup. Many expressed regret, as this was one of the most beautiful couples in the Chinese League of Legends scene and the world at large. There were even rumors that the two had secretly married and Rookie would become part of the LPL family. However, the subsequent events and Rookie’s recent images have left many surprised and even outraged.
Accordingly, the LPL community discovered that Rookie quickly started dating someone new and appeared quite happy and carefree while shopping. Previously, some sources from the LPL had questioned whether Rookie already had a third party before he and Hilda announced their split. However, since the exact timing of their breakup was unclear, suspicions of Rookie’s infidelity gradually faded. But with the recent images surfacing, the outrage has intensified.
Notably, prior to this, the visibly haggard and drained images of the well-known MC from the first generation of the LPL had left fans feeling incredibly sympathetic. Even during streams or live events, she seemed to neglect her appearance. Moreover, Hilda even stumbled over her words – something that had been extremely rare throughout her career. Naturally, keywords related to Rookie shot straight to the top 2 of Weibo’s hot search rankings on the afternoon of April 6 (Vietnam time).
– He seems to be having a good time, huh? What about our Hilda?
– This guy is truly unbearable.
– It hasn’t even been a month since they officially announced their breakup, and it turns out nearly 10 years of youth amounts to this.
Former World Champion May Soon Retire
Given the current situation, coupled with Rookie’s aging and recent lackluster performances, it’s quite possible that the former World Champion will end his journey this season. Especially since IG will likely struggle to replicate last year’s achievements, as Rookie alone cannot carry the team.
