Recently, as the World Championship (CKTG) 2022 takes a break following the intense matches of the Quarterfinals, the information surrounding the transfer market has garnered significant attention from fans. As always, the LPL region remains the most lively, even though the new season has yet to begin. Currently, JDG is the only representative from the LPL at the CKTG 2022, while the eliminated teams are all incredibly formidable, such as RNG, EDG, and TES.
Fans are certainly looking forward to seeing giants like RNG, EDG, or TES make moves to prepare for the new season after an unexpected CKTG. However, according to some information circulating in the LPL community recently, the team making the most noise is none other than Bilibili Gaming – the rising giant in the Chinese LoL scene.
Not only recently but since the beginning of the 2022 season, BLG has always intended to build a star-studded roster in the LPL. Beyond branding, this team genuinely aspires to become the “ruler” of the LPL. As one of the largest media conglomerates in China, BLG has yet to achieve success in investing in LoL. Therefore, the management of this team wants to create a “galaxy” lineup to realize their ambitions.
However, in the 2022 season, BLG saw no improvement. They brought in some fresh names like Doggo, Breathe, Uzi (in Spring), and Bin (in Summer after a player trade with RNG), yet their results remained a complete zero. But that hasn’t deterred this team, and even though the 2022 season isn’t over, BLG is already stirring up new transfer deals.
According to some fan reports from the LPL, BLG is eyeing other notable players for the Mid Lane position for the 2023 season. Two World Championship winners, Doinb and Rookie, have been added to the list. Both are talented players but did not have a satisfactory 2022 season and neither could participate in the ongoing CKTG 2022 being held in the USA.
The other name is a young player with immense potential who is currently shining at CKTG 2022 – Zeka from DRX. In the victory against EDG in the Quarterfinals, Zeka had a stellar performance and played a significant role in the “Blue Dragon” comeback. Notably, in game five, Zeka achieved four consecutive solo kills against Scout, the veteran on EDG’s side.
However, everything is still at the rumor stage. BLG, along with the players and their parent teams, have not made any statements regarding this information. Moreover, in the LPL, there are salary caps to limit teams from offering unrealistic benefits to lure stars. Nevertheless, BLG will certainly not accept another season without a title, especially as they are one of the “big players” in the LPL.
