Recently, as the VCS Spring 2020 is nearing its end and GAM Esports remains the top contender for the championship, Coach Tinikun has been busy with another task. It seems that in his final season as a member of GAM’s coaching staff (he has announced his departure from GAM after the spring tournament), Tinikun is actively seeking opportunities for the young talents of this team to join larger teams at higher-level professional League of Legends tournaments.
Recently, Coach Tinikun posted a status hinting at Dia1’s “overseas” move, mentioning that he asked this player to learn Chinese, while also sharing a screenshot of a message introducing Dia1 to a foreign team.
Meanwhile, Dia1 himself has been frequently duo ranking with a player nicknamed Wang Jun Kai, believed to be owned by a professional League of Legends player in China.
It appears that Coach Tinikun is quite eager for the young talents in GAM Esports to have opportunities to compete and showcase their skills at world-class tournaments. Even without revealing anything specific, from Dia1’s stream, the player Wang Jun Kai suddenly mentioned that there is news about Zeros possibly transferring to LGD Gaming.
Thus, in the best-case scenario, we might witness two young stars, Zeros and Dia1, joining the LPL in the summer of 2021. Of course, the chances of them both landing at LGD Gaming are slim, as this team currently has enough foreign players, and Tinikun surely wouldn’t encourage his students to join a team just to be a reserve.
