The pre-season transfer market for 2020 has long since closed, but the saga of Zeros remains a mystery. According to Coach Tinikun, Zeros was supposed to join the LPL league, but when all the Chinese teams revealed their rosters, the name Zeros was nowhere to be found.
People waited, waited some more, but Zeros suddenly disappeared from the professional scene in a puzzling manner.
All that fans know is that he is currently in Vietnam, and many theories suggest that Zeros’ plans to go abroad have fallen through. He is not listed on any team roster in the LPL. Furthermore, given the pandemic situation in China, it is understandable that Zeros changed his plans and did not join this tournament.
Returning to Zeros’ future, recently, Coach Tinikun, as usual, teased fans with a post about being friends with the Demon King. As we know, this coach doesn’t say anything without deeper meaning.
With the LPL indefinitely postponed, Zeros might be one of the lucky ones who hasn’t signed with any Chinese team, allowing him to return to GAM Esports during the upcoming mid-season transfer window. In a private group for his fans, Coach Tinikun also posted a status hinting at the “comeback” of the Demon King, stating: GAM Zeros.
Currently, the top lane position of GAM is held by Kiaya, who is doing very well in the role left by Zeros. If Zeros returns, GAM’s roster will continue to change, but this could be seen as a positive signal if GAM wants to strengthen their lineup for the upcoming international tournaments. Moreover, returning to GAM would help Zeros avoid stagnation due to a long break from competition.
However, for VCS fans, this might be a sad story; a GAM without Zeros was already strong enough, and now with the Demon King returning, the other teams will likely only aim for the runner-up title.
