During the Spring 2022 LPL, one of the most notable comebacks was Uzi as he decided to join Bilibili Gaming in an effort to return to professional League of Legends. However, the path of the former “Super Marksman” was not truly smooth. BLG seemed to only want to leverage Uzi’s brand image. Moreover, he was almost never allowed to play or only took to the field in matches that were nearly already decided. By the end of the season, just as BLG made it to the playoffs, Uzi was announced to take a break until the end of Spring.
Recently, the LPL community has been buzzing with news that the legendary Uzi will switch to JD Gaming in the upcoming Summer season. This information has been confirmed by several media outlets within the LPL. However, it is very likely that this will remain just speculation. This is because JDG currently has a quality Marksman in Hope, who notably performed very well in the previous Spring.
However, Uzi certainly does not want to join any team whose recruitment purpose is merely to exploit his image. After all, in this comeback, Uzi’s goal is to play and have the chance to compete for titles. Therefore, if any deal involves the legend of Royal Never Give Up, the first condition must be that the team ensures Uzi’s playing time. This would force him to compete for the position with Hope.
Meanwhile, the international LoL community is also showing great interest in this potential deal. Many believe that if Uzi joins JDG, they hope that Weibo Gaming will take an interest in Hope. This is because the JDG player has performed well, and he especially has a fairly “clean” off-stage life. Meanwhile, Huanfeng has continuously been involved in major scandals, especially after being accused of abuse by an ex-girlfriend, as well as joking about drugging teammates recently.
But for now, all of this remains at the level of rumors. In fact, in a recent development, 957 – a former star of Team WE and now a commentator, has denied the rumors. The LoL community may have to wait a little longer to get final information about the future destination (if any) of the legend Uzi as well as other players involved in this deal.
