Recently, the VCS English fan page sparked a rumor within the Vietnamese League of Legends community, stating that marksman Slayder has officially parted ways with Team Secret and is currently negotiating with several other teams in the VCS.
On the community wiki for League of Legends, the transfer information updated on September 4 also indicated that “Slayder has been removed from Team Secret’s roster.” Even in a post from VCS English, the player himself left a comment with many signs suggesting that his departure from TS is likely.
Not long ago, Slayder had contacted SofM to inquire about the possibility of playing in China in the future, and he is even willing to test his skills in the LDL, the second-tier tournament, to fulfill his dream of going abroad. Coincidentally, recently, the Chinese League of Legends tournament is preparing to undergo a comprehensive reform phase, implementing the government’s age restriction laws on gaming.
Specifically, both LDL and LPL have had to remove any players under 18 years old from their rosters, which could present a new opportunity for Slayder, as LDL will soon enter a phase of player scarcity and will need to hold large recruitment drives, since most teams in this league are primarily composed of young talents under 18. Therefore, LDL will prioritize free agents over 18, and Slayder is confident that he has the expertise to join this tournament in the near future.
However, it is also possible that Slayder may join another team in the VCS to realize his championship dreams.
