During the recent offseason transfer window of the 2021 season, Bilibili Gaming was one of the biggest spenders in the LPL Spring 2022. Aside from the failed deal due to LPL’s organizers accusing them of colluding with Knight, BLG has acquired many top players, such as Breathe, Doggo, and Crisp. Notably, among the new signings of BLG is Uzi, the legendary “Super Marksman” of the LPL.
However, despite the hopes of LPL fans, Uzi has hardly seen any gameplay. The only time Uzi was seen playing was in games 2 and 3 against Invictus Gaming. Although the “Super Marksman” performed decently, BLG still had to accept defeat. Since that game, regardless of whether the opponents were tough or easy, Uzi has not stepped onto the stage again.
Recently, LPL fans found evidence suggesting that Uzi is increasingly becoming “redundant” at BLG. Specifically, in a documentary clip from BLG, members were seen huddled in a distant corner, and judging by the focused expressions on some faces, it seemed they were discussing something. However, Uzi was seen engrossed in his computer, completely oblivious to what was happening behind him.
In reality, Uzi’s ranked performance is not bad at all. Recently, he used Ezreal to carry his team quite smoothly. However, according to many dedicated fans who frequently follow Uzi, it seems that even though he is still at the BLG gaming house, Uzi is merely “playing by himself.” The fact that Uzi hasn’t been fielded could also imply that he is not practicing with BLG.
If this is true, it could be said that Uzi’s decision to make a comeback up to this point has been a complete mistake. Not only has he been unable to reach the glory he desired, but Uzi may now just be “coasting along” at BLG. Moreover, the recruitment of Uzi while sidelining the “Super Marksman” of the LPL is causing BLG not only to fail in building an image but also to face backlash. It can be said that this deal is currently a mistake for both Uzi and BLG, and the two games against IG might also be the last two games of Uzi’s professional League of Legends career.
