The important victory for the former Worlds King is “double -edged sword”
One of the most interested information in recent days is the drama between Scout and the old team Edward Gaming. The troublesome complaints surrounding this story caused LNG Esports to be “contagious” when the “Unicorn Suzhou” now had to urgently find the person to replace Scout in the event that the former World Championship did not remove the request for banning Scout abroad. According to some information from the databases of League of Legends, LNG probably chose Yagao – the mid lane is wearing JD Gaming.
There are information that LNG is almost completed to borrow Yagao to replace scout at Worlds 2024
But this decision of LNG has been making two former World Worlds Kings, which is mentioned a lot. First, it was Rookie – the mid lane wearing Ninjas in Pyjamas and former World Championship 2018. The other is Ruler – JDG gunner and a teammate of Yagao, former World Worlds 2017.
Rookie is a case of regret when Yagao was selected
In the case of Rookie, it was really “sorrowful” when his most important match at Playoffs LPL Summer 2024 “backfired”. Because, although it was later lost and had to fall into the regional qualifying round, but Rookie's Nip “promptly” ended the season at 5-6 final. And because of this, Rookie is not eligible to be selected. Meanwhile, JDG has reached the final of the regional qualifier, but only ends at 7-8 final. And Yagao, because of that, meets the conditions of Riot.
“The most interesting thing about LNG Yagao and Rookie was not chosen because Rookie won JDG 3-2 (at the Playoffs). If JDG won 3-2, Rookie would be valid and Yagao would not”
The end of the season in the top 6 position makes Rookie lose the chance to be chosen to replace Scout
Another former King of Worlds will probably be extremely regretful
In the final of the Weibo Gaming clash, Ruler was the best player and how hard he found him. Worth mentioning, in that match, the two players played somewhat below strength, even the worst team, Yagao and Kanavi. JDG's mid -forest pair at that time could not do anything special before Tarzan – Xiaohu. And when Yagao was chosen, many names mentioned Ruler as regret for the irony of fate for him.
Ruler has also made great efforts in the regional qualifying match against WBG but also could not help JDG to Worlds 2024
Many viewers also regret for the Ruler
But anyway, Riot and LNG are merely following the law and the choice of Yagao is also reluctant for LNG. The regret is probably only for Ruler and Rookie when they also made efforts on their journey, but had to “force the mind”.
