With the official end of the 2021 LPL winter transfer period, there is finally an answer as to whether the eternal god Uzi will return. On December 15, 2021, the BLG officially announced the joining of Uzi at the new season players' meeting, which means that after a year and a half of retirement, Uzi officially announced his comeback.
About Uzi's comeback
I believe many people know that Uzi officially announced his retirement on June 3, 2020. According to the LPL, any professional player cannot come back without completing one year after official retirement. It is also this regulation that in June 2021, when Uzi has been retired for a year, the news about whether Uzi will come back has been boiling over. But because Uzi's contract with RNG doesn't end until December 2021, it led to Uzi's comeback coming back six months later than expected.
So, why did Uzi come back? From the current point of view, there are two key factors. The first is that Uzi has an unfinished dream in his career, the global finals champion, although Uzi is an old player, but after all, he is still young, in this case, Uzi feels that he can definitely rush again; the second, it is likely to be the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, as a former gold medalist, if Uzi can continue to play the former dominance in the new season, he actually has a relatively large possibility to represent the country again. So, either way, it's very tempting for Uzi.
Will Uzi be able to maintain a sufficient level of competition?
Although Uzi's comeback is something that makes many people happy, whether Uzi can play the dominant force in the LPL next is actually a question mark. After all, Uzi has been retired for a year and a half, and this gap of one and a half years is not something that can be made up by playing the usual ranking. Moreover, judging from the fierce competition of the LPL in the last two seasons, the teams that have participated in the global finals for two consecutive seasons are not repeated, which is enough to prove that the competition in the LPL is becoming more and more fierce. That is to say, even if Uzi can still maintain the competitive level of the 2019 season, his influence on the next road will still be greatly challenged. What's more, the new season Uzi is Liu Qingsong's new partner, not to mention how tacit the two of them will be, and now the ADC position wants to be very difficult in the official game Ofory.
About the creation of the BLG Full Concentration Class
During the 2021 LPL winter transfer period, there was news on the Internet that BLG intended to create a full-concentration class. However, from the current BRG lineup, the single Breathe can be regarded as the "god" of the WE team in the 2021 season; the wild player WeiWei, although there are not too many highlight moments in the 2021 season, but at least he is very young and has a lot of room for growth; the single player FoFo, the "god" of the RA team in the 2021 season; the shooter Uzi, needless to say, is recognized as the god of the next road; and another ADC player, Doggo, In the 2021 Global Finals, he played a very wonderful performance, and can also be regarded as the "god" of the BYG team; the auxiliary player Liu Qingsong, currently recognized by the LPL as one of the three major assists. So, in a way, although the BLG has not been able to create a real all-purpose class, the current lineup is competitive enough in the LPL.
In the end, no matter how Uzi will perform in the new season, his comeback is a respectable thing. "Veterans don't die, just wither", so what kind of performance can Uzi and BLG bring to us in the new season? Let's wait and see!
