League of Legends: Major upheaval in the LPL region, world runner-up jungler demoted, veteran transitioning to support or coaching roles.

During the transfer window, the LPL region was in an uproar, mainly because the transfer rules were changed from mutual selection to auction. Many veteran players were dissatisfied with their salaries being suppressed to a great extent, so they took advantage of the off-season to join forces with several veteran players to "tank" and not participate in the first stage of next year's competition as a silent protest. All of them are quite well-known, and the organizers are afraid that the ratings will drop sharply. Some fans are also unhappy that they are acting like divas despite not achieving any results.

This auction was clearly an attempt to suppress veteran players, a risky move. At least the newcomers had a chance to play and show their skills in the new season. The LPL region has not made any breakthroughs for many years, stopping at the top 16 or top 8. LCK Korean players are no match for them. Perhaps they have had enough of the veterans' laziness and decided to punish them. One auction has made many players free agents or even unemployed.

Weiwei was kicked out after her contract expired.

Just like the LNG team, who dropped a bombshell on social media, announcing Weiwei's official departure from the team. You know, this player once won the title of world runner-up jungler, so why was he looked down upon by fans and why did the club demote him without hesitation? The reason is the so-called "point-stealing". Some netizens described him as "LPL's biggest salary thief". He used to team up with top players like TheShy and Xiaohu to get a runner-up finish in the S13 season.

He tried to be poached, but his true colors were revealed after a year; he was all show and no substance. He was then relegated to the bench and sidelined for two years. When his contract expired in 2025, he was let go. Of course, the post he posted was still well-written, giving him a way out: thanking him for being a key player in 2023, controlling the pace in 2024, and transforming his individual strength into team synergy in 2025. After losing his job, he'll probably be unwanted and become a free agent, but he's already received the agreed-upon salary, meaning he'll still be financially independent even if he doesn't play professionally.

Sofm invited to make a comeback, coach transitions to support role.

The situation isn't great, but some players are going against the tide, not minding switching to other positions. Take the MVKE team, for example. Coach Sofm will be returning to the competition as a support player in the new season. At 27 years old, his sudden change of position is unexpected. Some speculate that the league invited him to return. He has a great reputation in the Vietnamese region, and the audience is quite optimistic about this team. His return brings new hope. As long as MVKE works harder, they might be able to secure a spot in the international competition.
