BLG is claimed to be taking in knight for their midlane, while JDG will return with yagao (confirmed in post)
This chinese post talks about the transfer as well as re-signing XUN and ELK,
Should be an upgrade for blg while retaining their all-chinese roster. Yagao is returning to JDG which is original team before knight.
We know the backgrounds of these two players from the same hometown since they were young, will yagao get to finally win against knight again after all these years? Biggest midlane rivals in LPL
What yall think?
From my POV as an LCK-only viewer (but follows Reddit threads on LPL), it just feels like
Knight = Chinese Chovy. Domestic dominance, but has had disappointing Worlds performances.
Yagao = Chinese BDD. Always in the top 3-5 and relatively consistent in performance. Constantly underrated, but also never really looks like the superstar in a team.
Rookie = Chinese Faker. Many regard him as the second GOAT after Faker (at least in the mid lane). Has been good no matter which team he’s on even when elohelled.
DoinB = Chinese Showmaker. Probably weakest comparison…but both are highly respected, vocal, and most importantly, very funny.
