A deliberately spoiler about FPX Nuguri deal from Doinb?
Recently, Riot Games Korea has firmly decided to end the incident by blocking several League accounts that have international IPs due to the extreme impact of some Chinese dealers who have put Faker and other players on the Korean server into illegal betting sites.
With the goal of “better to ban them all, than to let one escape,” the accounts of the pro LPL player, including Doinb, are also banned. Riot, of course, fixed the problem by giving Doinb another account shortly afterward, which meant he would have to pick another nickname for the Korean server account.
After a moment of consideration, Doinb surprised fans by choosing to name… “d0gur1.” Fans are not hard to recognize that this is a combination of Doinb and Nuguri. When being asked, Doinb said bluntly, “Putting a name like this so that everyone who looks at it will immediately know this is Doinb’s account.”
Given the fact that Doinb likes to play around, FPX fans have put forward a theory. Doinb has rarely interacted with Nuguri, so why is he now naming his account related to the former top laner of DAMWON Gaming? In addition, this is a relatively sensitive time, considering that many rumors surrounding Nuguri are expecting to play in the LPL. Is it true that Doinb indirectly indicates that he’s about to become a Nuguri teammate?
In fact, FunPlus Phoenix is the most likely team to own Nuguri. The former Worlds 2019 champion has just parted ways with both its top laners, Khan and GimGoon, while this team is also well-known for its “hobby” of paying record-high wages to players.
As for Nuguri, the Worlds 2020 champion is rumored to join the LPL regions with “the second-highest salary among the pro players, just after Faker.” With the current situation, it could only be FPX left to most likely have a chance of owning a Korean superstar for their team.
