No one can deny that FunPlus Phoenix and the LPL as a whole have had a terrible world championship season. The LPL has just EDward Gaming to cling on to until the semi-finals, while the LCK has three representatives remaining, after Royal Never Give Up was knocked out in a “civil war” between EDG, FPX, and LNG Esports have been on the ground since the group stage.
Of course, FPX will have to reform everything, and this isn’t really breaking news, especially after Worlds 2021 when FPX’s internal issues were exposed.
Gimgoon confirmed that Tian has had to compress the pain of playing since the young player Bo was sentenced to sell out. Meanwhile, Nuguri was even rumored to be leaving the LPL shortly after being empty-handed in the Spring Season.
Recently, on Weibo, once again, the situation of FPX made the Chinese social media community “shocked”. According to a post on Chinese social media, the team has permitted not just Nuguri or Tian, but also Doinb to contact other teams.
FPX Doinb is 26 years old now and has only a few years left as a professional player. As a result, it may make sense for Doinb to depart FPX if he wants to seek fame one final time before retiring.
In addition, the article stated that Nuguri had been approached by an LCK team, but did not specify which. The post’s creator also said that Lwx and Crisp might be contacted for transfer.
Meanwhile, Tian just erased all of his avatars and cover photos from his personal page, as well as all of his postings dating back to the beginning of summer 2021. Fans of FPX are very concerned about Tian’s mental health, especially after drawing so much criticism from his performance in Iceland.
In the worst-case scenario, FPX will reassemble the whole team, with all of the members that won the 2019 World Championship departing.
