The long path to glory for Chovy after a gloomy Season at HLE.
Recently, several reliable Chinese sources stated that the LPL is going to have a blockbuster transfer, with Invictus Gaming set to sign Chovy (a player presently playing for Hanwha Life Esports) for the goal of reforming following a complete failure in the 2021 season of League of Legends.
The information on the IG.Chovy transaction is based on data from a Korean server, especially the “strange” reaction of an insider to this information.
Ruler, Teddy, and Chovy were all on the same team at a recent rank match. Ruler shocked Chovy by talking and asking Teddy, “Hey, do you know who that mid-player is?” the mid lane from HLE answered with a Chinese greeting, “Nihao…”
Then there was Teddy “completed” with a deadly “spoil” in response to Ruler’s question: “Is there anything else to ask?” Our team’s mid lane is the best in China.”
Teddy and Ruler’s actions indicate that they are aware that Chovy is planning a significant career shift. After this season, he will most likely join an LPL team.
Furthermore, Wang Sicong, the CEO of Invictus Gaming, made an equally bizarre action while contributing to Beifeng, a renowned “one-champ Qiyana” streamer in China, for the sake of “taunting” and inviting this man “Do you dare to solo with Chovy’s Yone?”
Wang Sicong is said to be interested in him, and IG is said to be interested in him, which is entirely understandable given that Rookie is virtually certain to retire after this season, and IG is in desperate need of a new star to replace him.
Chovy, despite being regarded as one of the finest mid laners in the world, has never felt the thrill of a championship. Even in the LCK 2021 Summer, he struggled to “carry” Hanwha Life Esports and keep them from finishing last. Obviously, the current HLE is not a team worthy of his ability, and relocating to China, like previous colleagues Tarzan, Viper is a viable option if the mid laner from HLE wishes to advance in his career.
