The new member of BLG seems to have had to pay a heavy price to find a new home.

Wei lost tens of billions to join BLG

On December 5, BLG officially confirmed its squad for the 2025 season. In addition to Xun's departure, names like Bin, Knight, Elk and On all remain with this team. . Besides, after being loaned from RNG for a period of time, Wei also officially joined BLG and became the team's official Jungler. This is considered an extremely strong squad that will help this team continue to dominate the LPL in the upcoming 2025 season.

The BLG squad in the 2025 season is highly appreciated

However, in Wei's case, the former MSI 2021 and 2022 king joining BLG is extremely complicated. It is important to know that this year's LPL organizers have a regulation that all teams that owe player salaries will not be able to buy or sell players during the transfer period. Meanwhile, RNG (Wei's former management team) owes a huge amount of salary and is unable to pay it before the transfer period ends. Therefore, players who are owed salary by RNG and want to go to another team have only two options: wait to be paid or accept the loss of all compensation money to leave immediately.

Wei had to pay a pretty high price to leave RNG

According to former RNG players, this is true and many retired players are still waiting to be repaid by this team. However, Wei chose the latter and accepted to lose 6 months of 2024 salary that RNG still owed so that he can quickly join BLG in the 2025 season. This number is estimated to be up to 3.5 million yuan (about 12.5 billion VND) and is considered an extremely expensive price for Wei.

A bright future awaits Wei at BLG after being freed from RNG

To be fair, Wei is completely justified in accepting the loss of such a large amount of money to quickly join BLG. It is important to know that after the MSI 2022 championship, RNG went downhill very quickly in terms of achievements and Wei should have left a long time ago. However, contract constraints did not allow that to happen and caused this player to waste a lot of time at RNG. Even after moving to BLG on loan in the second half of the 2024 season, Wei still showed that he is a top Jungler in the LPL.

Wei seems to receive extremely good treatment at BLG

After BLG's official roster was announced, they were rated as the top team in the LPL. Even when other names like TES or IG invested heavily in the last transfer window, the quality of the squad still proved to be inferior to BLG. Therefore, BLG's chances of winning the LPL title in the 2025 season are extremely high. Furthermore, the competition and training environment here is also considered very good and at least salary debt will not occur. For Wei, exchanging the 3.5 million yuan he may not have received for such great conditions is probably the best thing for this guy.
