A superstar player who once dominated the LPL recently announced his retirement.

An LPL superstar announced his retirement but the move was "unprecedented"

During the transfer window at the end of each season, besides deals being signed or squads being finalized, there are also players who will end their playing careers for different reasons. The transfer window at the end of the 2024 season is no exception and recently, a one-time LPL superstar officially announced his retirement, which is Yagao - JD Gaming's Mid Laner.

Yagao officially announced his retirement

However, Yagao's farewell to professional League of Legends was predicted, so his announcement and subsequent plans surprised many people. Specifically, Yagao said he not only said goodbye to his professional career, but left League of Legends completely. This player will end all connections with the game that helped him become famous and live a normal life.

He also said that he will completely leave the League of Legends industry and will not touch anything related to the game but will enjoy a normal life.

This is a decision that is considered contrary to common sense. Because, Yagao also has good results when competing. And he has not been involved in any major dramas or scandals like previous cases of completely leaving League of Legends. Therefore, many viewers also expressed surprise at this decision of the player born in 1998.

But there are also opinions that admit that this is true of Yagao's personality. When he was playing, he was always considered a "relaxed" player. The former JDG and BLG star always has a calm attitude whether the team wins or loses. It could even be said that he sees League of Legends as both a career and a pure game.

Some of the audience were surprised, but some also understood that that was Yagao's personality

The intention of the LPL superstar is probably also the wish of many players
Not only Yagao, perhaps many professional League of Legends players also want to be able to live a relaxing life after retirement. And many cases have actually been able to do like LPL superstars. The only thing is, many of these people later returned to professional League of Legends in different roles.

Perhaps many LPL players also wish to have a post-competition life like Yagao

No one knows whether Yagao can completely quit League of Legends as he claims. But no matter what, Yagao's achievements as well as his position have been firmly established in the history of League of Legends.
