Having just left the LPL, the former World Championship king had an action that was considered "over the bridge".
The sensitive speech of the former World Championship champion
During the transfer period at the end of 2024, not only LCK or VCS but LPL also witnessed many separations. For example, JD Gaming almost reformed the entire roster and they parted ways with the Korean star pair: Kanavi - Ruler. However, former World Championship 2017 king - Ruler recently made statements that made LPL fans extremely uncomfortable.
As soon as Ruler left the LPL, he immediately made sensitive statements about Chinese League of Legends
"In a foreign country, there are really many difficulties. Such as the language barrier, cultural differences and inconvenience in eating. When there is no match, I hardly do anything, just staying in the room. My time there (LPL) made me feel like I was on an isolated island. But I was still satisfied with what I did feel more relieved (to have left). is regret,” Ruler said.
Ruler's time at LPL can be said to be almost complete. However, 2024 is actually quite difficult for this player as well as JDG. They were left empty-handed on all fronts and JDG could not attend any international tournaments. Despite Ruler's efforts, the talented teammates around him have more or less lost their form compared to last season.
He commented that during his time at LPL, he was still not used to the environment, culture, and cuisine and felt like he was living in isolation
LPL audiences were upset with the former World Championship king's statement
Another audience member frankly said: "I can agree with him about the environment and language and culture. But talking about food as an issue is really too much." However, there are also many opinions expressing calmness because simply "Ruler is just a foreign soldier, can't ask for too much".
It's clear that Ruler may never return to the LPL again
However, perhaps Ruler himself has had full experience here. Returning to the LCK seems like this player will be able to finish his career right at home and the LPL and JDG are just a memory in Ruler's journey.
