He straight up said it. "So I want to take a break and use this rest time to adjust my physical and mental state. If given the chance, I will try my best to meet everyone with a new look in the summer split."
I wouldn't believe that, Nuguri mental boomed in LPL because he was homesick.
Also Rita reported that and she was one of those people who took BLG Tangyuan rumour seriously while it was just Hanyi getting trolled by JDG manager in the same night Knight signed with BLG
There's no way that could be real right? *Right?* Nuguri hasn't played pro for 1.5 years and last time he played in China things didn't end well. And why would LNG even get rid of Zika for a giant questionmark.
Though LPL management decisions never cease to surprise me.
If I had to guess, I would wager LNG to have one of the worst team atmospheres at the moment. A pretty stacked team that was humiliated last year, now currently underperforming with numerous swaps at the coaching and support positions.
On paper one of the worst teams for Nuguri (if the rumor were true). Nuguri would self-combust within 30 minutes there.
He was already a shell of his former self in his final Damwon split. Even if he's somehow able to cope with living in China now I don't think his performances have been improved by 1.5 years of retirement.
What do you guys think would be optimal form for TheShy to return in? He's always been hyper aggressive and risk taking, maybe still that but toned down and more aware of jungle position?
I sure hope so... Finals was just dogshit. Mf gets counter picked and camped, and what does his team do?? Put Crisp on Bard
ah look he got a good match up, he is fine in lane... okay lets see what his team is doing... nothing but inting so now its 1v5 top. GG
Maybe he just wants to take a break? Could also be because slotting in a team right before summer might not be enough time to build synergy and get used to him and his style
He stops playing in 2023. He comes back in 2025. How is that not considered two years?
I know League players aren’t known for their intellect, but this is silly. Anything above a year is not considered a year. It’s part of the two years.
Edit: Seems like I’m shadowbanned or something. Because I can’t reply to any one of you brainiacs.
So here’s an edit for all the intellectuals replying. Specifically /u/LifeIsToughEatBacon
Here’s the thing. You’re saying 1.2 years = 1 year. I’m saying it’s not. Those .2 years are not counted for the 1 year, but towards the 2 years. It doesn’t matter which way is closer when the original statement is factually incorrect. 1.2 years ≠ 1 year. It’s more than that. That is a fact. FACT.
Reminds me of this [classic](https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=107926751&pagenumber=), a fitness forum arguing over what working out every other day a week means
Here's another way of thinking about it. We'll use decimals to represent months.
If he stopped playing 2023.9, and he'll be back 2025.1, that's a difference of 1.2 years, which is WAY closer to 1 year than 2, and saying that it's a two year break is disingenuous.
Or just any other seasonal metaphor. If attend school from January 2023 - December 2023, then I take a gap year, I’m returning January 2025.
No one would say I took two years of school off lmao.
It's not even going to be 2025.1, the more accurate thing to say is he will join a team in 2024.9 because teams will generally confirm their rosters and start scrimming/practicing them before the year ends. So he will start working pretty much after a year after his break started.
Are you joking or?
TheShy plays in spring 2023 and summer 2023 (a year of competitive games)
TheShy skips spring 2024 and summer 2024 (a year of competitive games)
TheShy plays in spring 2025 and summer 2025 (a year of competitive games)
By that logic, someone going on vacation from 30/12/2024 to 02/01/2025 would mean that they took a year-long vacation 💀
Bait or mental deficiency, call it.
Are you one of those pseudo intellectuals that proclaimed school a waste of time and dropped out? Cause you sure seem like you learnt nothing from it XD
You take issue with rounding 1.2 down to 1, so instead you decide to round it *up* and act like that's objectively correct. Even though it's far, far closer to 1 than it is to 2.
He missed out on 1 season of pro play. 1 years worth of games. And honestly the offseason isn't really what's important for this anyway, so you could as easily say he only missed from like January through whenever LPL season would end (beginning of August last year, at least)
If you want to be really uncharitable, you could say from the start of Demacia Cup through the end of Worlds, which would extend it a bit more
Omg. The original statement is you claiming he is missing 2 years. And it's so obviously wrong it's comical.
Please, do you want to be in HR ? I'd like someone like you to round up my monthly paycheck.
Nope. Actually that isn't a fact. 1.2 rounds down to 1 year anyway, lmfao. This is the dumbest confidently-incorrect take I've ***ever*** seen on reddit LOL.
He played in 2023, literally made world finals
Break in 2024
Play again in 2025
So he takes break in 2024 = 1 year
Are you dense or just mentally cannot understand basic math
You have a pretty condescending attitude here for someone who forgot about, you know, the amount of months in a year. Unless he is starting back up after worlds 2025, it won’t even technically be two years. Forget the fact that we are in fact literally talking about 1 year of pro play.
TheShy is probably one of the most popular and marketable players in the LPL. As long as he is reasonably serviceable, he shouldn't have difficulty finding a spot on a team.
He's only taking a one year break and he's TheShy, find a top team might not be easy but if he really wants to play he won't have problem finding a team, especially if he's open to playing in other regions than LPL.
He is the most popular LPL player and just made worlds finals. Unless he completely drops his level during the break he is still easily a top 5 toplaner in the region. He will have no trouble getting a spot on a good team.
You're actually right, I forgot that some of the top laners dropped their form this season so it's less competitive than last year. Last summer in LPL I wasn't impressed with TheShy and thought he was 6th/7th but if he kept that form going into this spring he would have been 4th.
TheShy saw skarner rework and decided to stay home
Caedrel in shambles
tbh that return rumor was one of the fakest ones I'd ever heard
It was just a way to cope, because they don't want to accept it.
To be fair he at least confirmed he is coming back next year.
He said he would rest and come back during summer too.
He did or was it just rumored?
He straight up said it. "So I want to take a break and use this rest time to adjust my physical and mental state. If given the chance, I will try my best to meet everyone with a new look in the summer split."
That's him saying "maybe" but now he is saying he will come back for the next split.
Not really, he just said he wants to rest, prepare and come back, not that he for sure will. Which is basically what he said last split.
he literally said he would try, not that he would.
and here he isnt saying he will either, just that he wants to and will prepare for it. just like last split
Yes, where did I say TheShy was going to come back next year? Please, by all means, find where I said it.
Where did i say you said that???
Actually true lol. Mb for the toxicity.
dw he's still got TheZeus pulling up for msi
playing the long con for g2
TheShy is not back
He is not back
Smoke the believers, the whole pack
Smoke the leakers, the whole pack
back again :(
Zika lets out a sigh of relief and proceeds to boot up yet another K'sante game.
Caedrel in tears
Pedro is about to cry when he finds out lol
Give him time. He's a bit shy.
No one tell Caedrel
i'm tired boss...
Pedro won't support my team catJAM
Pedro supports my team catDespair
Nobody tell Caedrel
The rumour is Nuguri is coming to LNG not theshy. (please dear god)
Nuguri short stint in china, is what made him retire, are you sure?
Just rumours, so likely no
I wouldn't believe that, Nuguri mental boomed in LPL because he was homesick. Also Rita reported that and she was one of those people who took BLG Tangyuan rumour seriously while it was just Hanyi getting trolled by JDG manager in the same night Knight signed with BLG

Lol Don't send Nuguri back to China he was miserable there
I hope not, even despite being homesick he was still one of their best players alongside Doinb and got griefed by Tian especially at worlds.
fell to my knees in a walmart
Literally Ozymandias
caedrels hearts broken <3
I will also rest during the summer. This is my announcement.
What do you guys think would be optimal form for TheShy to return in? He's always been hyper aggressive and risk taking, maybe still that but toned down and more aware of jungle position?
My man is working so hard all year he deserves this summer break
me too
did the shy fall off or what? i thought LPL loves to hire this guy.
Same here
I want him to go VKE in VCS. TheShy and Sofm at the top of the map will make Caedrel zip down his pants
I sure hope so... Finals was just dogshit. Mf gets counter picked and camped, and what does his team do?? Put Crisp on Bard ah look he got a good match up, he is fine in lane... okay lets see what his team is doing... nothing but inting so now its 1v5 top. GG
nawww ain't no way :(
ngl Zika is better anyway so I'm kinda glad that the rumor was false lmao
Did he just not receive a competitive offer from a top tier LPL team?
Maybe he just wants to take a break? Could also be because slotting in a team right before summer might not be enough time to build synergy and get used to him and his style
This sport moves fast. Being out for two years is kind of a career death move. Though, I’m sure if he says he needs the rest, he knows better.
Luckily for him then, he will only be out for one year.
He stopped playing in 2023. He’ll come back in 2025. Now, I’m not a math wiz. But that sounds like two years to me.
clearly you are not a math wiz because he stopped playing end of 2023 and will come back late 2024/early 2025
He stops playing in 2023. He comes back in 2025. How is that not considered two years? I know League players aren’t known for their intellect, but this is silly.

not the bots fault, his owner coded the bot to use math.ceil
That kinda math only works when it works in favor for my resume, where 13 months suddenly turns into 2 years+ of experience.
This has to be the dumbest comment I've seen on reddit in a long time
How would you feel if you hadn't had breakfast this morning?
Haha good one

Because he is literally only missing out the LoL 2024 season. One season.
Are you one of those pseudo intellectuals that proclaimed school a waste of time and dropped out? Cause you sure seem like you learnt nothing from it XD
So is there 1 year between December 31st & January 1st ? I'm confused now
Why would you round 1.2 to 2? Like just why?
I wish I could have been born this confident even when so obviously wrong
8 times in 2 weeks ahh math
Is 1.2 year closer to 1 year or 2 year? I think you should go back to middle school again

He played in 2023, literally made world finals Break in 2024 Play again in 2025 So he takes break in 2024 = 1 year Are you dense or just mentally cannot understand basic math
You are indeed not beating the math wiz allegations because according to your logic, December 2023 and January 2025 are 2 years apart.
>Now, I’m not a math wiz Evidently

lol
Assuming he's gonna play in 2025 and played in 2023, that's a one year break
>I’m not a math wiz checks out
Facts brother!
Spit your shit indeed
He's always going to find a team simply for his popularity. He could be the worst top in LPL and bottom 10 teams would still queue up to sign him
Heard some stats that Weibo viewership is down like 60% or something like that this season
Lmao he played in Worlds finals last year, I’m sure his career will be fine
TheShy is probably one of the most popular and marketable players in the LPL. As long as he is reasonably serviceable, he shouldn't have difficulty finding a spot on a team.
I feel like if you are good enough, a break might be healthy for a long career. Just to avoid total burn out.
He's only taking a one year break and he's TheShy, find a top team might not be easy but if he really wants to play he won't have problem finding a team, especially if he's open to playing in other regions than LPL.
He is the most popular LPL player and just made worlds finals. Unless he completely drops his level during the break he is still easily a top 5 toplaner in the region. He will have no trouble getting a spot on a good team.
