(Homeland) - Once hailed as one of LPL's premier Marksmen, Lwx is now gearing up for a 'career switch'.
LPL has always been seen as one of the most competitive regions, rivalling its 'arch-rival' LCK. Additionally, fans in this region tend to have higher expectations for their professional players, especially since renowned players in LPL often receive special treatment from their managing teams and sponsors. LPL players also face immense pressure every time they step onto the international stage.
As a result, many LPL players, after prolonged periods of intense competition, encounter various psychological and performance-related challenges. Even legendary figures like TheShy, Rookie, and Doinb have experienced fluctuations in their performance throughout their careers.
Moreover, the pressure of success forces LPL teams to constantly strategize their transfer policies, and many players who once tasted glory now find themselves unemployed. Notable examples include Doinb, Flandre, and iBoy.
In the case of FunPlus Phoenix (FPX), since their victory in the 2019 World Championship Finals, the team dubbed the 'Phoenix' has failed to reclaim its former glory. After a period of ups and downs, key players who once ascended to the top in Paris have departed, leaving only Lwx to compete for FPX.
However, as revealed by Doinb, his former teammate may transition to the Support role, and currently, FPX is seeking a suitable Marksman for the former 2019 World Champion. This information was also confirmed by Hanyi - former Coach of Victory Five.
Nevertheless, neither FPX nor Lwx has made any statements regarding the matter. Lwx was once regarded as one of the finest Marksmen in the LPL, but currently, his form is not truly exceptional. Alongside FPX's position near the bottom of the standings, a change is necessary for both the team and the individual player, Lwx.
