A legendary AD person is making his return to LoL pro play in China
One of League of Legends GOATs is finally back on the professional stage.
Jian Uzi Zi-Hao is stepping back to the edward 2023 LPL Summer Split, and he joined the Edward Gaming organisation, starting AD carry. The 26-year-old will be joined in the bottom lane by former veteran Tian Meiko Ye as they try to break into the championship game again.
Uzi has not lost a full split since he retired in 2020 with the Royal Never Give Up, but this isn’t his first return. Last year, the talented phenom joined Bilibili Gaming, as a backup markman behind Chiu Doggo Tzu-Chuan. He has finished playing nine games for the team, but eventually sat back on the bench for the rest of the year.

Uzi, thought to be one of the greatest players to ever win a World Championship, was forced to retire early after suffering multiple different health complications caused by his arduous spending of time playing The Liga without giving proper breaks and care. He also had type II diabetes after he was diagnosed with an irregular diet for the majority of his professional life.
I went to the hospital for a checkup and, as far as a child I saw my arms, the doctor said, are similar to those of a 40-to-50-year-old? Uzi told Nike that in a video interview in 2019 that he spoke about his condition. I often feel like my legs aren’t strong. The rheumatose is not mine.
But these days, a lot of teams have taken extra precautionary steps in caring for their players, such as hiring nutritionists and personal trainers to help keep these players fit while they practice online for hours. Playing on a table all day long can put the stress on the player, especially if they don’t exercise, or eat well.
The biggest hurdle that Uzi will have to deal with is adjusting to the intense schedule that is ahead of him. Unlike streaming, competitive play is far more intense and hard when it comes to scrims, and reviews, and practice time. He also has to play against some of the best marksmen of the world, including Chen GALA Wei, Zhao Elk Jia-Hao, and defending MSI champ Park Ruler Jae-hyuk.
Edward Gaming is sitting at 1-3 slammed into the LPL regular season’s record. They will face off against Invictus Gaming next week. Uzi will finally get to stretch his wings and shake off the rust this year for the first time.
Catch Uzi when he is standing on Thursday, the 14th of June.
