Preface: The S15 season matches have officially started, and the vast majority of players have likely been paying attention to the recent battles. The LPL region's games are almost over, with two remaining slots yet to be confirmed. Recently, during the off-season, some surprising news emerged: the well-known former LPL support player Pyl is rumored to be divorcing, and it was his wife who publicly revealed it. If you are an old fan, you surely know Pyl was LGD's top support and captain, once representing the LPL as the number one seed at the World Championship stage. He devoted his entire career to LGD, never switching teams.
Most players are quite familiar with the LPL region. As a former world-class league, LPL enjoyed a glorious period, especially in its early years, producing many top talents like Uzi and Wei Shen, who were highly popular elite pros. Over time, players' performance fluctuated greatly, and many could no longer maintain their competitive edge on the pro stage. Ultimately, many quietly retired; some joined LPL's official staff, while others disappeared completely from the scene.
If you are a veteran esports fan, LGD is certainly not unfamiliar. Even a few years ago, cheers for LGD could still be heard from the official broadcasts. LGD is a very charismatic LPL team with impressive achievements, especially during the S5 season when they dominated the competition, even crushing the then-unstoppable EDG team. They secured the LPL’s number one seed for the World Championship. The genius mid laner Wei Shen’s iconic backward arrow happened at the S5 Worlds. Had he not switched careers, his accomplishments might have been even greater. However, after moving into PUBG, he certainly earned more and even won championships.
Back then, LGD’s support player Pyl was also very famous. Alongside Xiaoming and Meiko, they were considered LPL’s esports social stars, all boasting large fanbases. Pyl retired earliest, stepping away from the pro scene during the S10 season. He also created a legend by spending his entire career solely with LGD. In the following years, he became an official LPL staff member and got married, seemingly settling down. But recently, his wife unexpectedly revealed their separation, reportedly a mutual decision, making divorce nearly certain.
Pyl’s wife posted many messages, basically stating she does not want Pyl’s property, house, or dowry. The details have not been finalized, and she wishes to meet Pyl to discuss things properly. Currently, they have stopped contacting each other. To summarize the response, dating and marriage are different, as are cohabitation and marriage. Many issues arose after marriage, but both avoided facing them. Fans don’t know the specifics yet; it seems they haven’t officially divorced but are on the brink, with many details still unsettled.
Who would have thought that such news would surface just two years after the top LPL support’s marriage? The couple likely has no children. The marriage itself might have been a rash decision. It seems communication broke down between Pyl and his wife, prompting her to expose the situation online, hoping public pressure will force them to have a face-to-face conversation and resolve all issues.
