Introduction: The S15 season has officially started, and it's believed that the majority of players have been paying attention to the recent confrontations. As the quarterfinals near, fan discussions about this World Championship have grown significantly. Despite being hosted in the LPL region, only two teams have made it to the knockout rounds, one team fell in the play-in, and another was halted in the Swiss stage. Honestly, the guest lineup this time surprised many fans. Uzi, once the most popular AD player in the LPL, did not appear on the World Championship stage this year. Recently, he was unexpectedly revealed by Ale during Xiaoming's live stream that he will appear at the finals.

Uzi is set to appear at the S15 finals.

Most players are quite interested in this World Championship. As the highest honor in League of Legends, after each region’s competitions conclude annually, several top teams gather in one region to compete for nearly a month to claim the World Championship title. Every professional player aims for this honor. In recent years, due to the LCK region's league system, the number of outstanding Korean players in the LPL has decreased. As a result, LPL teams have lost more frequently in the finals. The last time an LPL team won the World Championship was EDG several years ago, and since then, LCK has dominated.

With this event hosted locally, fans are very attentive. After the Swiss round ended, only two LPL teams remain: AL and TES. As champions of the first and second stages, they are considered the last hope. Some fans have raised questions because Uzi, arguably the most popular player in the LPL region, has not been seen in this local World Championship. When he was active, his appearances generated widespread online buzz regardless of results, and offline tickets were extremely hard to get, often requiring a premium to attend in person.

This time, many excellent LPL players, including some retired ones, have appeared, but there was no announcement about Uzi. Previously, he publicly stated that he was not invited to participate in the S15 World Championship. However, during Xiaoming’s recent live stream, Ale seemed to trick him. When asked if he would attend the quarterfinals in person, Uzi said no. Then Ale quickly asked about the finals, and Uzi immediately replied that he would attend, implying he might have been caught off guard.

Later, Xiaogou clarified that he would attend the live matches. As the most popular player, and even being chased by European and American players during the Swiss round, it would seem odd if Uzi didn’t go. A few days ago, on his birthday, Xiaogou gifted his wife Omimi a necklace worth 1.8 million yuan, showing their strong relationship. Omimi even said she mentioned something casually, and Uzi remembered and bought it for her. They truly are a model couple in the esports community, staying together through the years and now with a second child.

Farewell thoughts.

It’s highly likely that Uzi will attend the finals as an official commentator since there is no longer a draw for group stages; future matches depend solely on team strength. Maybe there will be a symbolic moment where Uzi gets to touch the championship trophy, something he has never done before. If that happens, the venue will surely erupt, and LPL’s popularity would skyrocket.

What do you, dear viewers, think about this situation?
