The League of Legends S15 World Championship has officially concluded. The champion team T1 recently returned home, with players gradually starting their live streams. The FMVP winner, Little Lu Bu, showcased the FMVP trophy during his stream. His aunt said: Although she’s not very familiar with past trophies, this year’s is the most beautiful. He also mentioned Uzi, who presented the award to him, during the stream.

“This was personally awarded to me by my amateur idol, China’s greatest ADC player Uzi, which makes it incredibly meaningful,” he said. Besides that, his aunt posted a photo with Uzi on social media. It’s clear that the current world’s top AD truly respects Uzi’s skill and holds him in high regard. This year, Uzi seems to have fewer critics among AD players.

Recently, a fan shared a photo of Uzi at the event. After presenting the award to Little Lu Bu, he returned alone to the empty commentary desk, sitting quietly and gazing up at the T1 team celebrating on stage, unable to let go. This scene reveals how deeply Uzi longs for a world championship and still has the desire to compete, but his personal condition and family situation prevent his return.

Lately, many streamers and fans have voiced support for Uzi, feeling it unfair that during his peak, he could have continued competing but was blocked by RNG’s contract issues, with no intervention from the league officials. This wasted several prime years of Uzi’s career. Although everyone knows he likely won’t return, many fans still call for his comeback, including his former teammate Tabe.

During a broadcast on the secondary desk, Tabe saw Uzi come on stage to present the award and was deeply moved: “Little Dog and I have been around since then, one presenting an award and the other commentating. Back in S3, Royal Club reached the finals against old Lee. Twelve years later, one has retired and the other became a coach. Seeing Faker still winning championships probably makes them think the same as Shanks: How is he still so strong at this age?”

After Uzi shook hands with the T1 players, Tabe called out remotely: “Come on, Little Dog, keep fighting next year.” Honestly, if Uzi joined AL as a substitute, it wouldn’t be impossible. Although older, his game understanding remains sharp. Like Zoom, he could easily serve as an AD specialist coach. If AL maintains this year’s competitiveness and draws weaker teams in worlds, Uzi might even get to play.

Moreover, since AL didn’t win this year, the LPL’s popularity might slightly decline next year. Uzi’s return could help revive interest. However, this is just wishful thinking. At 28 years old and with a second child, Uzi almost certainly won’t return to pro play. Plus, AL’s roster might not stay intact next year, with Tazan and Karl’s value skyrocketing. Without major investment, AL will likely lose them.

Additionally, AL really needs to strengthen their AD position. Hope’s potential was clear at worlds — he’s the type who thrives when his team has the advantage, dealing damage confidently. But when he needs to step up as the carry, he falls short. He couldn’t even perform well in guaranteed win matches, let alone in tough situations. If AL wants to contend for the championship, they must replace their AD.

In conclusion:

While T1 celebrates on stage, Uzi sits alone in the shadows below, reminiscent of KT losing to T1. After the world championship ends, they still have to watch T1’s players lift the trophy and bow to the audience before leaving. BDD has proven that individual strength isn’t enough; only a strong team can win the championship. Uzi, sitting below, surely feels the same way.

So, what do you think about Uzi joining AL as a substitute?
