For many who followed League of Legends, June 3rd was a day to remember. Jian “Uzi” Jihao, one of the world’s most revered AD Carries, had retired<\/a>. Health issues had become too much for the celebrated player. <\/p>\n

In the wake of the momentous event, a tribute video was put together<\/a> and posted to Chinese social media platform Weibo, that featured members of the League of Legends professional scene paying tribute to the former Royal Never Give Up star. Doublelift, Mlxg, Clearlove, Rekkles, Perkz, Faker, and many others pitched in to pay their respects. <\/p>\n

“Ever since I saw your Vayne play at Worlds 2013, I’ve looked up to you, and one of the highlights of my career was playing Tandem together at All-Stars 2016 — even though I was the keyboard,” said Fnatic’s Martin “Rekkles” Larsson.<\/p>\n

The sentiment was echoed by TSM’s Yiliang “Doublelift” Peng, who said, “You’ve done a lot of amazing things in your career and I’m a huge fanboy of yours, so just know you have a supporter no matter what you’re doing.” <\/p>\n
