After EDward Gaming’s Manager revealed on stream about the `player loan law` that Riot China had just approved, within the past 48 hours, a series of reputable news outlets in China have confirmed the information.
Accordingly, the 4 LPL teams participating in Worlds 2021 will be allowed to borrow players from teams outside the top 6 LPL Summer 2021 to supplement their force, in case one or several players on the list register to attend.
This opens up a prospect of EDG, RNG or FPX, LNG being able to add top players like Knight, Bin, SofM, Kanavi… to the squad.
However, positive news is nowhere to be found, but on Chinese social networking sites, extremely offensive behavior related to this issue has begun to appear.
RNG’s mid laner had a serious decline in performance in the second half of the 2021 season, and was considered the main reason for the team’s early elimination and inability to defend the LPL summer championship.
Previously, at LPL Spring 2021 and MSI, Cryin was only considered to be a good player, and was considered the weakest link in the RNG squad.
Some netizens have fantasized about RNG using TES’s Knight to replace Cryin, similar to bringing SofM to replace the jungle positions of EDG or FPX.
These opinions have received many harsh reactions from the RNG fan community, and even Knight who did nothing was dragged into the controversy.
Some opinions also believe that, with the offensive cyberattacks targeting Cryin, Riot China should abolish this temporary law, because teams attending Worlds would rather take young players to replace them than borrow people.
In addition, among the four teams attending Worlds, RNG is the team with the least ability to borrow players.
