League of Legends events have gone through 11 years of ups and downs. In this wonderful journey, the names of countless strong teams and countless top players have appeared in our memories and are forgotten in a hurry. Some teams that have persisted to this day still maintain the majesty of a wealthy family, and people can always think of the top players who have emerged from these strong teams. Some players use their precious youth to engrave their ids with the team, and people will think of the team they stick to when they talk about them. As one of the greatest contestants in the history of LPL, Rookie spent seven years with iG and wrote a legendary story. Now this story is finally coming to an end, and people finally wait for the parting that they don’t want to accept. At this point, Baolan is still the only one left in the S8 championship lineup of iG team.
iG e-sports club announcement excerpt:
Original iG e-sports club League of Legends branch mid laner Song Yijin (ID:Rookie) and the club contract expired, and after both parties Friendly negotiation and communication, on the basis of fully respecting the players' wishes, the two sides finally did not reach an intention to renew the contract. Rookie players will leave the team as a libero. iG.Rookie officially disconnected today...
From S4 to S4, the genius rookie who won the OGN summer championship, went to the S5 Korean aid tide to the "coal digging brothers" composed of LPL and Kakao. From iG introducing a "gift" to join the powerful jungler Kakao, to supporting the team through the entire trough. He used to be a very energetic monster who focused on laning operations, but later became the dean's mid-lane who led the team to eat grass and milk. The dream of winning the iG championship that he once had finally ushered in the most beautiful realization at the Incheon Manhe Arena on November 3, 2018. He has accompanied iG through storms and waves in seven years, and it is hard for us to imagine him wearing other team uniforms. But the separation has finally become a fact. I wish Rookie can find the direction to move forward again and have a bright future.
