TheShy of IG Contemplates Future in Competitive Play for Next Season

Kang “TheShy” Seung-lok’s Future in Professional League of Legends Uncertain

The future of Kang “TheShy” Seung-lok in professional League of Legends is up in the air, as he recently expressed uncertainty about his return to the Chinese esports scene for the next season. In a statement made during his stream, TheShy revealed that his contract is expiring soon, and he has not made a final decision about continuing as a professional player next year.

TheShy’s Disappointing Season and Potential Break from League of Legends

This announcement comes after a disappointing season for TheShy, who was part of the Invictus Gaming team. They finished third in the 2020 LPL Spring Split and failed to qualify for Worlds following a surprising 3-1 loss to LGD Gaming in the LPL Summer regional finals. Once considered one of the best top laners in the world, TheShy is now contemplating leaving his team and taking a break from the game.

The Impact of COVID-19 on TheShy’s Decision

TheShy cited the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic as one of the main reasons for his uncertainty. Due to travel restrictions and the risk of the virus, he expressed concerns about not being able to freely come and go from Korea, where he is currently based. The pandemic has also prevented him from visiting his family and friends back home, making the situation even more challenging.

TheShy’s Hope to Continue as a Professional Player

Despite the obstacles, TheShy expressed his desire to continue as a professional player if possible, stating that he aims to remain in the scene under normal circumstances. However, with the current situation and personal factors, he is still evaluating his options and thinking about his future.
