League Of Legends is an action strategy game that has been quite popular in recent times. The game has a varied fan base, and seeing any top player retire is tough for our fans. Jian “Uzi” Zi-Hao, one of the best the game has ever seen or will see, recently announced his retirement.
While this came to us as a shock, he has not been doing too well physically. He insisted that his ailment is due to some chronic damage. He also stated that it is a decision influenced by persisting injuries that have become unbearable.
Back in 2012, Jian “Uzi” Zi-Hao, started his career with Royal Never Give Up. It is an incredible achievement, as well as a testament to his dedication that he retired with the very same team. He is, perhaps, going to be remembered as a shining beacon of loyalty when it comes to League of Legends.
