In the LPL region, TheShy is an extremely famous player with many fans. Even after announcing a temporary break from competition in the spring, TheShy's activities still received great attention. A few days ago, TheShy surprised the LPL audience when he appeared on the list of participants for the “Veterans Cup” consisting of retired players. This is considered a move that shows that TheShy will most likely retire this year.

However, according to the latest information revealed, TheShy will return to LPL Summer 2024 with an extremely strong squad. Specifically, TheShy was revealed to play under the LNG Esports (LNG) shirt in the upcoming tournament. Furthermore, this team will also have extremely high-quality additions such as Ming in the Support position or Wei or Tarzan in the Jungle role. This is a squad that experts consider to have a chance to win the 2024 World Championship if all individuals are in high performance.
Reputable journalist Wooloo recently shared information: “TheShy will return to LPL Summer 2024 in the LNG shirt”
Wooloo also positively evaluated LNG's new squad: “This is a team that can win Worlds 2024 if the whole team is in top form.”
The LPL region's Sohu page also revealed similar information: “TheShy will join LNG, Ming and Wei are also preparing to join? LNG has a bold move in the summer tournament”
One of the main reasons why TheShy stopped playing in the first half of the 2024 season was that the price of his advertising contract was too high. To have TheShy's service, LNG will certainly have to spend a huge amount of money. According to experts at LPL, TheShy's salary in the second half of the 2024 season alone has reached 10 million yuan (about 35 billion VND). This is an extremely “huge” amount of money when even the top LPL superstars only have a ceiling salary of 12 million yuan (about 42 billion VND) for the whole year.

Regarding LNG's new lineup, this is truly a “Super Team” if they successfully sign contracts with these stars. It is important to know that RNG has recently been facing many financial problems. So it's understandable that they sell star players to “make up for losses” like Ming or Wei. Combined with established players like TheShy or Scout, LNG is a very strong team, at least in theory.

Of course, the success of this team depends a lot on whether TheShy and his teammates are in good form or not. In addition, they still need time to adapt and get used to each other's playing style. In the worst case, LNG could completely become a big disappointment like many “Super Teams” that have appeared in the past.
