Hu “SwordArt” Shuo-Chieh just pulled off what can only be described as “the heist of the century;” The venerable support will return to the LPL again and compete for Weibo Gaming (formerly known as Suning). Therefore, his one-year stint in the LCS has earned him millions of dollars and, so to speak, has not affected his stock negatively.

You have to give it to the guy: he made a series of impeccable career moves and is now paying off his hard work. He didn’t really surprise anyone during his time with TSM, but it certainly wasn’t for a lack of trying — he just didn’t fit the way the boys in black and white wanted to play the game. He is an aggressive playmaker, whereas TSM gravitates towards a more controlled style of play, especially in the early stages of the game.

Luckily, this was an important learning experience And also very profitable. A win-win, if you will.
