In America, the record was set for the most expensive transfers in League of Legends. The player ransom was $ 6,000,000

Recently it became known that Doublelift and Bjergsen have left the team. Doublelift, now a legendary player, retired from his esports career, while Bjergsen became a free agent. Now one vacant seat was filled by Taiwanese Hu 'SwordArt' Zhu Jie, whose contract TSM bought from Suning for $ 6,000,000. For the American scene, this amount is definitely a record. The esportsman caught his eye during his performance at the 2020 World Championship. As part of Suning, he managed to make it to the grand final, but the team was defeated in the final match with DAMWON Gaming with a score of 1-3.

Rumors began circulating long ago that SwordArt might join Team SoloMid. The American daily The Washington Post even wrote about it. The situation with the pandemic also played a role here. She has jeopardized the deal over the emerging visa problems at SwordArt. In addition, there were also problems with payment, and therefore certain circumstances played into the hands of the parties to complete the record deal.

Team SoloMid CEO Andy 'Reginald' Dean comments:

• “I was really impressed with his performance. After Bjergsen retired, we had a good opportunity and a good time to invest. I think our main goal is the World Cup final. It will be funny if we don't make the playoffs. the expectations are really clear: the players are better off working on themselves. "

Team SoloMid roster:

• Mingyui 'Spica' Lu (forester)
• Tristan 'PowerOfEvil' Shrage (mid)
• Vincent 'Biofrost' Van (support)
• Hu 'SwordArt' Zhu Jie (support)
