Initial Assessment: 6th
Current Placing: 2nd
For most of us in the stadium that day, YoLMS versus GashBears was a forgone conclusion.
Yo was not a good jungler, statistically speaking, he was infact one of the worst to play in the LMS. So when GashBears purchased the Logitech Snipers roster, it was not surprising that they cut Yo from the team. Somehow, someway, the grizzled jungler managed to scrape together a team at the last second, and now faced his former team in a battle for an LMS spot.
He wasn’t taken very seriously.
“Yo”又 which means again in Mandarin, was often the victim of savage Taiwanese memes. “Yo carried the enemy team”(Yoooo carry了一場) was the most common, referring to his repeatedly bad performances. “YoLMS”(Literally, Again LMS), I thought at the time, was a feeble, albeit humorous, attempt at reminding people of his existence before he transitioned into a streamer.
I should have taken him more seriously.
YoLMS brought the forums to a frenzy, defeating GB 3-2. The games were ugly and Baron played a bigger role than it should have with multiple executes, but Yo got his revenge. The secret to his success? Finding unlikely heroes where other pro teams wouldn’t look: Normal Games. Mid-laner SuwaKo and support SuKi were casual players that rarely played ranked, but their trials were so convincing that Yo decided to enlist both. SuwaKo now leads LMS in kills(34) and DPM(908), while marksman LBB is second in both categories.
YoLMS was then acquired by XGamers, previously a celebrated CS 1.6 team, which granted them a supporting staff with decades of gaming experience. The last piece of the puzzle was top laner Nexus, a Hong Kong resident chosen by team analyst Skywalk. With his massive champion pool and calm demeanor, XGamers managed to do the unthinkable: sweep the Flash Wolves to take 2nd place.
It’s still early in the season to place XGamers into the A list, but there is good reason to believe that this is a team that will be competitive for the remainder of the season. Good talent and strong infrastructure have never failed in the Taiwanese scene, and XG currently has both. The importance of the Yo story will continue to garner them fans as well, as these new players bring hope that more native talent exists to compete against larger player pools in Korea and China.
When asked what the future holds for his team, Yo answered, “Prepare to be amazed.”
