League of Legends: Why LCK legend PraY has turned down all offers for 2019 LoL Esports \/ Riot GamesAfter being linked with a whole host of American teams in recent weeks, LCK bot lane legend Jin \u2018PraY\u2019 Jong-In has cast some major doubt over his future in esports. The Korean \u2013 who has won League of Legends Champions Korea with three different teams \u2013 revealed that he has turned down several offers to compete in the 2019 season during an emotional stream on Afreeca TV, with his fans now uncertain about what his next step might be. \u201cThe offers [that I\u2019ve received from teams] have been too good, but I turned them all down,\u201d he said. \u201cMaybe I had already closed my heart, for some time by now.\u201d This was followed by several mentions of the word \u201cretirement,\u201d according to Korizon \u2013 a Korean esports website. The 24-year old reportedly went on to discuss the idea of retiring when the fans \u201cwere still clapping\u201d and his potential regret of leaving now when they are not. Despite the fans in the chat pleading for him to stick around and speak to more teams again, PraY responded with: \u201cThat\u2019s the end. I\u2019m going now. Maybe I\u2019ll turn the stream on again soon,\u201d before ending the stream. Hello. This is PraY, Jong In KIM. My contract with KING-ZONE Dragon X has terminated today. I am looking into a lot of different teams in many countries. Please contact me through my email if you are interested. Thank you E-mail : arnc2704@naver.com\u2014 \uae40\uc885\uc778 (@LolPraY) November 20, 2018 What makes his words more shocking, is that they came just over a week after PraY opened himself up to offers publicly. He took to Twitter to seemingly promote his availability on November 20, as you can see in the tweet below. While his fans may be confused or saddened by the situation, it does not seem like a concrete announcement at this stage. There is still hope that he could return in the future, even if it\u2019s not alongside GorillA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
