Introduction: The S16 season has officially begun, and I believe most players have been closely following the recent matches. Over these days off, officials have released many updates, particularly about the ENC. After the Chinese and Korean teams announced their rosters, the tournament's popularity soared. This time, the team compositions are not what netizens expected. The Chinese team is missing jungler Xun, while the Korean team, despite being allowed to bring seven players, chose not to include Oner. It feels like they are deliberately defying the organizers and refusing to give any attention to ZOFGK. Moreover, according to insider sources, Xun voluntarily gave up his spot this time.

Report: Jungler XUN voluntarily gave up his competition spot

I believe most players are very interested in this ENC tournament. It is a major officially organized League of Legends event, with over 100 countries participating. There are 16 direct qualifying spots: China, South Korea, France, Vietnam, Brazil, the United States, Chinese Taipei, Denmark, Turkey, Greece, Poland, Argentina, Spain, Canada, Sweden, and the Czech Republic. The remaining 96 teams will compete for 16 main-stage slots. The toughest qualifier region is likely the Middle East and Africa, where 31 teams will fight for only two spots in the main event.

As the tournament approaches, our lineup has been officially announced, and it differs from what many expected. Top lane: Bin and Flandre; Jungle: Tian and Monki; Mid lane: Knight; ADC: JKL; Support: ON. AL战队 (AL team), as the main selector for this event, only had top laner Flandre selected. The other domestic starters were not included. Many fans joked that the ADC position would likely go to Hope, who would also serve as captain. After the roster reveal, the biggest controversy was in the jungle role. Many questioned why Xun wasn't chosen. This is actually due to rules—each team can have at most three players selected.

BLG has four domestic players: Bin, Xun, Knight, and ON. Rather than competing with other junglers, Xun was essentially competing with his own teammates. Three of them were guaranteed to be chosen, leaving one person to miss this global event. According to insiders, Xun voluntarily withdrew from the ENC tournament, allowing his teammates to participate worry-free. This selfless act is comparable to LCK's Oner—not everyone can make such a sacrifice, especially for a national-level competition. Even Uzi has often said that among all his years as a pro, only the Asian Games exhibition gold medal is worth displaying.

The Korean team's roster was announced later, and as expected, there were no changes. They are still using a six-man lineup: Top: Zeus; Jungle: Canyon; Mid: Faker and Zeka; ADC: Gumayusi; Support: Keria. The tournament allows seven players, but LCK still chose not to include Oner. It feels like they are deliberately pushing back against the organizers, refusing to give any spotlight to ZOFGK. Honestly, if the earlier controversy hadn't happened, Oner might have been part of this ENC event.

Goodbye's opinion:

I never expected Xun to be so selfless—voluntarily giving up this world-class event for his teammates. This tournament involves over 100 countries, and winning it would be even more prestigious than the previous Asian Games. If they win, they would truly be world champions. Looking at the current roster composition, the Korean team's synergy isn't as strong as people think. We definitely have a chance to compete with them.

What do you, dear viewers, think about this situation?
