League of Legends Pro League team QG Reapers signed a new rookie support player, Shi “Deceit” Linjiang and published a short story about his background, including how he lost his left calf in a car accident in May of 2007.

Following the departure of starting support player Liu “Ali” Xudong, QG signed a rookie support player called Deceit. According to QG, Deceit achieved the rank of Challenger in both the 2016 and 2017 season, and his attitude, “tenacious spirit,” and vision control impressed the team during tryouts.

QG introduced Deceit by giving fans an interesting personal detail about the player.

“Deceit was born in 1997 on July 31st,” QG’s post began. “He is 170 cm tall and weighs 48 kg. On May of 2007, Deceit lost his left calf in a car accident. In bad circumstances, Deceit always has a great work ethic and positive attitude. In 2012, Deceit began chasing his esports dream.”

QG stated they are “deeply moved” by Deceit’s positivity.

The team did not clarify when their new support would start. QG have another support player, Hu “Cloud” Zhenwei, who has played for the team since Ali departed for health reasons. In QG’s most recent match, they 2-0’d WE, the team in first place in Group B. Cloud started for them in both matches.
