At 4AM in the morning on December 6th, TBQ left the once familiar LGD house with his luggage. After dealing much criticism throughout Worlds and IEM, he, in the end, made the decision to leave the team.

While filled with regret and unwillingness, TBQ spoke to the interviewer PiJie, saying “It’s not that I want to retire. I still believe I can play. I’ll come back to the stage after I take time to adjust my mindset”.

In the interview, TBQ also expressed thankfulness and well wishes to his teammates he once fought alongside with. He said he’ll miss PYL the most since they’ve always had a strong bond with each other. Regarding GodV (PainEvil), he said “if he could change his bad habit of being impatient, he could be one of the top mid-laners in the world”.

Near the end of the interview, TBQ told us that “I wish LGD can continue on to win Worlds”.

Q: First of all I wanted to ask why you decided to make this declaration. Do you really want to retire?

TBQ: I don’t want to retire. I still refuse to accept this. I still believe I can play. I just want to take a break and adjust my mindset first. I hope to come back to the stage again in the future.

Q: What was the reason behind such a decision?

TBQ: After IEM, I made the decision to take a break. I started to have doubts about myself even before that. I don’t know if my skill level and my mindset are still suited for the professional scene, so I decided to take a break in order to adjust.

Q: If you wanted to “take a break”. Then why did you decide to take such a drastic route and leave the team? Why don’t you adjust while staying on the team or while being a substitute?

TBQ: I feel that I’m getting weaker. I don’t want this to affect my teammates….

Q: After you made your declaration to leave the team, PYL and the rest of your team all expressed their support and that they’ll miss you. Do you have anything you want to say to your past teammates?

TBQ: First of all, I want to say something to PYL. I’ve always been teammates with him and we played together all the way to Worlds. We’ve been through many things together, so there’s a really strong bond between us. I hope he can adjust his mindset in order to achieve even more in the future. As for GodV (PainEvil), I think he’s a really good person and he has a really deep understanding of the game. But he tends to be a little impatient. If he can overcome this, I trust that he would become one of the top mid-laners in the world. As for my Korean teammates, I also hope that they will become better and better. I also hope that they won’t blame their Chinese teammates, because we’ve all been trying really hard.

Q: Why did you decide to leave the house at 4 AM in the morning?

TBQ: Umm…. I didn’t exactly choose this particular time. I just feel that this time would be a little better. Plus, LGD is about to move too. I’m worried that I’m still here when they start moving. It’s probably because it’s also a little awkward, so I decided to leave by myself.

Q: LGD has had many things going on lately. You and Flame both decided to leave. What are your expectations for LGD next season?

TBQ: LGD has never had problems with their line up. I hope the team can integrate well and trust each other. I hope that they will react positively when there are problems to be solved. I hope GodV (PainEvil) can change his habit of being impatient. And I hope LGD can continue on to win Worlds.

Q: What are your plans after this?

TBQ: I’m already home. I plan to rest for a time period, then adjust my mindset and continue to practice hard. I hope I can quickly regain my old mindset so I can go back on stage.

Q: Lastly, can you say something to those who have supported you?

TBQ: I’ve always been thankful for my fans and for those who have supported me. I was only able to preserve until today because of your support. Although I’m taking a temporary break, I will definitely find my old mindset and come back. Thank you, everyone!
