Earlier today, OMG's weibo tweeted out that fan favorite and powerful Chinese top laner Gao "Gogoing" Diping would play in this weekend's LPL. The post was deleted shortly thereafter.

Following this post, OMG staff member "good breeder" posted an invitation to sign up for a sweepstakes this weekend. Three fans will be flown to Shanghai to watch Gogoing play in the final regular season LPL matches of the year between OMG and Edward Gaming. This confirmed that Gogoing will indeed be returning for the weekend.

The post also included a statement hinting at Gogoing's possible retirement, saying that "these may be the last games of his career."

Gogoing reposted the sweepstakes to his own weibo, but also said that he will continue to try to make his return and not retire, despite the wording in the invitation. It's speculated that the last line of the sweepstakes invitation may have been used to generate extra hype for the matches, but some confusion lingers among fans.

After a poor Spring split in which many close to the OMG organization stated that Gogoing lost focus, ex-mid laner and support, Hu "xiyang" Bin, took over the top lane role. xiyang has played for the previous 10 weeks of the Summer split, but many have criticized him for a limited champion pool. Gogoing only recently informed fans that he's been participating in OMG's scrims again.

This weekend, OMG play in three best-of-twos to end the season against top teams Edward Gaming, Qiao Gu, and LGD Gaming. They currently sit in fifth place and have the ability to place as high as second, should their matches go well, but the climb would be extremely difficult.
