Only Xiaohu remains from the 2018 RNG championship lineup, the legendary Li "Xiaohu" from LPL! The longest-standing river!

With Karsa's recent retirement, this former LMS "Wolf King" who joined the LPL scene playing for RNG, TES, V5, and WBG, then returned to LCP (post-LMS merger) to compete for CFO and PSG, has truly been a top-tier jungler, gifting us countless memories and iconic scenes! He lifted the MSI trophy with RNG back then and later created legendary moments with TES. Known as "Radar" on the field and "Kage" off it, he inspired the famous saying, "Practicing just one Gnar all season is so tough!" At this year’s S15 World Championship, PSG drew a tough group, facing top teams in almost every game, ultimately falling in the group stage. Karsa waved goodbye to fans and officially announced his retirement, marking the end of an era for junglers!

Whatever path Karsa chooses next—whether streaming, coaching, or working behind the scenes—I wish him all the best. Given his personality and popularity, he’s sure to succeed in whatever he pursues! As Crisp jokingly said, now that he’s retired, he can focus on becoming a watch expert. Indeed, Karsa has a deep passion and knowledge for watches; maybe that’s a real career path for him! After his retirement announcement, fans noticed that among the six players from RNG’s 2018 championship team, only Xiaohu remains active in professional play, steadfastly continuing his career. Letme retired early to focus on streaming, Mlxg retired after many ups and downs and also streams, Uzi has stepped back from the scene after multiple comebacks but still competes in the Rift and has a Hall of Fame skin, and Ming quietly retired and faded from competition.

Looking at it now, Xiaohu is truly the top one. After all these years, he has maintained excellent professional form and skill, consistently leading his team forward (he tried hard last year but couldn’t bring his teammates up to the world championship level). If the LPL has the longest river and the highest mountain, Xiaohu can be considered one of them—he dominated an era and is among the best domestic mid laners!
