Maple Retires from Professional Esports
Huang "Maple" Yi-Tang, one of the most consistent and iconic mid laners in League of Legends history, has announced his retirement from professional play. Over a decade-long career, Maple became a role model and inspiration for thousands of fans worldwide.
The Rise of Maple
Maple began his professional journey in 2014 with Flash Wolves. The team quickly rose to dominance in the LMS (League of Legends Master Series), securing five league titles. Under his leadership, Flash Wolves defeated international giants like SK Telecom T1, earning a reputation as the pride of LMS. Maple's skill and vision solidified his place as the face of the team and the region.
Transition to PCS
In December 2020, Maple joined PSG Talon, taking over the mid lane from Tank. Despite transitioning to a new team and league, Maple continued to shine. In some seasons, he even switched to the AD Carry role, proving that his talent and experience knew no bounds. His contributions were instrumental in PSG Talon’s success, as the team claimed 5 out of 8 PCS championship titles during his tenure.
Saying Goodbye to Maple
Maple leaves a legacy as one of the greatest players of his era in both LMS and PCS. From Flash Wolves to PSG Talon, his influence on the League of Legends scene is undeniable. While he may not officially join the "Hall of Legends," his name will forever resonate in the hearts of fans.
Maple’s journey serves as a testament to how hard work, dedication, and passion can lead to greatness in esports. Thank you, Maple, for the unforgettable moments and inspiration!
