Every era comes to an end, and so did that of Uzi (Jian Zihao). As one of the greatest players of the Chinese battle arena game League of Legends (LoL), Uzi is known for his role as Attack Damage Carry (ADC).
每個(gè)時(shí)代都有落幕之時(shí),Uzi(簡(jiǎn)自豪)的時(shí)代也是如此。作為游戲《英雄聯(lián)盟》中國(guó)賽區(qū)的頂尖選手之一,Uzi在游戲中以打物理輸出核心位置(ADC)而著稱。
The legendary Esports player officially announced his retirement at age 23 on June 3 due to health problems, including shoulder and hand injuries, which have become too painful to bear. During his eight-year career, Uzi has gone through ups and downs.
6月3日,這位傳奇電競(jìng)選手正式宣布,由于肩膀和手傷疼痛難忍等健康原因,他決定在23歲這年退役。在8年的電競(jìng)職業(yè)生涯中,Uzi走過(guò)了不少起起落落。
At age 15, Uzi started playing LoL professionally in the Royal Club, the forerunner of the current Royal Never Give Up (RNG). While Uzi’s parents didn’t support him, he didn’t give in and continuously proved to be one of the most skillful players in the world.
15歲時(shí),Uzi開(kāi)始在皇族俱樂(lè)部戰(zhàn)隊(duì)(即如今皇族電子競(jìng)技俱樂(lè)部RNG戰(zhàn)隊(duì)的前身)打起了《英雄聯(lián)盟》的職業(yè)比賽。盡管Uzi的父母并不支持他,但他并沒(méi)有讓步,而是不斷力證自己是世界上技術(shù)最好的選手之一。
At the 2013 LoL World Championship, Uzi was pitted against and defeated the team Oh My God (OMG) in what was a seemingly unwinnable situation after all his teammates were “killed”. This awarded Uzi international fame.
在2013年的英雄聯(lián)盟全球總決賽中,Uzi在隊(duì)員“全滅”、幾無(wú)勝算的情況下,逆轉(zhuǎn)局勢(shì)戰(zhàn)勝OMG戰(zhàn)隊(duì)。這場(chǎng)比賽也讓Uzi在國(guó)際上一戰(zhàn)封神。
Uzi stood at the peak of his career in 2018 when he helped RNG sweep multiple championships in many events, including the 2018 Asian Games, and Mid-Season Invitational (MSI), giving China international Esports recognition.
2018年,Uzi迎來(lái)了職業(yè)生涯的巔峰,他助力RNG戰(zhàn)隊(duì)拿下了包括2018年雅加達(dá)亞運(yùn)會(huì)、英雄聯(lián)盟季中冠軍賽在內(nèi)的多場(chǎng)比賽的冠軍,讓中國(guó)電競(jìng)獲得了國(guó)際上的認(rèn)可。
“The Asian Games also changed the minds of many people that Esports are not merely playing computer games,” he told CGTN.
“亞運(yùn)會(huì)也讓許多人的觀念發(fā)生了改變,電競(jìng)不僅僅是玩電腦游戲而已,”他在接受中國(guó)國(guó)際電視臺(tái)采訪時(shí)如此表示。
But he suffered a loss during the 2018 LoL World Championship. “If I could start it over, I [would] do better,” Uzi said.
但他卻在2018年英雄聯(lián)盟全球總決賽中惜敗。“如果能夠重來(lái)一次的話,我會(huì)做得更好,”Uzi表示。
To be a top professional player, Uzi practiced strenuously for over 10 hours every day. Intensive training brought injuries. In an early 2015 interview, Uzi talked about his injuries, “Once I went to the hospital for a check-up and the doctor said my arms are similar to that of a 40-to 50-year-old.”
為了成了一名頂尖的職業(yè)選手,Uzi每天都要花十幾個(gè)小時(shí)努力訓(xùn)練。高強(qiáng)度的訓(xùn)練也帶來(lái)了傷病的困擾。在2015年的一段早期采訪中,Uzi談及了他的傷病,“我去醫(yī)院做檢查,醫(yī)生說(shuō)我的手臂就和四五十歲的人一樣?!?/span>
Besides that, he has been diagnosed with Type II diabetes due to an unhealthy lifestyle. Uzi has been trying to control the disease through diet and exercise.
此外,由于不健康的生活方式,他還患有二型糖尿病。他也一直在通過(guò)飲食和運(yùn)動(dòng)來(lái)控制疾病。
For Uzi, the only title he did not win was the LoL World Championship. But all hope is not yet shattered. As Uzi told CGTN, “If my physical and mental health could be resumed in the best state, I will be back to my beloved Esports.”
對(duì)于Uzi而言,英雄聯(lián)盟全球總決賽冠軍是他唯一還未能贏得的冠軍頭銜。但希望卻并未破滅。正如Uzi在接受中國(guó)國(guó)際電視臺(tái)采訪時(shí)所說(shuō),“如果我的身心健康都能恢復(fù)到最佳狀態(tài),我會(huì)回歸我心愛(ài)的電競(jìng)?!?/span>
