Theshy will announce the S14 plan.
Theshy said in an interview after yesterday's All-Star show that he would announce his plans for future S14 to everyone through social platforms. This basically means that Theshy has failed to reach a contract extension with WBG, and it is likely that he will take a break. The ending of Theshy in S13 is not bad, as a player who won the championship in S8 in 2018, he stood on the final stage again after 5 years and left, compared to many championship players who left the stage in a hurry after winning the championship, he is already a representative of "debut is the peak, burning to the last moment". Especially in this year's semi-finals, if it weren't for him crushing Bin, it would not be easy for WBG to pass the BLG level.
It's not his time?
The 19-year-old Zeus can be said to have completely blown up Theshy on the stage of this year's finals, just like the 19-year-old Theshy himself beat all his opponents in 2018. Zeus's 2022-2023 is reminiscent of Theshy's 2017-2018, which also looked capable in the first year of his debut but did not achieve good results, and in the second year he went straight to the top and won the championship in an almost impeccable state. Flowers have a reblooming day, no one is young, 5 years ago is theshy's era, and 5 years later it belongs to zeus.
Offseason = retirement?
In today's professional player age beginning to enter the environment of young players born in 05-06, Zeus in 04 is at the peak, and Theshy in 99 is already an elderly player in e-sports. While there are 96-year-old legends like Faker in history who are still winning titles, there is only one club like T1 that can give Faker a 10-year start. When Theshy was revealed to have failed to renew his contract with WBG this year, many people were puzzled. After all, the WBG doesn't look like a club that is short of money, and there is no substitute for top players like Theshy for them. WBG can't keep Theshy the same way T1 did with Faker, and if Theshy wants to retire on his own, this departure will probably be permanent.
The last player who took a half-time break and a half-retirement in '99 was Nuguri
Nuguri was also a transfer period without signing a break for half a year, and returned to DK in the summer season, although he entered the World Finals, but after returning from the professional scene for half a year, Nuguri was considered to have degraded seriously. Even though the key responsibility for the whole team in that half season was not him, it still led to his retirement in the end during the transfer period.
If Theshy announces a break this year, we are not optimistic about his performance, even if he can return through the transfer window next summer. If it's a break of more than a year, it's even less hopeful. There has never been a player in history who can play well after returning from the offseason, and faker was able to win four championships, which is directly related to his ten years of full attendance without an offseason. Once a pro player relaxes, it's hard to get back into a high-pressure environment.
