“After winning the Worlds 2021, he played for two teams at the same time. It was awkward,” Edward commented on Scout's move to LNG Esports

The owner of the top Chinese club Edward Gaming Zhu "Edward" Yi-Hang commented on the transition of the Scout star player to LNG during a personal broadcast. According to Edward, Scout received a very high salary last season and didn't want to move to the LCK. A Twitter user with the nickname LPL Funclub made a snippet from the broadcast.

So at certain times he played for two teams, which is inconvenient. So we talked to the league and resolved the issue. After all, his salary this year was super high, about double what it was last year.

We're like, okay, it's not about the money, just play with us until retirement. All parties agreed on the details and we were happy. But the same thing happened this year. Scout wanted to come back to Korea again this year.

The owner of Edward Gaming thought the player was homesick (Scout is from South Korea). In addition, Edward assumed that the 24-year-old star was not satisfied with the financial conditions and therefore wanted to continue playing in the LCK.

Back in Korea, Scout found that no team could give him a better salary than us. Then he came back, it was very embarrassing. I'm upset, we created such good conditions for him.

Recall that Scout left EDward Gaming after 7 years of playing for the club. In the camp of the top Chinese club, Scout managed to win 4 LPL tournaments and became the champion of Worlds 2022.
