Doinb's ups and downs
2024 can be considered a period of ups and downs for the former CKTG 2019 champion – Doinb. After the incident of the Douyu streaming platform, this guy was discovered to have brought his family back to his hometown of Korea to “avoid the disaster”. However, after a period of “disappearance”, Doinb has returned to social networks and he even joined the coaching staff of the Ultra Prime team.
After a period of ups and downs, Doinb recently joined the coaching staff of Ultra Prime.
However, according to the revelation from Doinb's “roof” – Umi, this guy will not stop at becoming a coach. Specifically, in a recent livestream, Umi titled the stream “Waiting for him (Doinb) to come back”. Even when answering fans' questions, Umi confirmed that the former CKTG 2019 champion is very serious about this comeback in the upcoming 2025 season.
Doinb's wife – Umi recently confirmed that he will return in season 2025.
“Roof” Umi confirmed Doinb will return to compete
“He is really serious about this professional comeback. Doinb has been practicing extremely hard to improve his skills and has done a lot of practice sessions. I fully support him and his goal when he returns is to seek glory, not money. Actually, my husband is almost 30 years old, if he doesn't make an effort now, there will be no more opportunities in the future” – Umi confirmed Doinb's professional comeback when responding to fans.

A few days ago, the audience also discovered that Doinb had returned to “tryhard” League of Legends on the Korean server. The former CKTG 2019 champion even climbed to the Challenger rank quite easily even when facing other professional players. Doinb's efforts show that he still has enough skills to compete in a top environment like the LPL. Of course, the LPL Summer 2024 has now entered the playoffs, so Doinb's chance can only come in the upcoming 2025 season.
Doinb was also recently discovered to have successfully climbed Challenger on the Korean server.
LPL will benefit greatly from Doinb's return
The 2024 season is considered a relatively sad year for LPL fans so far. First, the LPL's viewership index has dropped quite heavily in both the spring and summer tournaments. Moreover, the failure of BLG and TES at MSI 2024 held right at their “home ground” has further reduced the confidence of the audience in this region.
BLG's failure at MSI 2024 has significantly reduced LPL audience's confidence in the tournament.
Therefore, the return of a famous player like Doinb is a necessity for the LPL in the next season. Even if Doinb does not have a very good result, his popularity will attract a certain amount of viewers and help the LPL develop more than the 2024 season. In addition, Doinb can also create a positive media effect and increase the attention of foreign viewers to the LPL.
Doinb has won the hearts of many players and international audiences in the past.
To be fair, Doinb has been out of the game for quite a while, so the audience cannot be sure that he will be successful when he returns. In addition, the next destination in his career is not clear yet. However, Doinb's presence will at least help LPL attract more viewers and bring a new breeze to this tournament. Hopefully, Doinb's efforts for this comeback will be rewarded in the upcoming 2025 season.
