LPL Top-Four Player Reportedly Asked for a Break Ahead of the Playoffs
A player from among the leaders of LPL in the group stage of Split 3 for the 2026 season has reportedly asked his organization for time off before the playoffs. According to the source, the athlete is feeling significant fatigue and is not in peak condition.
As reported by Chinese esports insider tttttyuc, the individual is believed to be a mid laner, jungler, or support from one of the four leading teams in Group Ascend: Anyone's Legend, Top Esports, Bilibili Gaming, or JD Gaming.
The player explained his request by citing his physical state, stating that he is exhausted. However, the organizations have so far declined this step and rejected the request.
It is important to note that the athlete's identity has not been officially revealed, and the clubs themselves have provided no confirmation. In a follow-up comment, the source advised treating rumors with skepticism, pointing out the heavy load on professional players: frequent flights, participation in dozens of tournaments, and regular international events make the schedule extremely dense.
The timing of the news coincides with a key moment in the season: the top six teams from Group Ascend qualify directly for the LPL 2026 Split 3 playoffs, approaching the decisive stage of the title fight.
