EDG Esports Club's League of Legends division announced that player Xiang Tao has officially left the team.


EDG Esports Club has officially released a personnel change announcement, stating that after friendly negotiations between both parties, Xiang Tao (ID: Angel), the mid-laner for the League of Legends division, has officially left the team effective immediately. This announcement, filled with gratitude and blessings, not only marks the end of their years of joint efforts but also offers a sincere farewell and best wishes to this veteran player who has competed on the field for many years.  


Looking back on Angel's professional career, he has delivered countless unforgettable moments on the field. The announcement summarized his signature Akali performance as "Hidden Edge in the Twilight, Deadly Falcon Dance," highlighting how his precise cuts and decisive strikes repeatedly broke through enemy lines and reshaped the course of battle. When the team needed consistent damage output, he could also bring out Viktor, using his "rainbow light as a limit, field as a distance" control to dominate the battlefield. With his powerful area-of-effect damage and situational control, he exemplified the composure and dominance of a traditional mage.  


Besides his outstanding individual skills, Angel's solid fundamentals are also a key reason why he has been able to maintain his position in the LPL for so long. Throughout his career, he has consistently defended the mid lane with his stable laning ability and excellent roaming support, becoming the most reliable link in the team. Whether facing high-intensity laning battles or complex and ever-changing lane rotations, he can handle them well with his rich experience and deep understanding of the game, providing a solid guarantee for the team's tactical system.  


The esports arena is not only a contest of skill and tactics, but also a battle of mentality and willpower, and Angel's significance has long transcended the arena itself. During EDG esports club's low point and period of immense external pressure, he consistently faced everything with a positive and optimistic attitude, proactively taking on the role of regulating the team's atmosphere and becoming the team's "emotional stabilizer." It is precisely this gentle yet firm character that allowed the team to maintain cohesion during difficult times, like a ray of light helping his teammates rediscover their direction.  


The curtain slowly falls, but a new chapter has quietly begun; Xiang Tao's professional story continues. Farewell is merely a brief pause in the melody of life. We thank Angel for his hard work and companionship during his time with EDG Esports Club. May he carry the experience and glory he has accumulated along the way, and walk with passion and determination on his future path, just as the announcement stated: May his life be as bright as a galaxy, with dazzling scenery along the way.
