MadLife’s Potential Entry into the Hall of Legends Sparks Debate Following Faker and Uzi
As previously reported, Riot has officially released Uzi’s Hall of Legends (HoL) page, a move that has always been seen as a nod to the legendary player Faker of the LPL, regarding the influence and fame surrounding him. Interestingly, many fans have also pointed out that with Uzi being selected for HoL, he has to stand in the shadow of Faker, as the title of “King of ADC” has always been associated with him. However, if Uzi’s contribution is to be acknowledged, despite the ongoing debates, a recent rumor has surfaced, suggesting that the legendary League of Legends player, MadLife, may also enter HoL, igniting further controversy among the community.
According to sources, some rumors regarding MadLife’s entry into HoL have left many surprised and, of course, concerned about this possibility. Although he is often referred to as the “God of Support” for his exceptional playstyle with champions like Thresh and Blitzcrank, it is worth noting that MadLife has only achieved a limited number of accolades. His only notable achievements include a championship title at the OGN Summer 2012 and a runner-up finish at the World Championship in the same year. Furthermore, MadLife has yet to reach the highest level of any major tournament.
MadLife’s Entry into HoL: An Unexpected Controversy
If Uzi’s fame and impact can be debated, the same can certainly be said for MadLife. Currently, the star of Azubu Frost is nearly “forgotten” in the competitive scene. He hardly garners a significant fanbase, raising questions about his actual influence or fame in the League of Legends community, especially in Korea, not to mention globally.
In reality, people still recall his highlight reels with Thresh and Blitzcrank from years past—an era when the support role was still considered somewhat distant and managing the map was not yet a standard practice for all ten players in a match.
On another note, HoL serves as a “precursor” platform created by Riot. Even during his time in the LCK, it’s been suggested that no one can overshadow MadLife’s fame, especially with numerous other notable players like Mata, Wolf, and Keria (all currently with T1—the most popular team in League of Legends fandom). Therefore, it is puzzling why Riot would invest in a somewhat high-profile opportunity for MadLife.
Moreover, champions like Blitzcrank or Thresh have become outdated selections and are no longer suitable for the current meta, making it quite rare for these skins (if they appear) to be featured in professional competitions. This is precisely why MadLife’s potential inclusion in HoL seems to be an unfounded concern.
