Somnus` M says his return is possible in future with right team, maybe even with Ame
2022-12-04 09:04:00Chinese star player Lu "Somnus`M" Yao explained his views on the future on a local stream. The midlaner thinks he might return after a break, maybe even team up with Wang "Ame" Chunyu. Several different Chinese sources translated his words, confirming one another.
Somnus` M said he wants to take a break because he is too tired after TI11. Their unfortunate run at the event upset him too much. They had a good run that ended with getting COVID-19 by almost everyone and dropping out of the tournament.
The most important thing for Somnus's return is a proper team. He wants to find a good squad with trust and high spirits, just like PSG.LGD in 2018.
Chalice will continue his career next year after a break. If I come back, I will join a team that I like. TI winners like OG, Spirit, and Tundra, trust and encourage each other. We had a team like theirs in TI8, but sadly we lost, and it is really difficult to rebuild it.
It is possible that he will reunite with Ame, but it won't happen soon. By that time Ame may already join a new lineup or Somnus might lose his form.
Well, if there is a team that suits him, I am still in good shape next year. Then I probably will come back. It is still early to talk about it. Perhaps he will join a new team, or we have Maybe and Ame, but we won't find other teammates. I can only say I am OK with teaming up with Ame if I am still good enough to play pro Dota 2.
Ame and Somnus`M reportedly had some issues with each other in the past. Their disagreements led to carry's move to CDEC in early 2020. After that Somnus`M didn't invite Ame to his wedding.
Somnus`M has announced his retirement after TI11 where he competed with RNG. His team had a great start in the group stage but got COVID-19 and their performance dropped dramatically. RNG missed on the upper bracket and didn't survive the initial bo1 against Entity in the lower.
