Fy on leaving Azure Ray: "I was so happy after Riyadh Masters. It was like getting out of prison"
2024-07-30 12:28:00Chinese Dota 2 player Xu "fy" Linsen shared his feelings about leaving the Azure Ray roster. On the stream of his former teammate, Lu "Somnus`M" Yao, he claimed he felt relief and compared exiting Riyadh Masters 2024 to getting out of prison. His words were translated by the Russian Telegram channel Chinalov33v.
I was so happy when we played the last game at Riyadh Masters. It was like getting out of prison.
At Riyadh Masters, Azure Ray failed to even get out of the play-in stage. They managed to win only one game before the elimination. After the event, Azure Ray lost three players and the coach: Fy, Jiang "TianMing" An, Zeng "Ori" Jiaoyang, and Zhang "LaNm" Zhicheng.
It seems that fy has been tired of competitive Dota 2 for a while. He took a half-year break after TI10, came back in 2022, and, by his own admission, was "dragged into playing TI12" a year later. Even Azure Ray's unexpected success at the tournament didn't stop the legendary support from attempting another career pause or retirement. However, the organization's owner convinced him to rejoin in 2024.
