Jian Zihao (born April 5, 1997), better known by his in-game ID Uzi, is a Chinese League of Legends player who is currently the AD Carry for Royal Never Give Up. He has previously played for OMG, Royal Club, and Newbee. Widely regarded as the best AD Carry of all time, he is renowned for his plays with AD Carry champions, such as Vayne, Kai'Sa, Ezreal and Kog'Maw. Throughout his career, Uzi has been considered by many as one of the most mechanically skilled League of Legends players, if not the best overall. He is consistently ranked as the best AD Carry in the world, by both analysts and pro players, and at times, the best player in the world. He has often been credited as the second best League of Legends player in history, after Lee "Faker" Sang-Hyeok.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Uzi has played in the League of Legends World Championship grand finals twice, both times with Royal Club. He won his first international title in the 2018 Mid-Season Invitational with his team Royal Never Give Up, after defeating the LCK Champion Kingzone Dragonx.[8]

Uzi was officially ranked as the top 1 of worlds top 20 players on 2018.

Career

Uzi began his professional career on Royal Club. Widely considered as one of the best AD carries of S3 and S4, Uzi demonstrated his great mechanic prowess and carried his team to two consecutive second place finishes at the League of Legends World Championship in both 2013 and 2014. Despite their success at Season 3 Worlds, the departure of Tabe prompted Uzi to switch to mid lane at the start of Season 4 before returning to the ADC role during the summer. Renamed to Star Horn Royal Club, Uzi with Korean imports inSec and Zero rose to the challenge and finished second at worlds with a 1:3 series against one of the best teams ever, Samsung White.[9] And he left Royal club for the communication problem with Korean imports.

Season 5 however, proved to be a slump in Uzi's career after moving to OMG.[10] Despite being touted as one of the biggest talent transfers of the off season, OMG incurred difficulties in integrating Uzi to the team. Coupled with the decline of Gogoing and Lovelin, Season 5 was a disappointing one for Uzi. Uzi was picked up by Qiao Gu Reapers and was their sub for Peco.[11] QG were invited to IEM Katowice in March 2016 where they beat Fnatic in their first best of one but were then subsequently eliminated in the group stages following a loss to SK Telecom T1 and then losing to Fnatic 1 - 2.[12]

In May 2016, Qiao Gu Reapers was acquired by Newbee. However five days later Uzi's contract was bought out by Royal Never Give Up.[13]

In Oct 2016, Uzi led Royal Never Give Up to the world championship Quarterfinals, but was defeated by SK Telecom T1 again.[14]

At the 2017 All-Star Event, Uzi displayed his talent once again. After repeating as the 1v1 tournament champion in a close match against Bjergsen, he helped propel the LPL All-Stars over the LMS All-Stars in the final. This was Uzi's first international 5v5 tournament win.[15]

At the 2018 Midseason Invitational, Uzi would lead his team to a 3-1 win over Kingzone DragonX in the final. Initially starting the event 2-3 in the group stage, they would proceed to go 12-1, including a 3-0 victory over EU representatives Fnatic.
