The legendary Chinese support Fzzf officially announced his retirement today, and posted the following message on his Weibo:
Only when writing this did I realize how hard it was to let go…
Three years have passed since I went from someone who was obsessed with all sorts of competitive games to becoming a League of Legends pro. From the original DREAM to PHX, and then to WE, and finally to EDG today, everything went by like a dream. It feels like yesterday when I was just trying to win a small local tournament, to becoming world champions with WE, to 18 tournament victories today. But yesterday is still yesterday, and seeing many of my former teammates retire, combined with the fact that I’m one of the older pro players remaining, I have to confront reality. I’ve been thinking about it since the end of Season 4, and I finally decided to retire. Retiring does not mean I will be exiting e-sports. I will remain in this industry with everyone, I won’t be leaving, and I will never forget the past three years. During the past three years I’ve been both praised and doubted; I’ve hesitated, despaired, and questioned myself, but ultimately I endured. Thank you to all my teammates who’ve always believed in me, thank you to my parents who’ve always supported me, thank you to WE and EDG for nurturing me, and thank you to all the fans who either like or dislike me for motivating me. Without you guys, I wouldn’t be who I am today.
+ Show Spoiler +从当初一个执迷于各种竞技游戏的我到现在已经是一个英雄联盟职业
选手的我，3年已经过去了，从最初的DREAM俱乐部到后来的PHX，再到
WE，最后到现在的EDG，一切对于我来说像一场梦一样，从当初只想拿
一个小比赛冠军的我到在WE拿了第一个冠军的我，再到现在已经拿了
18个冠军的我来说，就彷如昨天一样，但总归是昨天，看着我以前
的队友很多都开始退役，作为电竞圈年龄偏大的我来说也不得不面对
这个问题，从S4结束到现在我一直在考虑，但最后我还是决定退役了，
退役不代表不在电竞圈里了，我还是会继续在这个圈子和大家一起，
不会离去，永远忘不了这3年的点点滴滴，在这3年里我受过赞美受过
质疑，我曾彷徨过，悲伤过，质疑过自己，但我一直挺了过去，感谢
我的队友一直相信着我，感谢我的父母一直支持着我，感谢WE和EDG俱乐部
一直培养着我，感谢所有喜欢我或讨厌我的粉丝激励着我，没有你们，就没有现在的我。

Old players leaving/being unable to keep up is a sign of growth.
If you want to watch a game where players are still relevant 3 years past their prime, League isn't the game you should be watching.
In regards to Fzzf, I wish him all the best.

XaioXaio and maybe misaya were the only ones that couldn't keep up. There is literally nothing that ever indicated weixiao or caomei were falling behind, the only reason they retired is because actscene/ninja/conan became literally impossible for anyone to carry and the streaming monies were beyond ridiculous. Well in caomei's case the pregnancy played a factor.
I never said I suddenly don't like LoL I'm just sad that a teams I liked are more or less gone, I was sad to see cloudtemplar and reapered go, doesn't mean I've suddenly lost interest in Korean LoL.

So NA LCS isn't really growing despite Riot-protectionist region lock eh

we knew that already though

NA still produced C9 - so for quantity it's not the best, but C9 compared to the players everyone else is referencing is a newer team. With the recent import trend though, it's hard to see NA producing more "pure" top teams. But honestly, if you've played high elo challenger in EU/NA you know the difference. EU is just a more competitive environment. Even more apparent in KR/CN. Isn't NA also smaller than the other three in terms of total players?
