The Chinese League of Legends community has called for a long time for renowned AD carry and two-time Worlds finalist, Jian "Uzi" Zihao to join Team OMG. It seems today they get their wish.

Rumors have been circulating about the transfer for several weeks, and it reached a full frenzy when OMG's top laner, Gao "Gogoing" Diping posted a photo of himself, Uzi, and Yu "Cool" Jiajun, who let his contract with OMG expire. Rumors speculated that he would return to the team should OMG upgrade their bottom lane.

The announcement was released on OMG's weibo:

Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long, now we are very pleased to share the news: after friendly consultations, UZI from today officially joined Team OMG. All OMG players along the way will also continue in the OMG family together and prepare for the new season. Hope fans of the OMG family are pleased. OMG will bring you more exciting games for S5!

It is speculated that Uzi's transfer fee and Cool's re-signing fee were steep investments, though the full amount hasn't been publicly disclosed.
