LPL host Candice records pronunciation of players’ usernames

The correct pronunciation of all LPL players’ gamertags was recorded by host Duan “Candice” Yushuang and added to Gamepedia earlier today.

The pronunciation of Chinese names and usernames can be a headache for esports casters who aren’t familiar with the language. The letter “x,” for example, is pronounced “ch” and “zh” is pronounced “j.”

Now, all username pronunciations for the players in the 2020 LPL Spring Split can be listened to on the esports database.
