The 22-year-old has been a star through his career, but the 2021 season turned out to be more challenging for him. He only joined the LPL Summer Split in the fifth week due to contracting COVID-19, playing just eight series. The team then failed to qualify for both the World Championship and the LPL playoffs for the first time since he joined IG.

TheShy is replacing Chen “Bin” Ze-Bin, who left the team yesterday after two seasons. Bin’s team for the 2022 season is yet to be revealed, but rumors point at Royal Never Give Up according to South Korean outlet Naver.

Weibo Gaming’s four other players, formerly of Suning before their rebranding, are still in limbo. It’s still unclear if SofM, Angel, huanfeng, and ON will remain with the roster for 2022.
