He switched from LCK to LPL to join the candidate team for the LPL Spring 2023 championship trophy, JD Gaming (369, Kanavi, knight, Ruler, Missing). Formula 2 Korea 3 plus Korean coach Homme will be a powerful force next season.
Ruler won Worlds while playing for Samsung Galaxy, they defeated SKT T1 3-0 at Worlds 2017. He is an all-round AD carry, whose power is spread evenly across champion pool, playstyle, ability to kill. damage and kill the target. Perhaps he noticed the phenomenon of LCK and LPL in recent years taking turns holding the Worlds trophy, so Ruler turned to LPL to capture this trend.
Bin
Former team: RNG
New team: Bilibili Gaming
Top laner Bin had a rough year when he had to play for two teams RNG in the spring and Bilibili Gaming in the summer. Bin has erratic form and a monochromatic style of play, with his forte playing split pushing in 1:4 formations, which has caused many to doubt his level.
Overall, Bin is really valuable in the squad, he knows how to unleash his power at important times. As a result, RNG won the LPL Spring, won the MSI 2022. When Breathe replaced Bin, RNG only made it to the top 6 of the LPL and ended up in the quarterfinals of Worlds. Bin to Bilibili Gaming, the team won the Demacia Cup 2022 to be held in December 2022.

Xiaohu
Former team: RNG
New team: Weibo Gaming
Mid laner Xiaohu said goodbye to the team that he had been with for more than 7 years to join Weibo Gaming, a team that has just had a comprehensive personnel purification with the desire to conquer a high position in the 2023 season.
Xiaohu and RNG attended Worlds 6 times, absent once in 2020. That was the period of dominance of Top Esports, JD Gaming, Invictus Gaming and the dark horse Suning Gaming. Although RNG is so strong, they have never touched the most valuable trophy in League of Legends. Surely this is one of the reasons why Xiaohu left his shirt, seeking glory before ending his career as a player.
This year Weibo Gaming has a very good team of players: TheShy, Karsa, Xiaohu, Light, Crisp. The determination of these stars is worth watching, from each match in the group stage, to the playoffs, through 2 domestic seasons before reaching Worlds 2023.
TheShy
Former team: Weibo Gaming
New team: Weibo Gaming
It’s no coincidence that top laner TheShy is the only one staying at Weibo Gaming. Experts predict that the team’s gameplay will revolve around TheShy, who carried the main team last season.
TheShy once won the 2018 World Championship while playing for Invictus Gaming. After that, he dropped in form, being questioned by many about his ability to continue playing professionally when he first joined Weibo Gaming in early 2022.
In terms of skills and taking on the assigned roles in each match, TheShy is very good. However, sometimes he gets too caught up in solo kill situations leading to the loss of the game. Another weakness of TheShy is that they often lose when holding strange champions, which makes the opponent confident and capture him. The year 2023 is another page of TheShy’s history, to see how he will overcome his weaknesses, perfect his strengths.
