JD Gaming is definitely one of the teams that has seen the biggest decline this year in the LPL League. The champions of the LPL Spring Split and the Vice-Champions of the Summer Split for the 2020 season had a very critical 2021 season, which ended last August, finishing 12th overall overall at the end of the season. Regular, 7 wins record for 9 losses. Kanavi and his teammates missed out this year, failing to qualify for the 2021 League of Legends Worlds.

With the level of play displayed throughout the year and the results achieved in the LPL league, it is clear that the time has come to make some changes in the club management lineup. JD Gaming has announced the departure of Korean boatman Lee “Loken” Dong-Wook, one of the team’s longest serving members for the first time. After a brief stint at TOP Esports in 2019 after more than three years at JD Gaming‌, LokeN said goodbye to the company. LokeN, who joined the team in December 2020, has not been the only one to leave the company since the announcement of AD Carrie and liner Jin “Mystic” Seong-jun. Despite the form sometimes poor LokeN, Mystic did not start the year and set aside the entire 2021 season. Now 26 years old and facing personal issues related to his divorce and the care of his children, Mystic may return home to Korea for good and end his career as a professional player as some believe. A few days later, JD Gaming confirmed the termination of the contracts of Zhang “Zoom” Jing-Ron and Zhuo “LvMao” Ming-Hao, the second of which was recruited by TOP Esports and LNG Esports respectively.

In terms of recruitment, the Chinese team initially welcomed its 3 new recruits, some of whom came from academic training; To complete his list for the 2022 LPL season, JD hired gaming boy “369” Jia-hao (formerly TOP Sports), Lou “missing” Yun-feng (formerly Team WE) and Die “Xiao17” Ying-ji. JD Gaming has also appointed a new head coach, Yoon “Male” Sung-Young. Home previously coached JD Gaming from May 2018 to November 2020 and after being absent for more than a year, he returned to JDG to do his role again. Shih, who left JD Gaming on December 2 and joined Bilibili Gaming as the company’s supervisor, was replaced by “Chashao” Yi-hao.

Second, JD Gaming welcomes its new boatliner for the next competitive season; His choice finally fell to Wang “Hope” G, a 21-year-old young man who trained in EDward gaming architecture, playing for almost four years for the EDG Academy and the EDG Youth Team. Hope got his first start in the LPL in the Spring Split 2020 with EDG, unfortunately, he got some bad results; The team finished the regular season in 6th place and exited the second round of the playoffs via FunPlus Phoenix. The results for Summer Split 2020 were even worse, with EDG finishing 10th in the regular season and failing to qualify for the summer season playoffs. After this first experience in Chinese Elite, Hope returned to LDL with the EDG Youth Team. With JD Gaming, the Chinese boatman will have a new opportunity to prove himself in the LPL, to see how it works with Missing, the support recruited in the final transfer window after spending three years in Team WE.

The start of the LPL League’s 2022 season is scheduled for Monday, January 10, with JD Gaming likely to unveil the final composition of his team, thus ensuring that the Spring segment finally gets recruited; It was Chen “Yimeng” Ming-yong, a 21-year-old midfielder, who trained in Team WE. Joy was first recruited to join the Dream Squad, but Yimeng was eventually promoted to the first team to support Yagao during the regular season. By joining JD Gaming, Yimeng will finally enjoy his first tenure in the LPL after playing his final seasons for the academic teams of Team WE and TOP Sports and taking the place of alternate midfielder.
