Their two compatriots, fly and NoFe, will leave WBG after coaching for two and one years respectively.

Jiejie, who previously played for EDWard Gaming (EDG), won both the LPL and World Championship Finals in 2021.

At the beginning of this year, Jiejie transferred to iG and performed well, but after helping the team achieve third place in Split 2, he was replaced by Yan Yangwei (ID: Wei) before the start of the Summer Split.

Afterwards, he transferred to Fun Plus Phoenix (FPX) but his performance was unsatisfactory.

Zika, who previously played for Invictus Gaming (iG) like Jiejie, transferred to LNG in 2022.
