The legendary Chinese jungler Ming "Clearlove" Kai has taken on the role of head coach for JD Gaming in League of Legends. He replaces Kim “cvMax” Dae Ho, who previously left the organization of his own accord.

Clearlove's appointment has sparked mixed reactions within the community. On one hand, he is an iconic figure in the history of Chinese LoL, but on the other, his coaching results have yet to impress. However, the sample size of his matches and tournaments is not substantial enough to draw definitive conclusions.

Now, Clearlove faces a serious challenge: to bring JDG back to the top after a disappointing 2025 season, in which the team failed to qualify for the Esports World Cup 2025.
