The Chinese organization Bilibili Gaming has announced their parting ways with jungler Yang "Wei" Yan-Wei. This information was shared on Sheep Esports' page on X.

History and Context

Wei joined BLG in May 2024 after leaving RNG, where he spent most of his career. His transfer was one of the most talked-about deals of that offseason. He was expected to strengthen the jungle area and bring more stability to the team's gameplay.

With him, BLG performed successfully in the LPL Summer 2024 and qualified for the World Championship, but they failed to reach the final stages of the tournament. Despite strong individual performances, Wei's synergy with other players was not always at the desired level.

Reasons for Departure and Future Prospects

The reasons for the separation have not been specified. It could be a decision by the organization as part of a roster rebuild or initiated by the player. It's possible that Wei is already considering offers from other teams within the LPL or beyond.

Wei's departure leaves a key position vacant in BLG's lineup and opens up new transfer opportunities in the market. Both Chinese teams and international organizations will be closely monitoring the future of the experienced jungler.
