Clearlove lands at Weibo Gaming, Dignitas swap Photon for Denathor in July 15 update

Clearlove headlines July 15’s roster file with a direct move from EDward Gaming to Weibo Gaming. EDG removed the former jungler and longtime franchise figure from its head coach slot, and WBG added him as its new Head Coach. Weibo also adjusted its staff structure, moving Shine from Head Coach to Coach, a clear reshuffle on the LPL side.

North America brought the biggest player change of the day. Dignitas added top laner Denathor and updated his contract through November 15, 2027. At the same time, Photon left the organization. That gives DIG a straightforward top lane handoff, with Denathor stepping into the role and a long contract suggesting the team wants stability at the position.

Fnatic made a matching move in EMEA by adding top laner Soboro, then logging a contract update that runs through November 16, 2026. Fnatic did not pair the signing with a listed departure in this update, but the move still stands out because it locks in a new top lane piece beyond this season.

The rest of the EMEA file focused on staff continuity. Team Heretics updated assistant coach Mithy’s contract to expire the day after Worlds 2026. G2 Esports did the same with head coach Perkz, extending his deal through the day after Worlds 2027. Neither move changes a role, but both entries matter for long term planning.

Elsewhere in China, TT parted ways with bot laner Ryan3. No replacement appeared in this batch, leaving that opening unresolved for now.

Put together, the day was about commitment as much as change. WBG made the most immediate coaching swing with Clearlove, DIG executed a clean top lane swap, and Fnatic tied Soboro to the roster through 2026.
