LNG add Weiwei, Nia and Ycx, TES bring back Zhuo as VIT part ways with Humanoid

LNG made the busiest move set of July 20, adding three players at once. The LPL side brought in jungler Weiwei, mid laner Nia, and support Ycx, a clear injection of depth and direction as the Chinese roster market kept moving.

TES also completed one of the day’s clearest player-to-player switches, signing support Zhuo after his exit from NIP. That move leaves Top Esports with a fresh option in the support role, while NIP lose both bot laner Assum and Zhuo in the same update. Losing an entire bottom lane pairing in one day is a sharp change for any roster, and it puts immediate focus on how NIP rebuild that part of the lineup.

Elsewhere in China, Ultra Prime announced the departure of bot laner Hena. With Hena out and Assum also leaving NIP, the AD carry market in the region picked up another layer of movement on the same day that TES and LNG added pieces.

The EMEA headline came from Vitality, where mid laner Humanoid and assistant coach Lukezy both departed. Humanoid is the biggest individual name in this batch of moves, and his exit leaves a major hole in the middle of VIT’s structure. Lukezy’s departure also strips away a piece of the coaching staff at the same time, making this more than a simple player change.

Taken together, the day belonged to LNG’s three-man intake and TES securing Zhuo. VIT’s decision to move on from Humanoid is the move that will keep the most attention in EMEA, while NIP now face the most obvious roster gap in the LPL.
