Emo and Pwy join LGD this season

Emo and Pwy will round out the LGD roster this season while planet is moved to inactive status. 

As part of the Post-TI12 roster shuffle, LGD began to show some changes within their ranks. On November 11th, Cheng "NothingToSay" Jin Xiang moved over to Invictus Gaming as part of their new powerhouse lineup.

It took some time and a direct invite to ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023 before fans would discover what the new team composition looks like. But it seems that it has finally been revealed. 

The TL;DR:

"1.LGD e-sports club player Lin Hao (ID: planet) turned inactive
2. The former No.2 player of iG E-sports Club joined LGD E-sports Club on Monday (ID: Emo) in the form of transfer.
3. Xiong Jiahan (ID: Pyw), the former No.4 player of iG E-Sports Club, joined LGD E-Sports Club as a free man."

It seems that LGD has gained access to one of the best mid-laners in the region with the addition of Emo. 

LGD was the only team from China that was directly invited to The International 2023 via DPC points. They ultimately ended up with an impressive, albeit for them disappointing, third-place finish.
