Top Esports has completely retained the previous LoL roster
The leadership of the Chinese esports organization reported that the management decided not to make any changes to its League of Legends roster. It is in this roster that the team will continue performing in the LPL summer split. Top Esports currently includes Yu 'Qingtinan' Zhi-Khan, Huang 'Wayward' Ren-Xing, Gao 'Tian' Tian-Liang, Wang 'Xiaopeng' Peng, Zhuo 'knight' Ding, Yu 'JackeyLove' Wen-Bo, Wen 'Zhuo' Xiu-Zhuo and Lin 'Mark' Xiu.
The team performed with the same lineup at LPL Spring 2022 and showed pretty good results. The team reached the finals and, having suffered a defeat in the fight against Royal Never Give Up, took 2nd place in the spring split. As a reward, the team received a cash reward of $151,044. Despite this, the victory of RNG was very difficult, and therefore the Top Esports management decided that the players should continue to play in such a roster.
It is noteworthy that knight and JacketLove still play in Top Esports, who joined the organization in November 2018 and April 2020, respectively. It was with them that Top Esports experienced the best moments in the history of the esports organization so far. In 2020, they had their best season, first taking 2nd place at the LPL Spring 2020 ($141,593), after which they won the Mid-Season Cup 2020 ($240,000) and LPL Summer 2020 ($290,267). Finally, the team played well in the 2020 World Championship and took 3rd-4th place there, receiving $200,250 as a reward.
LPL Summer 2022, where Top Esports will perform in their old roster, will be held in the summer. When exactly the championship starts and when it will end is currently unknown. The prize fund of the event will be $623,394. The winner will take home the main prize of $296,855 and receive a solid bonus in the form of an invitation to the 2022 World Championship.
