Hang complains that no team wants him.

With the LPL transfer period concluded, most major LPL teams have announced their rosters. TES's new season lineup has been doubted by many fans since they swapped their support for LDL's Fengyue, and their jungler is the “reborn jungler” Naiyou. Many viewers believe this TES roster will struggle to qualify for Worlds. Additionally, many are curious why TES chose to let go of their first-team support Hang and pick LDL’s Fengyue, who has never played a single LPL match.

Many fans are also wondering which team TES’s support Hang will join after leaving TES. Recently, Hang streamed from home and revealed during the stream that he reached out to several teams during the transfer window, including LNG, IG, and WE, but none were willing to sign him. He has now become a free agent and might switch to being a streamer in the future. Hang’s comments sparked heated discussions among LPL fans, with many joking that the "JKL support curse" has struck again.

JKL's support curse sparks controversy.

Fans who follow JKL closely know that as a star LPL AD carry, JKL’s biggest trait is helping his support players rapidly improve. For example, JKL’s former support MEIKO was heavily criticized for poor performance in 2023 after dragging down Uzi, but after playing alongside JKL, MEIKO earned the title of the best support of the year. This year, Hang’s situation is similar; before partnering with JKL, Hang was a substitute at WBG, but after teaming up with JKL, Hang immediately became a first-team LPL support.

However, these supports often face unemployment or a sharp decline in skill after leaving JKL. Players like Mark, Qiuqiu, Prophet, Baolan, and Lucas all lost their jobs shortly after parting ways with JKL. Notably, Mark played two years with JKL but was quickly dropped by LNG management after switching to GALA’s lane. (Who do you think is responsible when JKL’s supports become unemployed or decline after leaving him?)

Fans believe Hang deserves being unwanted.

After Hang publicly complained that no LPL team wanted him, many fans felt his situation was self-inflicted. Hang has spent recent years with top LPL teams like LNG, WBG, and TES, but never seized the chance to prove himself. He tends to falter in major tournaments, and many consider him a classic “small heart” player. TES’s choice to trust LDL’s Fengyue over renewing Hang’s contract says it all.

After Hang announced he had no offers during the transfer window, LPL champion coach Zhu Kai revealed some inside details. Zhu Kai said Hang had many potential transfer options, but his price was too high. Many LPL teams were unwilling to pay top dollar for him in the first split. IG and LNG both tried to acquire Hang, but he refused to lower his asking price. That’s why Hang chose to take a break next season. If Hang were willing to reduce his price, he could still have chances to return in the second or third splits.
