Mercato LoL: RNG formalizes its six-party roster for 2022

While Demacia Cup is now over, Royal Never Give Up, who was knocked out by TOP Esports champion in the quarterfinals, confirmed its final roster for the next LPL season. Few big surprises in this line-up, which spectators could see at work during this pre-season 2022 competition. Only one player has not been tested, it is Ming, the titular support in the structure since 2016, which has been replaced by Bunny during the competition. The latter arrives as a substitute from Royal Club, the academic team.

On the side of the five holder for the season, we will therefore find the toplaner Bin, who left Suning following the takeover by Weibo, but also four elders: the jungler Wei, Xiaohu (who roleswap to the midlane), and the botlane made up of GALA and Ming. Finally, KenZhu, who arrived last week from EDward Gaming, has been named the new head coach. A team which is therefore used to playing together, in particular Ming and Xiaohu who will be doing their 6th and 7th year at RNG.

It remains to be seen if that will be enough to grab a podium during the regular seasons of the new LPL year. In 2021, RNG won the title at Spring Split but played poorly in the second half of the year. This did not prevent the team from winning the Regional Finals and flying to the Worlds 2021.
