Lu "
Leyan" Jue will be the new jungler of
Ninjas in Pyjamas in the
LPL, as announced by the club this Monday. He was previously playing for Invictus Gaming that he joined in the middle of Spring Split and helped bringing more proactivity to the roster. The Chinese jungler parted ways with the organization. This occurs three months after the player has been fined ¥50,000 CNY and received a two matches suspension for inappropriate behavior on stream.
NIP has been calling for a change in the jungle as they are currently struggling in their Summer Split. With the team down 0-5 and desperate for victory, Leyan has been recruited to bring dynamism and help secure a few wins. With his carry playstyle with champions such as Nidalee, Brand or Xin Zhao, the current meta seems to suit him. NIP is playing against Top Esports on Thursday, but he should be replacing Mao "Aki" An in their next match against BiliBili Gaming next friday.
