Worlds 2021 Scout champion becomes LNG Esports player

The Chinese esports organization has announced the signing of 2021 world champion Scout to the League of Legends roster. Lee "Scout" Ye-chan, 24, will take over the center lane.

The future Worlds triumphant began his journey on the professional stage of the League of Legends in May 2015. The first club of the South Korean was SK Telecom T1.

Scout's comment

Thank you for the trust from LNG Esports. I will be grateful and will always remember 7 years at EDG. Hope everyone has a bright future!

He stayed at SK Telecom T1 Scout for less than a year - from May 2015 to March 2016. Most of the time the player was on the bench, losing the center line to the legendary Faker. However, Scout managed to check in at LCK 2016, reaching the TOP-3, after which he was invited to EDward Gaming.

The joint history of Scout and EDward Gaming lasted 7 years. During this time, the player managed to win many titles, but the peak year for him was 2021.

In the 2021 season, EDward Gaming won the LPL Summer 2021 Playoffs, after which they triumphantly outplayed DAMWON in the Worlds 2021 final. After winning the 2021 World Championship, the performance of Scout and the roster of EDward Gaming dipped.

Last season, the team managed to partially return to the previous level by winning the regional finals in China and reaching the TOP-8 Worlds 2022. At the 2022 World Championship, EDward Gaming lost to the future winners from DRX.

The new team of the titled player will be LNG. The Chinese club is experiencing difficulties in the LPL, where it finished in the top 7 last season.
