BLG Faces Setback as New Jungler Shad0w Loses Chinese Citizenship Over Dual Nationality Issue
BLG has found itself in an unexpected situation with its new jungler, Shad0w, who joined the team on July 25, 2025, from FunPlus Phoenix. The Chinese player, known for his aggressive playstyle and consistent performances on the international stage, was considered one of the key signings for the summer season. However, shortly after the transfer, a user reported to the Chinese immigration authorities that he might hold dual citizenship.
Following an investigation, the Wenzhou police confirmed that Shad0w indeed possesses and uses an Italian passport, which resulted in the loss of his Chinese citizenship. Under Chinese law, citizens born abroad must choose one citizenship by the age of 18. Shad0w failed to do so, leading to the current situation.
As a result, he will most likely be unable to compete for BLG until the organization secures a work visa for him. This development jeopardizes the team’s plans for the season, as Shad0w was preparing to debut in the lineup in the upcoming matches and was a central part of the team’s overall strategy.
