As a bo5, this is still a good figure. Especially when you have a grandee like JD Gaming playing against you.

In 2022, LNG started their climb to the top of the Chinese League of Legends. LNG Esports made it to the top 6 at LPL Spring 2022, but it got better: in the summer split LNG Esports made it to the top 4 at LPL Summer 2023.

They also played at the regional finals in an attempt to qualify for the Worlds 2022, but had no luck. LNG Esports finished in the top 3.
