Heart’s resignation was announced on RNG’s Weibo page today, saying that although the team wanted to renew his contract, a “sudden change in personal wishes” meant that Heart would be departing. On his own Weibo, Heart wrote that he was happy working with great players and staff, however, “In the end, although the results were not very satisfactory, I worked hard, I have no regret with RNG and I’ve decided to fulfill my next dream.”





Heart joined RNG in March of 2016 for training, helping to coach during the LPL Spring Playoffs and the 2017 Demacia Cup. When FireFox resigned as head coach following the 2017 World Championship, Heart stepped into the position and led the team to first place finishes in the 2018 MSI and the 2018 Demacia Cup. Unfortunately, their run at the World Championship was marred by disappointments, poor performance, and came to an end in the quarterfinals against G2 Esports, a team RNG believed they could easily beat.

“I hope and believe that RNG will always get good results,” Heart writes. “At the same time, I will join a new team and hope you all can support me.”
