Star Horn Royal Club have announced that their jungler, Choi "inSec" In-seok, was diagnosed with a tibial fracture and required surgery. There is currently no timetable set for his return.

After the unfortunate injury in Chongqing, inSec was rushed to the hospital and diagnosed with a tibial fracture. Following recommendations, we will transfer inSec back to Shanghai for the next treatment. The Club has provided the best medical environment for inSec. There's swelling to the injured area requiring surgery. The results of surgery will determine inSec's next playing time. We only wish inSec a speedy recory and want him in good health. Thank you to the fans for their care for inSec. Pray together! —Star Horn Royal Club official statement, 2015

The injury occurred a day before the Demacia Cup, during the dress rehearsal, after several players jumped from a ledge on the second floor because they couldn't find the stairs. In-seok had to be rushed to the hospital for the injury he sustained.

As a result of his initial injury, Star Horn Royal Club played their quarterfinal Demacia Cup match against WE with a borrowed substitute jungler, Kang "Blank" Sung-gu, from Energy Pacemaker Carry. The substitution was allowed despite the fact that Blank is contracted to another team as a result of the ACE clause that states teams may borrow players in the event that they cannot field a complete roster.

Star Horn Royal Club lost three games to WE with Blank and dropped from the tournament in the quarterfinals.

As there is no timetable for when inSec will return to LPL, it's unclear if SHRC will continue to play with Blank in LPL this week or use an alternate substitute contracted to the Club.

This week, Star Horn Royal Club will face Vici Gaming and Energy Pacemaker. They are in dire need of picking up three points against EP, their lowest ranked opponent, if they want a better seed in the Promotion tournament or a chance at Playoffs.
