Hanwha Life Esports announced on the 19th of November that Kim “SoHwan” Jun-yeong and Kang “Tempt” Myung-gu’s contract with HLE has ended.

In addition to this announcement, HLE added that the team is still in active negotiation with the players, in the hopes of re-signing them.

Hanwha Life Esports has gone into a state of rebuilding for this offseason. After the departure of their head coach OnAir from the team, the organization was quick to make further changes, letting go of multiple players including Thal, Bono, and Moojin. The team has also recently announced the retirement of the team captain and bot laner Sangyoon.

Currently, there has been no official announcement regarding Lava’s status, who is the last remaining player from Hanwha’s 2019 season.
